Hello. Can I use 529 funds to pay for study abroad airfare?

No, you may only use the 529 funds for expenses such as tuition, fees, book, supplies, equipment, room and board. See page 58 of IRS publication 970 for a full list of qualified education expenses here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf
