Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get Business Class Tickets?
BCTs can be obtained through: city finds (random chance while working), casino wheel prizes, special events, and purchasing from the Item Market (typically around $5.5M). Lingerie Store 10★ employees get free Business Class flights (15 capacity, 70% faster) without needing to consume BCT items.
Do suitcases stack?
No, suitcases do NOT stack. Only the largest suitcase you own applies. If you have a Large Suitcase (+4), buying a Small or Medium suitcase won't increase your capacity further. Always aim for the Large Suitcase from Hawaii.
When is Tourism Day?
Tourism Day is a special event that occurs periodically in Torn, generally between 26 and 28 September. During Tourism Day, your total carrying capacity is doubled. Check the Torn forums and event calendar for upcoming Tourism Day announcements.
What happens if I'm hospitalized abroad?
If you're hospitalized while abroad, you cannot fly home until healed or revived. Plan accordingly and avoid risky situations while traveling! A 5★ Logistics Management job special allows you to travel back while hospitalized.
How does the Excursion faction special work?
Faction upgrades have various trees. One of those is the Excursion tree, which increases the travel capacity by +1 for each level, up to +10 items. There are also other upgrade branches that reduce travel fees, increase hunting income, reduce rehab costs, and increase Cayman Islands bank interest.
Can I be attacked while traveling?
No, you cannot be attacked while in the air. You can be attacked when abroad. You have a 15-second grace period both when landing abroad and when coming back to Torn before others can attack you, use that wisely.
What's the best company for travelers?
The Lingerie Store is widely considered the best for frequent travelers. The 10★ 'Sex Appeal' special provides free Business Class travel on every flight, decreasing travel time drastically, increasing profit per hour. The Cruise Line is also good for capacity stacking with +5 items at 10★.
How do I maximize my carrying capacity?
Stack all available bonuses: Airstrip/Private/Business (15 base capacity), Large Suitcase (+4), Excursion faction (+10), 'Smuggling For Beginners' book (+10), and job specials. On Tourism Day, this total is doubled!
Why do flight times vary?
Flight times have a ±3% variance from the base time. This is intentional game design. Also, Detective Agency services can add delays to your return flight if someone is tracking you.
