Traveling on a Fast Day

Question
BโShaโa Tova UโMutzlachat, I plan on flying to Israel in a few weeks. I just noticed that my flight falls out on December 22 - Asara BโTevet! What is the Halacha regarding fasting on an intercontinental flight - and across 7 time zones? Do I use New York time to determine how long I fast, and when the fast is over?
Answer
If you leave NY fasting โ you should do as follows: if you reach Israel at night โ you break your fast as you land, if you are on the plane when the fast finishes in NY โ you can eat then.
