You're travelling to Afghanistan (AF). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Afghanistan: Level 4 — Do Not Travel (as of 2026-02-20). This is the State Department's highest advisory.

Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
