Maybe you can consolidate the 1,000 or so words into a few sentences or a short paragraph, still getting the characters from point A to point B in the process? I've found that when I get that bored feeling when writing a scene then chances are that's going to show through to the reader. I've read books where travel literally took place in 1-2 sentences. It keeps things moving (no pun intended) and doesn't give the reader the opportunity to get bored.
