The Paldea region is massive in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and you'll have quite a bit of ground to cover. Luckily, Game Freak has added in a really easy and quick way to Fast Travel around the region, and you'll have plenty of places to jump to whenever you want to go exploring.
How to Fast Travel in 'Pokemon Scarlet and Violet'
The Fast Travel system in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is very similar to those seen in other games. Basically, you'll be able to use a flying taxi service that allows you to quickly revisit several key areas that you've already come across during the game.
This is exceptionally useful for going back to catch Pokemon like Tarountula if you missed it, or also for hunting down version-exclusive Pokemon in areas you might not have fully explored before.
Key areas you can fast travel to include any PokeCenter that you've visited, as well as main town locations like your home at Cabo Poco and the Poco Path Lighthouse that you visit on your way to the academy.
There are, of course, other major places that you'll be able to quickly visit, too, which is why Fast Travel is such a handy way to get from place to place, especially if you're in a hurry.
There are always other ways you can get around the world. For example, each game offers a Legendary Pokemon that comes with special forms that you can use to fly, swim, and run around the Paldea region. As such, getting around the region is extremely simple, even if you aren't using the Fast Travel system.
Being able to Fast Travel in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is extremely vital for anyone who is planning to go hunting for rare Pokemon like Shinies. It's also handy for those who plan to go their own route through the main story, as you may find yourself wanting to jump around the game world quite a bit throughout.

You also won't have to do anything special to unlock the various Fast Travel points around the world. Instead, all you have to do is simply visit the location and it will then appear with a wing next to it on your map when you look at it. Any location with a wing can be traveled to using the game's Fast Travel flying taxi service.
With such a huge PokeDex to fill, players will no doubt find the Fast Travel system in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet extremely helpful during their adventure.
