Typically airliners flying the reverse route will avoid the highest speed jet stream core. They'll usually go north or south of the core to fly against somewhat lower speed headwinds.

Just think of it as being like a Ramjet. (The air is rammed into the engine.)🤪🛩️

The jet stream is in a particular location. If you need to fly the other way you can avoid it.

Different altitudes have different winds.
