For further insight, a Lalafell NPC in Horizon (next to a sleeping Chocobo) says the trip from Gridania, on chocobo, nonstop, took a day.
That seems really, incredibly, unbelievably short. Like, impossibly so. Horizon is way the fuck away from Gridania. >_> I'm more inclined to think Squeenix is just really freaking bad at distance.
The Hipparion tribe has been RPing that it takes 2ish days to get from the Forgotten Springs to Ul'dah, accounting for the unknown length of the Red Labyrinth and crossing the northern half of Southern Thanalan. More if more frequent stops are taken, of course.
In RP back in the betas, I had it take a week to get from Gridania back to Limsa Lominsa.
Keep in mind that not only are the zones significantly larger than they appear in game (if they weren't, it would make no sense), but also that most of the zones don't even line up border-for-border. Often when you pass into another zone, you're quite obviously skipping a pretty large chunk of area.
