There are more, but I did this fairly quickly and can't remember everything at the moment. Before you say it, yes sometimes they showed them traveling, but it always served a separate narrative purpose. What was important with the travel scenes was not that they were traveling, but what was happening on the journey. When it hasn't served the plot to show a travel scene, they haven't shown one. The big difference between season 6 and previous seasons is that there were many (sometimes 4 or 5) independent story lines happening at the same time, so they could stretch the cuts out over multiple scenes or episodes to hide it better. The actual depiction of physical travel times and the passage of time hasn't changed though, you just notice it more now because the story is narrower. Just because the presentation isn't ideal, doesn't mean it is physically inaccurate though. Just because something isn't shown or said, doesn't mean it didn't happen in a logical and plausible way, and it doesn't do you or anyone any good to jump the conclusion that it must be wrong every time.
The recurring theme in all of these examples is they almost always show travelling (except Littlefinger but he often goes places on his own which makes it quicker, like how Cat caught up to Robert's party and arrived in KL shortly after them because it's just her and Rodrik on their own) and the other thing is there's always lots of stuff happening in other story arcs in between scenes. The problem in the more recent episodes is you've got certain characters doing masses of travelling without actually showing it (it's just "ta-da! here I am!" every time) while the others are seemingly just twiddling their thumbs, in the earlier seasons lots of stuff was going on alongside, so it gives more indication of passage of time.
