Restock Timing: UK Xanax Walkthrough
Time the restock to land on a full stock, using the planner's stock features
A hands-on strategy guide
Subscriber playbookMost of the handbook explains how travel works. This page is different. It is a step-by-step playbook for putting a TornTravel subscription to work: using the planner's live stock and restock predictions to time abroad restocks, land on a full stock, and make maximum profit.
What this guide is
As of writing, Xanax in the United Kingdom is one of the most profitable trips in the game, and one of the most competitive. Stock sells out within seconds of a restock, so it all comes down to landing at the right moment: a minute or two after the shop refills, while it is still full.
This walkthrough shows you how to time that landing using the planner's stock features.
Not just for Xanax
As of writing, UK Xanax is the hardest run to time: the most contested item with the tightest window. Get it right and easier runs feel forgiving. The same method works for any high-demand item abroad. Just swap the destination and item. It's even easier for less competitive items.
No guarantees
Nothing here is guaranteed. Flight times vary, and other players are chasing the same stock. These steps improve your odds; they do not remove the risk.
The method at a glance
The whole run in four moves. The rest of the page explains each one.
- 1Watch UK Xanax stock hit 0. This starts the roughly 2 hour restock clock (subject to change in the future).
- 2In the planner (Now mode), enable Respect abroad stock and set the Stock window to -1 or -2.
- 3Fly, then re-check your real landing time against the restock.
- 4Land 1-2 minutes after the restock, buy within 15 seconds, and fly home.
Why it works
The method makes sense once you know why it works. This guide assumes an Airstrip (Private Island) setup, which puts the UK at roughly 01:51 hrs each way.
Flight time varies ±3%
Your real flight time swings up to 3% either side of the estimate. A 01:51 hr UK flight can land anywhere from about 1h 48m to 1h 55m. You only see the true duration once you board.
Restock duration is longer than the flight
The gap between a shop hitting 0 stock and its next restock is roughly 2 hours, longer than the flight itself. That headroom is what lets you take off after stock empties and still arrive as it refills. This is also what makes it competitive. Also, restock timing is not fixed.
Predictions are most accurate inside the restock window
The planner's leave-by and arrival times are most reliable when you plan from inside the restock window, after the latest sell-out and before the next restock. Plan inside that 2 hour window for the best results.
Before you fly
What you need
- An active subscription. The planner's stock predictions (used below) require one.
- Enough cash on hand for a full load of Xanax.
- A way to watch stock empty in real time. The planner has a built-in Live Stock view with restock predictions; trackers like YATA or Prometheus work too.
Don't waste energy & nerve
Unless you are stacking energy, spend your energy and nerve before you leave so none is wasted in the air.
The run, step by step
- 1Catch the sell-out. Watch UK Xanax stock in Live Stock (or your tracker) and note when it hits 0. This starts the roughly 2 hour restock countdown and puts you inside the restock window, where predictions are most accurate.
- 2Set up the planner. In Now mode, tick Respect abroad stock and set the Stock window to -1 or -2 minutes. A negative window tells the planner to land after the predicted restock, timing your arrival for 1-2 minutes past the refill: full stock, minimal waiting.
- 3Board the flight. Grab your cash and take off. Plan to be in and out abroad in 15 seconds or less to stay inside the landing grace period.
- 4Read your real flight time. Your travel log shows the actual duration, e.g. "You boarded a 1h 55m personal flight to United Kingdom". Refresh the planner and it recalculates your landing time against the restock.
- 5Be online for the landing. Set a landing alarm so you are at the keyboard when you touch down. Your 15-second immunity is all that protects you from a mug on arrival.
- 6Buy and leave. Land, fill up on Xanax, and fly home inside the grace window. Sell back in Torn for profit.
Reading the plan after you take off
Thanks to the ±3% flight-time variance, you will land early, on time, or late versus the estimate. Refresh the planner to see which.
How to read these graphs
The blue line is predicted stock over time: it spikes at a restock then decays back to zero, often steeply for popular items. The grey dashed line is now (when you plan); the blue line is when you would land. The landing dot is green for a full stock, yellow for low, and red for empty.
Reminder: these are predictions! The graphs below use made-up numbers, and even the real ones are estimates: the planner gets as close as it can, but a restock can still come early or late. Read them as a strong forecast, not a guarantee.
On time (±1 min)
You land just after the restock, high on the ramp with comfortably more than ~1,500 stock predicted. This is the target. If you planned inside the restock window and the 2 hour duration held, there should be plenty of Xanax waiting.
Arriving early
Your landing falls before the restock spike, so the shop is still empty. With Respect abroad stock on, the planner may look like it picked the wrong item: it quietly switches to the next best one because you no longer fit the window. That is expected. Temporarily untick Respect abroad stock to see how many minutes early you are, then choose: wait for the restock and risk a mug, or grab the best available flushie (a flower or plushie) and fly home.
Arriving late
You land far down the decay ramp, so you are at the mercy of how fast stock sold off. There may still be Xanax, there may not. The later you are, the worse your odds.
When you land with empty stock
If stock is 0 when you arrive, you have two choices. Neither is always right; it depends on whether you want to risk the mug.
Lower risk: grab and go
Buy the best-profit item (probably flower or plushie) available within your 15 seconds and fly straight back, then work out what threw the timing off. This is the safe default most runners use. (The planner will automatically suggest the best item to buy)
Higher risk: wait it out
Only if you arrived early, stay abroad and wait for the restock. You lose grace-period protection while waiting, so you are exposed to mugging the whole time.
Grace period discipline
Abroad or back in Torn, treat the 15-second window as your whole margin. Be ready to buy and fly, and on the return either ghost trade or deposit straight to your faction vault before it expires.

UK Xanax was one of the most profitable runs when this was written (mid-2026). Profitability shifts over time, so always check current prices before committing.
