Dude, I have been praying for this since Blizzard changed the flightpath system before. (back in MY day we had to fly one stop at a time, no connecting flight paths)
Flightpath stop – This has idea has already likely been suggested but it would be really nice if you could hit a button and on extended flights you could stop at the next flightpath on the way. We’ve debated this for some time. It’s still a possibility. (src)
You can already stop connected flight paths early by logging out. When you log back in the game has no memory of where you were heading past the current flight path.
sometimes that works other times it doesn’t. you have to be logged out for a while for it to work, but still that’s a little bit more of a hassle than just having maybe the option to right click on your own portrait and click “stop flight” or something
Yeah having a way to do it in game would be far better, just letting people that might not know that trick. Its never failed me, but I cant say ive used it any time recently.. No doubt this will change when they take our flying mounts off us for a few levels tho.
