# Some poskim says that one who travels during a fast, should finish the fast according to his arrival destination, whether this makes it longer or shorter. <ref> Iggerot Moshe 3:96, [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=2183 Rabbi Eli Mansour in the names of Rav Moshe and Chacham Ovadia Yosef], Vilechitcha Baderech page 59:1.
