Hi,
Today we begin a new, summer-appropriate set of laws: Laws related to travel.
'Techum' refers to the boundary beyond which one may not travel on Shabbat. The boundary is 2000 amot, about 1 kilometer, outside of the community where one starts Shabbat.
One who travels by airplane with enough time to arrive before Shabbat, and then arrives on Shabbat only due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, may disembark on Shabbat despite considerations of having passed beyond his techum, so long as he does not break any non-techum laws of Shabbat in disembarking. He may then travel up to 2000 amot in any direction, on foot, and if this brings him into a community then he may travel the entire area of that community.
(Aruch haShulchan Orach Chaim 248:14)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
