Yipes, I skipped right over the double "connected to". That _does_ seem
a little too powerful for my liking, if you can reach somewhere three
rooms away on your turn (flight then movement). I change my vote to nay,
and counterpropose:

  Flight Delay [Psmith]

  Add a dark gift named Flight:
  In any situation where the rules permit a player to move him or
  herself voluntarily, a player with Flight may instead fly.  Flying
  consists of changing one's location to a room connected to a room
  that is connected to one's current location. Although this action
  is not movement in itself, the player is, for the rest of that turn,
  considered to have already moved in that turn.

(And I'd say you _can't_ fly to your current location, since that's
not "changing one's location".)
