* ''[[Invader Zim]]'' is a weird example: in the first episode, it takes Zim six months to travel from Conventia to Earth, but later episodes show him traveling to Irken or other planets in what one presumes is a relatively short time (Dib mentions Zim had been gone "three days" when he went to Foodcourtia). [[Wild Mass Guessing|Perhaps the tallest put him on a cheap flight?]] |

* ''[[Futurama]]'' does this a lot, primarily out of [[Rule of Funny|sheer comedic value]]. Not only does the Planet Express ship routinely make deliveries to distant planets as a matter of normal business, not only are there highway-like lines of other space ships waiting to travel similar distances, not only has the crew rocketed off to the edge of the universe and come right back to earth in a matter of a week, but Cubert and Dwight have once ''delivered newspapers'' to homes in a ''nearby asteroid belt'' (supposedly not our solar system's) using what amounts to a ''do-it-yourself bicycle-powered rocket''. |

* In ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' (and other members of the "Aligned" continuity family, like ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 TV series)]]''), the groundbridge/spacebridge technology makes travel between Earth and Cybertron easy. Suitably-built spacecraft can also make the journey without difficulty. |
