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.

Dude…airbenders are nomads, they DO spend 12+ hours on a bison with 4 children, thats the WHOLE PREMISE of being a nomad

Technically they kept the children at the temples for the most part
