The destination should come up behind the plane before it reaches it's destination, if the earth is spinning at 1000 mph and the plane only moves at 500 mph.

It doesn't; typically it is roughly an hour longer from London to New York the vice versa

One valid question I need to pose here. How does a flight from New York City to London and a flight from London to New York City take the same amount of time? The earth should be spinning in the opposite direction of your flight when taking off from London and shorten your flight and vice versa when taking off from New York City lengthening your flight. The flight time being equal both ways makes no physical sense what so ever.

An hour can be explained by time taxiing in the long lines of planes at Heathrow and a head or tailwind.
