To be fair, the original cartoon was also guilty of travel continuity errors like that. Taking weeks/months to travel to some spots, then later on traveling the same distance and back in one night.

I don't think anything took weeks in the original. The whole show was like 9 months total, and that includes the explicit time skips like Northern Tribe training and several in S3. They traveled in days usually.

But yeah I guess the timeline was pretty ambiguous. The key thing though is they always used Appa to go far distances. It was clear that Aang's glider was far slower with shorter range. Sometimes Appa could teleport but that's ok, since it's clear that Appa is the way they traveled far (and made his absence way more impactful). If Aang can just fly across a huge ocean to Roku's temple, why should he care if he loses Appa?
