Wind always blows high to low, because low pressure air is less dense that high pressure air, so therefore it goes high to low. Here, this link might explain it a bit better: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/synoptic/wind.htm
Hope this helps. :-)

This has to be a trick question. Even if you didn't know a thing about weather you should be able to figure this out. If you have a filled balloon (high pressure) and release it to the atmosphere (low pressure) which way does the air go, into or out of the balloon?

High pressure is where the air is pressing down with force on the surface of the Earth-the air is sinking because it is more dense than the surrounding air.
Low pressure, on the other hand, is rising, because it is less dense. Most often, this decreased density is due to heating of the earth's surface at that point. As the air at the low pressure rises, the sinking air from the high pressure "blows" in to take the place of the rising air.

High pressure always flows to low pressure in any system, opened or closed.
