how is one suppoesed to pray in an aeroplane when there is no other choice

If any Salaat time approaches during the flying time, that Salaat should be performed on the plane. You should inform the flight attendants of your religious obligation and request them to facilitate for you by arranging an isolated corner to perform your Salaat. In our experiences of traveling by plane, we have observed that flight attendants of all flights are very accommodating. However, due to their responsibilities, we should co-operate with them as well.

You should calculate the Salaat times during your travel and every Salaat should be performed timeously. If there will be a few stop-overs and if the passengers are not required to be on board the plane, then you should perform the Salaat of that time in the transition lounge of the airport.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
