In the past year or so on TA we have been to London, Watford, Cheltenham, Whitby, halfway to Prudhoe, a cottage in Dorset, Paris, New York and Leeds and possibly elsewhere that I've forgotten.
It seems to me that all this exotic travel is a fairly recent phenomenon. In my memory of TA gone by, anything that took place beyond the by-pass, happened off air. Characters went on holidays and trips (don't remember a lot of treats and pampering being reported though) but the listener never accompanied them. It wasn't even common to have a scene in Felpersham or Borchester.
Is that the case or am I just mis-remembering?

Not to mention SA and NZ
AND a road trip to Scotland, though dialogue never got there.
It used to be a sort of once-a-year treat, like when they had the "twinning exchange" that led to Clarroie and Eddoi going to Paris.
You seem to have forgotten the Over-Sixties trips to Weston!
And when Clarrie and the WI went to the Norfolk Lavender Fields.
Not to mention Siobhán and Brian's trip to Bussels er Brussels, Hungary and Paris.
Caroline Bone and George Barford went to West Berlin (in our hearing ) after Terry had a bad accident - and it was recorded there
and don;t forget the trip to Glastonbury for Phoebe's birth

Didn't they also go to Perth, or possibly Scone, for their honeymoon? Mind you Caroline is probably related to the Earl of Mansfield.
Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me.
We had Brian and Jennifer in some mortuary somewhere too not long before that, checking out a body in case it was Kate.
Maybe it's just the number of outings that are "treats" that make it seem strange to me. Apart from the boomerang trip to Prudhoe (which was just BIZARRE), most of the rest this year have been for indulgence.

That's Caroline and Oliver of course, not Caroline and George Barford.
I think they went to Milan for the opera as well, but I may be wrong.
