* In ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', Ange is split / time travels when she jumps off the roof of the hospital, but there is no detail given as to the process by which she actually does it, since the third installment ends with her jumping off the roof, and the fourth installment begins with her already in the meta-world. Granted, of course, that the meta-world itself is outside of the time-space continuum.

* ''DoctorWho''[='=]s Time Vortex

* MentalTimeTravel such as that found in ''GroundhogDay'' usually goes under this category.

* ''MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime''.

->"''I'm standing at the time portal, which scientists say, follows 'Terminator' rules. That is, it's one way only and you can't go back. This is in contrast to, say, 'BackToTheFuture' rules, where back and forth is possible, and of course 'Timerider' rules, which are just plain silly.''"

* The manga ''LittleJumper'' arguably uses this. Time machines make all kinds of fuss on-camera when they get to where they're going, but we have yet to see the travelers' perspective.

* ''SapphireAndSteel'' just arrive at whatever place and time their assignment is set, usually walking in through the front door.

* This is how time travel works in {{JasperFforde}}s ''ThursdayNext'' Series, but here you can also pause and loop.

* ''The End of Eternity'' has a parallel "timeless" dimension.

* Used in an episode of ''S Club 7 in Miami'' (aka ''{{Miami 7}}''), where the group went into fog on a boat in the Bermuda Triangle and fell unconscious, waking up in the 80s with clothes from that time. They regained their original clothes when they re-entered the fog to go back to their own time, except for Hannah, who kept her 80s shoes for reasons that were never explained.

If one is only going forwards, then this version resembles one the most scientifically plausible means of time travel, namely, accelerating fast enough for TimeDilation to be noticeable. (Of course, since you're actually ''accelerating'', you'll only be able to see the "fast-forwarding" of very distant large object, like a galaxy, and your vision will be modified too, [[DisSimile so it's not really anything like this model]]. See TheoriesOfRelativity for more info.)

What does TimeTravel '''look''' like? Well, no one knows (as far as we know anyway), but fiction has given us four theories. (These are not to be confused with the different interpretations of TemporalMutability).

* The titular character of ''BunnyMustDie'' similarly uses this except she has pause and slow as well.

** It ''is'' called a [[AWizardDidIt MAGIC]] school bus...
*** [[IncrediblyLamePun Ms. Frizzle did it?]]

** While this is indeed Wormhole time travel, It's not quite other dimensions.
*** Time And ''Relative Dimensions'' In Space.
**** Time And Relative ''Dimension'' In Space - no s
**** And left, right, up, down and sometimes time are dimensions.
***** Left and right are two direction in a single dimension, actually... height, width, depth and time are the dimensions you're thinking of.

* It'sNotLikeThatDarling has instantaneous, no-flash (no air displacement either, for that matter) time travel.

* In ''UniversalWarOne'', the main cast time travels because of the opening/closure of a wormhole.

* In ''UniversalWarOne'', the main cast time travels because of the opening/closing of a wormhole.

* Robert Sheckley's ''Time Killer'' has something approaching this.

* This is how time travel works for units in {{Achron}}. For the player, in practice it is something of this and MentalTimeTravel combined, though what is known of the fluff suggests it is somewhat more complicated.

** George "Yankee" Longago, an obscure GoldenAge superhero, had the power to travel through time while asleep, usually based on his subconscious desires.

It is, of course, presumed that you're invisible (and not solid) while traveling through time in this manner, i.e. people on the outside don't see someone standing around for years and years while moving ''very'' slowly. Modern works take this for granted, but H.G. Wells actually gave it a HandWave, essentially explaining that the traveler is going through time too quickly to be seen. (This doesn't quite explain how the traveler isn't ''[[FridgeLogic solid]]'', but never mind.)

* TheButterflyEffect actually uses this analogy to allow the Main Character to revisit his memories; and then later change them.
