Travel and Abroad Flying
Unlock flights at 15, flight methods, carry capacity (airstrip 10→15, suitcases, Excursion), one shopping-run workflow, plus Tourism Day appendix.
By Weav3r
Flight times, capacity rules, shops, and combat/travel restrictions follow the Torn wiki Travel page. Stock and profit numbers belong on Travel Stock - they change constantly.
Overview
At level 15 you fly from the Travel Agency to foreign shops, fill carry capacity, and bring stock home. Selling the haul (trader, bazaar, item market, museum sets) is the handoff to How to trade and Points and museum.
Covered here: unlock, methods, capacity, and one shopping-run loop. Live stock and profit math live on Travel Stock.
Live stock is elsewhere
Each destination stocks its own items on its own schedule. For what is in stock right now, use Travel Stock. Static item lists: country wiki pages linked from Travel.
Unlock flights at 15
Rushing 15: Leveling. Once open, each destination sells a unique set of items you cannot get the same way in Torn City.
- Others can see where you are traveling on your profile, unless you work in a 10★ Theater (hides traveling status and location).
- Flight times have about a 3% variance; small differences from the table below are normal.
- While Traveling to / Returning from, you cannot be attacked. Players already in the same country can attack each other (wiki "Hiding out" exceptions for long inactivity).
- 15 second grace on arrival. Hospitalized players normally cannot fly home until the timer ends or they get a revive (5★+ Logistics Management can travel back while hospitalized).
Weapons and armor on flights (current rule)
As of 23 June 2026, weapons and armor are not taken with you on flights departing Torn (you do not need to unequip; they stay behind). You can still buy and equip weapons/armor abroad, but you will not have access to your ammunition for now. Staff intend to reintroduce traveling with weapons/armor later. Source: Travel wiki.
Choose a flight method
- Standard - default paid flight from the Travel Agency; base carry 10.
- Airstrip + pilot - property upgrade (Properties); ~30% faster, free flights, base carry 10 → 15.
- WLT benefit - flights always free, show as Private; same shorter-time / 15 base carry tier as airstrip/business.
- Business Class - uses 1× Business Class Ticket per flight, unless you work in a 10★ Lingerie Store (always free, no ticket). Same 15 base carry tier.
- Book: Mailing Yourself Abroad - for 31 days, travel time decreased by an additional 25% (on top of your method).

Raise carry capacity
Default carry is 10 items per visit. Airstrip + pilot, WLT, or Business Class sets that base to 15. Extra bonuses then stack on top:
- Suitcases (Hawaii, or market / bazaars / trades) - only the largest you own counts; they do not stack: Small +1, Medium +2, Large +3.
- 3★ Lingerie Store job special: +2 items.
- Cruise Line Agency job specials: 3★ +2 and 10★ +3; those stack (+5 with both).
- Excursion faction special: +1 item per upgrade, maximum +10.
- Book: Smuggling For Beginners: +10 items for 31 days.
- 7★ Flower Shop: +5 flowers only. 7★ Toy Shop: +5 plushies only.
Abroad shops split into General Store (souvenirs, flowers, plushies), Arms Dealer, and Black Market. Stock is limited. While flying or abroad, travel inventory lets you consume, equip, send (same country), trash, or sell back to shops (max 100 sales of a particular item back per trip).

Live stock changes - check Travel Stock
Math: capacity × profit/item × flights. Game carry starts at 10 (airstrip/WLT/business set base to 15). Tourism Day can double capacity past this slider max - use Travel Stock for live margins.
Uses the capacity, method time, and profit/item you enter. Pair with Travel Stock for live profit/item.
Run one shopping trip
- Check Travel Stock: filter countries / item types, prefer in-stock, set your flight method so profit-per-hour uses the right times.
- Confirm cash for ticket + purchases, and that your carry cap fits the plan.
- Fly from the Travel Agency. While airborne you are attack-immune.
- On landing, you have 15 seconds of grace. Buy what you came for inside that window..
- Fill travel inventory up to your cap, fly home. Try to do this within that 15 second window
- Sell to traders / IM / bazaar, or museum-exchange complete sets once History bachelor is done. Stash or self-hospitalize if wallet cash will sit.
Switzerland is also where you rehab at the clinic; shop General/Black Market on the same trip. See Rehab.
Appendix: Tourism Day and max capacity
Tourism Day (27 September) doubles carrying capacity. Flower/Toy shop +5 bonuses are not doubled. Wiki maximum listed: 43 items, or 86 on Tourism Day with Cruise Line 10★ path + Smuggling For Beginners.
Example totals (each row already assumes airstrip/WLT/business 15 base + max Excursion +10 + large suitcase +3 = 28, then adds book/company):
| Extras on top of that 28 | Total | Tourism Day |
|---|---|---|
| Smuggling book + Cruise 3★&10★ (+10 +5) | 43 | 86 |
| Smuggling book + Flower/Toy shop +5 | 43 | 81 |
| Smuggling book only (+10) | 38 | 76 |
| Cruise 3★&10★ only (+5) | 33 | 66 |
| Flower Shop or Toy Shop +5 only | 33 | 61 |
| Lingerie 3★ or Cruise 3★ only (+2) | 30 | 60 |
| No book / no company extras | 28 | 56 |

Frequently asked questions
When does Torn travel unlock?
Level 15. Fly from the Travel Agency in the City Center to foreign shops.
What does an airstrip do for travel?
With a hired pilot, airstrip sets base carry from 10 to 15 items, cuts flight time by about 30%, and makes those flights free. WLT and Business Class use the same 15-item base tier.
