Question on traditional that I never seemed to understand.

Just how long does it take to go from X to Y when you're not an aether rich NPC? Airships seem to be the fastest, so the travel from say Ul'dah to Limsa would be how long? Then there's even slower routes like Kugane to the Steppe. I'm always imagining less than magical npcs sitting on a boat, being heckled by Confederates, hoofing it through the forest, through the mountains, and finally Steppes.

We've seen usage of flying mounts like the Yol and falcons, but I don't think Lolorito or every day merchants are transporting themselves or their goods on birbs outside an old fashioned Chocobo.
