Question
I am about to take a long flight that goes from night into day. It is very hard for me to concentrate on the Shacharit morning prayer on the plane with tefillin and a tallit.
Is it permitted to recite the entire Shacharit prayer while seated, without tefillin and without a tallit, and then, when we land (after the time for reciting Shema), put on only the tefillin?
And what is the halacha regarding wrapping in a tallit for someone who has the practice not to recite a blessing on tzitzit in the morning, because he relies on the blessing over the tallit in which he later wraps himself?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
If possible, you should put on tefillin and tallit before the prayer and recite Kriat Shema.
If it is not possible to do so, then in a case of necessity you may put them on after the prayer.
