Shadowlands is the perfect time to add this to the game have one mount from some quest chain in the shadowlands which would award a mount that can be usable even when dead and can fly if the zone allows.
As a bonus have a rare npc spawn at the grave of invincible which can only be spoken to by players who are dead and have a specific item found in Shadowlands.
Invincible is stuck in Azeorth and not able to pass on to the after life so we help him do that. as a reward we gain invisibles spiritual reigns which would be Spectral form of invincible when he was alive (not the form he looks like in game currently) this mount would of course be useable when dead have have the ability to fly (when the zone permits it)

I support this, Blizzard should give us flight only when we’re dead, to reach our bodies faster.

didn’t we have this in legion? one of the class mounts did this i think but i forget which. i know nightelves when dead have a slight faster speed due to wisp form.
i think they unlock this when flying is unlocked though. not sure if this is only certain zones or what.
Some of the corpse runs are currently just stupid long made so much worse by all the builtin walls in the game (topography).
Sometimes it’s just easier to take a spirit rez and log off for a while. I often doubt that the game designers are even paying attention to the behavior they are motivating and whether its good for the game.

There are certain zones I think in legion that give you a flying mount when dead. No idea why this wasn’t retrofitted to the entire game and all expacs though. Seems like a no brainer.

You are missing the important part which is content plus mounts!

Why not allow the ghost mounts to do this? Ie: Spectral gryphon, Spirit of Ech’ero, Headless Horseman’s mount, Old Blanchy etc…

An aethereal ghost jetpack. Get on this engineers.

That’s a very interesting idea. I like it.
Be a NE, we have a racial just for corpse recovery runs!

walks up to a random Night Elf “Did you know if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer?” we all know where this is going…
Which is poetic irony…you’d think we’d move faster.

I like this idea. I swear we move slower in SLs when we’re dead as compared to other expansions.
