Question:
I have to catch a plane and can either daven maariv b’yechidus or mincha before plag and maariv after plag with a minyan. Which is preferable and do you have sources
Answer:
Since usually on the plane there is less settling of mind, and making a minyan on the plane disturbs the mind and direction from passersby, one should prefer to pray in private before you board the plane, and even if it is not time of ‘tzet hakochavim’, you can pray ‘Arvit’ if it is after plag.
