Public Transport?

Just curious, were airship and boat rides in FFXI instanced? Or did we really fly/sail across the world? Because while playing the game, I often saw airships fly in the distance. Wondering if there were actual players on board.

They really sailed across the sky, stuck to exact timetables and the like. If you missed it well, go make a snack because it's gonna be another 15min

They were instanced, but they also made an airship/ferry in the zones at the same time. So essentially, there weren't real people on them, but it was synchronised perfectly with the zones.

I miss them too, I'd like them to bring them back. I hope if we go to another continent with an expansion, we actually have to travel. That first boat ride from Mhaura to Whitegate made Whitegate feel really far away.
