For Blackwing Descent, wouldn't flying from Twilight Highlands be faster than from Blasted Lands for Horde?
Anshlun....You are forgeting about monks again. Monks can use Zen Pilgrimage to Temple of Five Dawns and then use the portal behind Number Eight Aiko to portal to Peak of Serentiy. From there fly down to Vale
Thrallmar Mage Doesn't Work!
Druids can also use One with Nature and hope for the best.
Vulpera characters also have the convenience of using their racial to set a pseudo-hearth at one of these new quest HUBs.
For Blackwing Descent as Horde you can also use the Deadmines Pet Battle Port in Dalaran or the Main City.
Don't forget the Stranglethorn Vale zeppelin in Org. It's only a bit further away than Karazhan, but it also has a flight path that can take you right up next to Blackrock!
Horde players can also use the Gnomeregan pet battle dungeon teleport to get close to Blackwing Descent.
i used portal to portal of time which brings ya in mid gadgeztan and flew right to da King xD
Direbrew's Remote is the only reason now I keep doing Brewfest Dungeon on newer alts. That teleport is very handy for a lot of reasons. You also forgot to mention the 'teleport' we unlock after doing the first quest to the new the Blackrock Battle Pet Dungeon. With it, ANY character in the account with access to Boralus/Dazar'alor or Legion's Dalaran will have a shorter CD access to BRMountain, than the remote above. Speaking of Battle Pet Dungeons, I hope next one will be in Kalimdor, there are currently 5, 4 in the Eastern Kingdoms. Come on Blizz, those maps already had more 'easier' access than Kalimdor western areas, especially on the mid-north. Maraudon would be a great addition.
I used my Pet Battle teleport to Deadmines and flew to Blackrock Mountain.
Now if we'd only have a portal directly to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms instead of Jade Forest ... wouldn't that be great?
Thrallmar Mage only works for characters who have not done the TBC intro questline. This needs to be added every time whoever writes these articles brings it up.
I know Blackwing Descent is more important for Horde as far as travel goes, however there is an even faster way for Alliance to travel. Use port to Ironforge then fly to Iron Summit, it's not only shorter but a direct flightpath aswell.
Magni should get a flight point for his base in Silithus, just to make travel to Uldum simpler. Chaining portals isn't very fun, or well designed. Especially since we have to fly across our city halfway through (remember when they were going to put all the portals in one place, but didn't do the cata portals. good times).And as far as alliance going to BWD, you can see the mountain from Stormwind, just aim for the right hand side about halfway up.
