Paldea is an expansive world in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. You'll gain several moves to navigate around as you progress and defeat Titan Pokémon. Thankfully, one ability is granted to you immediately after leaving the Academy on your treasure hunt: the ability to fly. Flying allows you to fast travel to points on the map that you have visited before.
How to Fly and Fast Travel in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
After choosing a gate to exit from Mesagoza, you'll notice a blue circle icon on your map that appears nearby the gate. The icon will have a white wing inside of it. This icon designates a fast travel point that you can select by scrolling your magnifying glass cursor over the icon and pressing A. You can then select Fly Here from the drop down menu to travel to that point.
Most fast travel points will be Pokémon centers that you have visited. A white wing will indicate those fast travel points with a blue outline in the bottom right corner of the Pokémon Center icon. Remember, you must have traveled nearby the location on foot at least once before you can use fast travel flying to return to a location.
