The reading also states the two types of jet streams, the subtropical and the polar across southern border of continental United States and Idaho and Monatana respectively. According to the passage the only difference between these jet streams is the temperature.

By taking an example of a flight from LosAngeles to New York and back, the speaker elaborates the effect of these jet streams over air travel.
