Hold your phone flat with the top pointing north, then turn to face the Ka‘bah marker.
No compass? At these times the sun lines up with the Qibla.
Enter your route and departure time. Safar Salah follows the aircraft minute by minute along its great-circle path and tells you when each prayer begins, in every time zone you care about, and which prayers you can combine. On the ground, the Qibla compass beeps when you face Makkah.
إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا “Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers at specified times.” (An-Nisa 4:103)
Follow the plane live from takeoff to landing. Gold dots mark where each prayer time begins; tap one, or drag the slider, to preview that moment. Dark areas on the map are night.
In the air, face the front of the plane (the cockpit) and pray in your seat if you can't stand. Actual routes bend around weather and airspace, so check the cabin's moving map for your real position when the time comes.
As a traveller you can shorten Dhuhr, Asr and Isha to 2 rakaat and combine Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha. Fajr can't be combined. Boarding is assumed to close 30 minutes before departure, and you're assumed to be off the plane 30 minutes after landing.

Turn on Prayer notifications at the top of the page to be notified when each prayer time starts on this flight, and 20 minutes before a window closes.
The sun's position is recalculated every minute from the aircraft's estimated position, so a Maghrib that chases you westward shows up where it really happens.
On the ground, the compass opens as soon as you switch modes and beeps and vibrates when your phone points to the Ka‘bah.
From 11 km up the horizon sits about 3° lower, so the sun sets later than on the ground. Turn the adjustment on or off in settings.
Muslim World League, ISNA, Egypt, Umm al-Qura, Karachi and JAKIM, with Standard or Hanafi Asr.
Every prayer shows the time at your origin, at your destination and in UTC, so it matches your watch, your phone and the crew's schedule.
See which prayer window is open when you board, and which prayer is next once you land, in local time at the airport.
A great-circle path is traced between the two airports, the shortest route over the globe.
The aircraft's position is estimated for every minute, with a climb and descent at each end.
At each point the sun's altitude and hour angle are computed and compared with the method's angles.
When the sun crosses a threshold, that moment becomes a prayer time, with position, heading and Qibla.
| Method | Fajr angle | Isha | Used widely in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muslim World League | 18° | 17° | Europe, Far East, parts of the US |
| ISNA | 15° | 15° | North America |
| Egyptian General Authority | 19.5° | 17.5° | Africa, Syria, Lebanon |
| Umm al-Qura, Makkah | 18.5° | 90 min after Maghrib | Arabian Peninsula |
| Univ. of Islamic Sciences, Karachi | 18° | 18° | Pakistan, Bangladesh, India |
| JAKIM | 20° | 18° | Malaysia |
Prayer times follow the sun where you are. On a plane that means the sun as seen from the aircraft's position, which is what this timeline shows. Your watch and the destination clock are listed so you can match the moment to a time you can read.
Most scholars allow seated prayer on a plane when standing, bowing or prostrating is not possible, facing the Qibla as best you can at the start. Ask your local scholar for the ruling you follow.
Travellers are widely permitted to shorten four-rak‘ah prayers (qasr) and, in many schools, to combine Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha (jam‘). The conditions differ between schools, so check the ruling that applies to you.
Two reasons. Flying west, you chase the sun. And from cruise altitude the horizon is lower, so the sun stays visible a few minutes longer. The altitude adjustment in settings accounts for the second effect.
Only prayers that begin between takeoff and landing are listed. On far-northern routes in summer the sun may never sink low enough for Fajr or Isha, so those times do not occur along the route; follow the guidance for high latitudes in your school.
On a plane in airplane mode, no server can reach your phone, so notifications arrive once you connect to Wi-Fi. For flights, the jama' planner stays your main tool: check it before boarding so you know what to pray, where and when. If Safar Salah is open on your phone during the flight, it can still alert you at each prayer time without internet.
Treat them as good estimates. The route assumes a direct great-circle path and steady speed; real flights take detours and wait in holding patterns. A few minutes' margin before the end of a prayer window is sensible.
It's free and takes 20 seconds. Safar Salah then opens like a normal app, with its own icon and full screen, works offline on the plane and can send prayer notifications.

Safar Salah is a web app, so there is nothing to download from the Play Store or App Store and it updates itself. Open it once with internet before a flight so it works offline in the air.
The phone app adds adhan alerts that work in airplane mode, saved trips and more. Join the list and we'll email you on launch day. Early members can help test it before anyone else.
Safar Salah has no ads today. If it helped you pray on time on a journey, a small contribution keeps it running and improving.
