Yea but, they’re airbenders, they fly everywhere already. Its also pretty easy to argue at the very least that the planet is much smaller, in atla the gang was flying all over the place, in korra flying basically anywhere takes less than a day, and even by boat republic city to the south pole is only like, a nights boat ride.

Would you like to spend 12+hours on a bison with 4 children under the age of 12? There is a reason the show was mostly set when they landed somewhere. The time flying was probably very boring.

Yeah, but all the things that happen except the occasional fight (which while entertaining for a viewer is unlikely to be desirable for those involved) happen when they stop somewhere.

If you wanna watch the world from above for hours, sit and watch the Netflix screensaver
