Personally, I like to rp airships as cost prohibitive, and crystal travel as being bad for your health (aether sickness and ur body breaking down kind of thing) i'd love to see travel between towns actual mean something, and make the world feel like a bigger place.
I am very careful about how I handle travel in roleplay. My main character doesn't know how to use aetherytes, so when she's traveling somewhere, it's going to take time, and I will actually take that time. Quests in game describe airships as limited to only high-priority individuals and shipments, so those are out of the question for me.

It's not just the community that considers aethernet travel canon - it's lore within the game itself. However, only people with sufficient control over their aether (and probably sufficient base aether levels) can make use of aetherytes.
