What to say on Hinge when she mentions going out of town

She's telling you a fact about her schedule. She might want you to know because she's interested enough to give you context for why she'll disappear. She could also be testing whether you're the type to get weird about her having other priorities. Very rarely is she hinting that you should scramble to see her before she leaves. Read it as information, not as a challenge or a rejection. The move is to treat it matter of factly, the way you'd treat any obstacle that isn't about the two of you.

You want exactly one sentence that proves you heard what she said and you won't be bitter about her schedule. Then you have two moves. Either ask something natural about the trip itself if there's an opening, or pivot to a specific time when you can actually hang out. Don't ask when she's back in a way that sounds needy. Mention what you'd want to do together or reference something she said earlier in the conversation that you could do when she has time. This tells her you're already thinking about her being available again, not just reacting to her being gone.

If she doesn't respond before she leaves, let her go. If she goes dark for the week and then comes back to the conversation later, that's fine. You don't text her during the trip saying 'have fun' or 'how's the trip going' unless she reaches out first and you're having an actual back and forth. The second she mentions she's leaving, your job is done. You replied well. Now you're quiet until she has bandwidth again or until she responds to what you said. Sending check-ins during her trip makes you feel present in her life in a way that actually works against you.
