Just travel at night, and/or keep the window shutter closed in the day.

Or Angel could have himself smuggled in the luggage.

We learned from Spike that Buffy was dead for nearly 5 months (147 days)
and about the same amount of time passes in both the Buffy and Angel
worlds from the end of one season to the start of the next. Even by
ship, it only takes a couple of weeks to cross the Pacific. Michael
Palin proved a little while back that it is still possible to go around
the world in 80 days, without leaving the ground.

I've been on flights that got delayed for hours, after they locked us
all on the plane, and it isn't just your window shutter you have to
worry about. I've had rising *and* setting suns shining on me through
windows on the other side of the plane.

But travelling by coffin is such a cliche. About the only way he could
get away with it would be as a corpse being shipped 'home' for burial.
(And one customs inspector opening the lid at the wrong time and place,
and you're toast.)

That millionare software geek friend David could have offered to fly Angel
anywhere, anytime, alone, with the shades down on his private jet. He must
have helped Angel pay for the Hyperion, too.

Or the bank money that Angel hid back in the 50's helped buy the hotel and
lease a private jet.
