Fold drive does strange things to time. It's not instantaneous from either point of view -- it might take several hours from the perspective of the people
on board to transit from place to place while several days or weeks pass in the outside universe, at least that's how it worked in the original series.
The version used in Macross 7 seems a lot more like instantaneity, at least on the outside.
Incidentally, I was wondering why the Macross Frontier fleet rates a President instead of a mayor. Turns out Howard Glass is THE President of the whole damn
New United Nations in addition to being the administrator of the Frontier fleet...
