Assalaamu'Alaikum, lucky you, have a safe journey.
Here's summat which might answer your question:

Praise be to Allaah.
If the sun sets and he breaks his fast on the ground, then when the plane takes off he sees the sun, he does not have to refrain from eating and drinking, because he has completed his fast in full, and there is no need to repeat the act of worship after he has finished it. If the plane takes off before sunset, and he wants to complete that day’s fast whilst travelling, then he should not break his fast until the sun sets in the place where he is in the air. It is not permissible for the pilot to take the plane down to a level where the sun cannot be seen so that the people can break their fast sooner, because this is a kind of trick. But if he descends for a valid technical reason and the disk of the sun disappears, then he should break his fast.
From the fatwas of Shaykh Ibn Baaz. See the booklet Sab’oon Mas’alah fi’l-Siyaam (Seventy Issues related to Fasting).
The Standing Committee said:
If the fasting person is on board an airplane and he finds out through the clock or the telephone that a nearby city has broken the fast, but he can see the sun because the plane is high up, then he is not allowed to break his fast because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
*“then complete your Sawm (fast) till the nightfall”
[al-Baqarah 2:187]*
This does not apply in his case so long as he can still see the sun.
But if he broke his fast in that city after the day ended for him, then the plane took off and he saw the sun, then he should continue to break his fast because he comes under the ruling of the city from which he took off, where the day ended whilst he was still there.
In another fatwa, the Standing Committee said:
If a person is in an airplane during the day in Ramadaan, and he is fasting and wants to continue fasting until night-time, it is not permissible for him to break his fast until the sun has set.
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 10/136-137
And Allaah knows best

walekumsalaam and jazakallah brother
my flight is after iftar so breaking the fast is not the problem actually…the problem is about the next 36 hours…during which i’ll be on the plane…how i should keep those fasts? which timings should i follow then?
i’m confused about that ![]()
Chapter : 2 (Al-Baqarah) Verse : 186 [Short Commentary]
*The month of Ramadaan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed as a guidance for mankind with clear proofs of guidance and discrimination. Therefore, whosoever is present at home in this month let him fast therein. But whoso is temporarily sick or on a journey, shall fast the same number of other days, ALLAH desires ease for you and HE desires not hardship for you, and HE desires that you may complete the number, and that you may exalt ALLAH for HIS having guided you and that you may be grateful. *
You don't need to fast until you reach your destination.
u can break the fasts while in travel and make up for the lost days after the eid....
its an ease permitted by Allah and one shud make use of it....
36-hour flight! ![]()
