It's always funny how so many people answer a question when they really have no clue to the answer.
A misdemeanor warrant may only be good for the local area of the agency that issued the warrant, or it may be statewide depending on the offense. This depends on the geographical limits the signing judge assigned to it.
If it's a felony it will probably be nationwide.
You can drive and fly anywhere you want at anytime you want, but if you have contact with a police officer and he runs you, then that felony warrant will show up; and you will be arrested and the agency that wants you will come and get you. Your not going to be charged for any additional charges just because you weren't in the same state the warrant was issued out of.

i'm not sure they do in all states yet Illinois and Missouri they're going to expire however the timeframe is between 5 to ten years reckoning on the section, reason for arrest, and are available to a decision putting the arrest warrent.

if you leave the state you'd still be caught and extradited back to the state the warrant is in. Additional charges would be added because they consider that "running from the law". Anyone harboring that individual may be jailed as well , and anyone knowing that person is running, is leaving the state, or plans to run needs to turn them into the authorities because in some states they can go to jail for not telling. The very best thing someone can do if there is a warrant out for their arrest is to turn themselves in.

If you have a warrent, and it is a felony, depending on the type of felony, it may qualify for federal charges - interstate flight to avoid prosecution. If it is a misemeanor, you may be arrested in a different state, held in lockup, pending the state of issuance's decision on weather or not they want you extredited for prosecution.

You can do whatever you want, until they catch up with you.
The only time your movements can be restricted is when you're under indictment or investigation and given a court order not to travel beyond a certain area.
A warrant means they're already looking to put you in jail, they just haven't caught up with you yet!

If there is a warrent out for your arrest and you go out of the state you could be in even bigger trouble with the law.

If you go out of state they are able to track you back down.

If you have a warrant, you can still fly outside of the US as long as you do not have a hold order from the court.

I really wouldn't chance going outside of the state if you have a warrant. because you can get yourself in more trouble than you were in ,
