Considering how hard it was for RNJR to come across an airship on their trek across Anima, and that the only Airships we've seen have either been Mistralian Police Department ships and the one the Atlesian Pilot had, it may take them awhile just to find an airship. And if they can't, they may have to take a boat.

Personally, I am at least hoping Neptune will show up in the first few episodes, and maybe join the group. He's the only member of SSSN besides Sun himself they bothered giving character too, and even a little mini arc about not looking so cool with the Dance. And with the prominence they give him in Chibi, it's not like Kerry is unwilling to voice him, and he's still considered supporting cast on the level of the others. He isn't like Sage or Scarlet who barely have characters to them (And thats being generous to Sage, who has practically no character at all. He's more a prop.), they seemed to be making him into a supporting cast member, so I'd love to see him tag along!

.... Plus, I really want him to meet Marigold so this can happen in series. But I don't think Neptune would return if they're leaving Mistral. He doesn't seem like he's relevant to the major conflict. Sun only matters in his affiliation to Blake, and Blake still doesn't even know who Salem is (though she'll go because Team RWBY). Technically, Neptune has two affiliates among the group, Weiss and Jaune. He and Jaune both seemed to form a camaraderie after the dance, and he would probably wanna help him and Weiss out.

.... Plus he may be a little miffed if Sun decides to up and ditch his team again.

And Sun does matter outside in one aspect, but not Atlas wise. Vacuo. Just like Ren being from Anima helped out a bit on their trek, Sun originally living in Vacuo makes him an asset there.
