They'd either just sail from Limsa straight to Thavnair, or just take an airship from Eorzea and fly straight to the capitol, or at least as close as possible. A leisurely ride from Limsa to Kugane and then to Thavnair only makes sense if the Final Days haven't begun yet.
Do not forget that scions now have their own private airship.
