I hate it when I see the airship leave because I was seconds late after paying for my fare. I'd be happy to get rid of the problem by questing an airship pass that allows me to be escorted onto the airship after I pay my fare and the ship is sitting at the dock.

I vote for this idea, someone needs to seriously take a note here in SE.
I'm tired of having the same issue. FIX THIS SE!!

I agree that the airship system could be revised.
One problem is that the journey itself is very lengthy. This forces players to use multiple teleportation NPCs to get where they're going faster.
One solution could be to just speed up the animation of the airships.
The biggest problem is that you have to wait a long time for the next ship to come.
I think the solution is to have more ships.

Agreed,
More than one ship flying from one location to the other. Even having 2 would be cool; imagine seeing another airship fly by 1/2 way through. Toss a /slap <player> across the sky too!

But if you're very important, why would you show up late?!?!

Really? VIPs don't wait on things. Things wait on them.

It depends really. Anything worth being a VIP to anyways lol isn't going to wait.
For example, VIP lounge at a sporting event. Everyone out in the bleachers, you get a nice cozy air conditioned room and watch through the glass. you're very important you get this nice room w/ food and air conditioning, but they don't wait for you to start the game!

Special treatment was what I was aiming for when I called this suggestion "VIP Airship Pass." Instead of running to the dock, we just get put on the airship.

I personally like the idea of simply increasing the amounts of ships.
The flights only take five minutes a piece to get to your destination, so that's fine and all, but the 11 minute wait between ships as they ferry in and out of Jeuno is kindof rough.
So double the ships! 5 minute wait time for each ship, 5 minute travel. Doesn't sound too shabby to me. Afterall don't they have a bunch sitting around while someone isn't doing the CoP missions? xD
But let's also add a dock to get to Aht Urghan by airship! That wait for the ship is brutal, and the trip is sooooooooo long and infested by Proteus the devourer of tiny white mages.

That's why they gave us warps to Whitegate at every city. So we only have to take that darn ferry maybe once or twice in a lifetime.
I think I would actually like 2 airships going back and forth more than my own idea.

I'd miss the music and scenery. And honestly some times it's nice to have five minutes to cool down.

You know we could also just change this idea around. Instead of a VIP pass create a private port in Jeuno that's empty at all times.
Then charge players 500 million gil to buy a personal airship. :3 Honestly. Quick cut scene, get your butt on, go where you need to go. :0 And then watch it get repo'd when you default on your home payments and your moogle get's reclaimed.

Stupid warp Taru needs to allow us to teleportto ALL nations not just your home nation and tab cost for warping to home nation istoo expensive for what you are getting.

Yea if u get ur Synergy ta 30+ u can make ur own earrings for teleporting ta each city in the game,its easy ta do an all u need is ta get the waystone from that city.Literally every city in the game,no joke.

Could do it like XIV does for the ferry. Once you are inside everything is automated so that you are placed on the airship when it departs no matter where you are as long as you have completed payment prior to departure.

This is one the most annoying things about the game. The ships time is like 10 minutes for arrival at max time, and this is just wayyy toooo long. I understand its more realistic and blah blah, but the time can really be cut in half, and it should just intant load u to the destination upon leaving, theres no need to fly for 6 minutes. Almost all MMO's practice this, as soon as it departs, it takes maybe 30 seconds and a loading screen comes and your at the destination and it will come back 3 minutes later.

Or they could just make WHM Reparation (SP?) spells. One for each of the main three nations.

If it wasn't for Flee, i'd miss a lot more Airships.
