- There's a 15 second grace period in which players can't be attacked upon arriving at a destination.
- 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.

In addition to the above, you can use bloodbags, ghost trades, and your faction vault to safely store your money between flights.
