#Ashkenazim hold that | #Ashkenazim hold that when one travels a distance of 8000 [[Amot]] from one city to another city, one recites Tefillat HaDerech only if there’s no city within 16,000 [[amot]] along the path one is traveling. If there’s a continuous line of cities along the way within 16,000 [[Amot]] from the city where one departed one should say Tefillat HaDerech without Hashem’s name in the Bracha. <Ref>Beiur Halacha 110:7 s.v. VeEin says that if there’s a city with 8000 [[Amot]] along the way one shouldn’t say Tefillat HaDerech. Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefillah]] 21:7) writes that one is only obligated in Tefillat HaDerech if one travels in an area that there’s no city for 16,000 [[Amot]]. He adds that we calculate the trip by distance and not time. [[Tefillah]] KeHilchata 27:26 rules that in order to make the Bracha at the conclusion it must be a trip the distance of 4.7 km (based on the Chazon Ish’s measure of the [[Amah]]). </ref> | ||

# Sephardim hold that if one travels in a car, train, boat, airplane or any other mode of transportation if one travels 72 minutes from one city to another city then one says Tefillat HaDerech. <Ref>Halacha Brurah 110:16 based on Sh”t Yabia Omer 1:13, 6:48(9) </ref> | # Sephardim hold that if one travels in a car, train, boat, airplane or any other mode of transportation if one travels 72 minutes from one city to another city then one says Tefillat HaDerech. <Ref>Halacha Brurah 110:16 based on Sh”t Yabia Omer 1:13, 6:48(9) </ref> | ||
