What about "prevailing winds"? In fact, isn't that a better answer than the jetstream, which can shift to the north or south, not near most flights? The winds are just about everywhere.

Ah, is that Mr Dyson, that delightful inventor (scratch that - marketer / salesman) who invested heavily in persuading Brits to leave the EU, just before relocating his factory to Asia?

I wonder what motivated that? Must be patriotism, selfless and true…
