Headwinds make a big difference in the length of a flight. My flight from Athens to Paris last winter lasted an hour longer because of headwinds. As a result, I had to sprint to the gate to make my connecting flight. It’s something people need to take into account when traveling with a connection. Always travel with a light carryon backpack in case you have to run a 400 meter dash.
This is a great breakdown and simple explanation of the go/no go decision.
