For things you might do multiple times until you unlock some progression in transportation they should be under double digit minutes, like how you ride a boat in WoW maybe a handful of times for 1 to 5 minutes, and if they're one offs and especially meant to be epic journeys... why not?

Of course the time spent waiting is gameplay in and of itself, so there should be things to do / think about. Not just 10 to 20 minute loading screen, but I'm sure you didn't mean that.. just stating the obvious for people who don't find it obvious.

For a long time 'movement' has been gameplay to me, and should be treated as such, but besides a very few specific games hasn't really been seen until more recently where it's now been more recognized across the genres.

Besides, if I had to wait 15-20 minutes to travel somewhere, I'd just be talking to friends on discord or doing something else/YouTube. At this stage I honestly have no intention of chatting with randoms, and if it's mandatory for getting somewhere story related, you'd always have trolls intentionally spoiling things.
