My understanding is that the EWR-SIN flight goes more or less straight up over the North Pole, whereas the SIN-EWR flight generally follows a more southerly route over Japan, Alaska, etc. in order to take advantage of the jetstream. I think the nonstop NYC-HKG flights do the same.

Thanks, Singapore_Air. A picture is worth a thousand words! Or, in my case, about 40.
