Like everything else in the game, access to expansions is heavily MSQ-gated - you won't even be able to use map transitions if your MSQ progress didn't unlock them, even if you can get to them somehow. Obviously ferries and other NPCs who will move you to new expansion zones just won't work, but even if you reach a transition you're not supposed to use yet (like the bridge to Radz-at-Han before you get officially invited in the 85 MSQ or thereabouts, or even the various islands with access to Ishgard/Foundation in the Sea of Clouds before you return and get to unlock flying) the game will just kick you back out to where you came from.
