Travelling by land is the most common means of transportation in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. Although there are tons of cars—starting from basic commuters to super cars—to choose from, it is still not the most efficient way of getting around the enormous state of San Andreas. If you need to get from one side of the map to the other the quickest way possible, there are three ways you can travel fast in GTA 5 Online.

Steps

Travelling by Airplane

Find an airplane. Just like helicopters, airplanes can be found only on specific locations on San Andreas. You can only get airplanes from airports and military bases.

Board the airplane. Approach an airplane you see on the locations mentioned above and press the triangle (for PS4) or the Y button (for Xbox 360) on your controller to get in.

Take off. After getting on the airplane, press and hold the R2 (for PS4) or the Right Trigger button (for Xbox 360) to accelerate. Once you’ve gained enough speed, the plane should automatically take off.

Go to where you need to go. Once you’ve reached your desired altitude, use the arrow keys to move around the sky and fly to where you need to go.

Land. To land, press and hold the L2 (for PS4) or the Left Trigger button (for Xbox 360) to slowly decelerate. This will lower your altitude. As you come closer to the ground, use the directional keys to properly maneuver your plane to your desired landing spot.

Travelling by Helicopter

Find a helicopter. Helicopters are the second fastest way to get around the game. Helicopters can be found on GTA Online only in specific areas: Police station roofs Hospital roofs Airports

Board the helicopter. Approach a helicopter at the locations mentioned above and press the triangle (for PS4) or the Y button (for Xbox 360) on your controller to get in.

Take off. After getting in the helicopter, press and hold the R2 (for PS4) or the Right Trigger button (for Xbox 360) on the top of the controller to take off. Keep pressing this button until you reach your desired height.

Go to where you need to go. Once you’ve reached your desired altitude, use the arrow keys to move around the sky and fly to where you need to go.

Land. Once you’ve reached your destination, press and hold the L2 (for PS4) or the Left Trigger button (for Xbox 360) to slowly descend. Use the left analog stick while the helicopter is descending to help you steer to your desired landing spot.

Travelling by Boat

Find a boat. The entire state of San Andreas is an island; this means that you get around the island just by using the water. To find a boat, simply head to one of the docks that can be found all around the edge of San Andreas.

Board a boat. Approach a boat you see on the docks and press the triangle (for PS4) or the Y button (for Xbox 360) on your controller to get in.

Go to where you need to go. Operating a boat is pretty much like driving a car: go forward, backward, left, or right using the arrow keys on your game controller. Boats can take you fairly quickly to where you need to go without having to drive through all the traffic in the city.
