my flight got delayed but the pilot said they would go faster to make up for lost time and we ended up arriving early. This got me thinking why can’t planes always go at this faster speed?

I’m not an expert but I believe the main reason is fuel efficiency. Traveling faster means more air resistance which means lower fuel efficiency. The same is true in your car. You will get better mileage at 35 miles an hour then at 75 miles an hour.
