Question:
If the airplane journey is for one hour or an hour and a half, should we say that it is better for him to fast because there is no hardship?
Answer:
It is permissible for him to fast, but it is better to break the fast; because travel is a place of hardship, even if he is in an airplane. The flight, the landing, the loading, and the like involve hardship, and the ruling was made easier for the traveler. Yes.
