Selichot Before Midnight

I have a flight abroad on Saturday night, and I do not know whether there will be a minyan for Selichot on the plane or how it will be possible to say Selichot there. Is it preferable to say Selichot before midnight with a minyan, or to wait until the flight, even though I may have to say them alone?

In addition, a few days ago I sent a question regarding emotional therapy, but the answer was blocked on the site. I would very much appreciate it if the answer could be sent by email. Thank you very much.

Shalom u’vrachah 

Since the time for Selichot is after midnight, it is preferable to say them alone after midnight, rather than with a minyan before midnight.
