Travel
Once you reach level 15 you are able to travel overseas by visiting the Travel agency in the City Center. While traveling, you will have limited access to some Torn features if you own either an in-game laptop or pc. See Laptop section below. Each destination has a unique set of items that cannot be found in Torn City.
- Please note that items abroad have limited stocks which are restocked regularly, it is also hinted that there will be some items stocked irregularly in the future [1].
- Other players may see where you are traveling to on your profile page, unless you are in a 10* Theater, in which case your traveling status and location will be hidden.
- There is a variance of 3% on flight times, this explains small discrepancies in the flight times you might notice.
- A flight time can be extended by someone in a Detective Agency using the 'Watchlist' job special. The delay will increase the user's personal & faction stats for travel time.
- While a player is actively traveling (with the profile status of 'Traveling to/Returning from'), they cannot be attacked. Players in the same country can attack each other, unless the intended target's last action is greater than 168 hours[2], in which case they are "Hiding out" and do not appear on the 'People' list of that country. However, players who are "Hiding out" can be attacked if they are the intended target of a mission, in which case they will appear at the top of the 'People" list and highlighted in pink.
- There's a 15 second grace period in which players can't be attacked upon arriving at a destination.
- When a player is abroad they will be unable to access their inventory.
- Players who are hospitalized will have to wait out their hospital time or seek a revive.
- Players who work at 5* or above in Logistics Management are able to travel back to Torn even while hospitalized.
When travelling, the movement of Clouds can be toggled by clicking on a Cloud, and holding for approx 2 seconds.
Laptop
Note: Due to the sidebar being made available while traveling, there's no need to own a Laptop or a PC to access certain features.[3].

Historical Notes
With the travel update on 02/03/12, the names of several flight destinations were changed to different cities within the same country. This was presumably due to the new travel times they calculated to these locations [1]. The old city names and travel times may be seen in the history of this page [2].
With the same 02/03/12 update to travel, flight times with a property Airstrip were increased slightly from 2/3rds to 70% of Standard (in addition to the adjustments to Standard flight times to all destinations). Also, prior to the update the WLT benefit only gave the 50% reduction to flight time; there was no +10 item carrying bonus.
Prior to the 02/03/12 update, a Laptop had additional functions allowing you to also:
- check the Lowest Auction Bids for each Drug.
- check the Cheapest and Most Expensive Market Prices for each Drug.
- check the Lowest Auction Bids for each Item.
- check the Cheapest and Most Expensive Market Prices for each Item.
- You can still access the laptop whilst flying to start programming viruses by going to https://www.torn.com/pc.php (or by clicking the link in a previously programmed virus event).
16/04/13 Flight times have changed slightly, this was due to a repositioning of the physical location of Torn City in the world in preparation of a future update.
Previously, player images could not be viewed through laptop (though could have when logged off).
