What tubing do people use for their ants to travel around in when expanding? Is it general aquarium air line tubing or something else?
Thank you

Yes, the fish air line is used but it can also come in different sizes, so no smaller than the Ant World airline. The bigger one for the larger species, but you also need to think about ants dragging their prey through as well, so they need space. Don't buy the silicone soft type line now seen in fish shops. it's not suitable.
If you manage to find any red line, that works even better, but we have only ever had it supplied with kits.

Hello,
Just an update. I got some tubing from my local tropical fish shop, it's the exact same stuff that came with the ant kit just in case anyone can't find any try your local tropical fish/ marine shop too :-)
