Modern teleportation would involve scanning the data of a person at a transmission bay, and transmitting this data to a replication bay. Create some sort of .human file, and send it over the internet.
However, the internet is notoriously adverse to transferring large files, and so the .human format would need to be compressed.
Given the estimated sheer scale of data that defines a human, teleportation would involve compression artifacts. Memory fog, minor muscle voxelization, spinal inconcruencies, or duplicated intuition.
International teleportation would still leave you jet-lagged, but also with muscle aches, dehydration, and foggy memory. Really, it wouldn't be that different from flying at all.
