Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL: Airplanes take off and land into the wind. They takeoff into the wind to reduce the groundspeed required to lift and land into it to reduce groundspeed when landing. by Key-Code-4296

I feel like a lot of airports have runways that are perpendicular to each other, so they can choose to use the E<->W or N<->S depending on how the winds are.
