Am I being unreasonable for wanting my friends to choose a more central meeting place?

Myself and my friends all live very far away from each other. Meet ups are nice but only 2-3 times per year. We normally meet in an area that is fairly equidistant for the furthest people including me.
The next meet up is to mark an occasion. Just a day trip. They have chosen a fancy place that is much nearer for everyone but much further for me. I never minded travel but just feel totally excluded. I would love a meet up but it just feels impossible. Do I suck it up and travel or stay home and miss out.
AIBU and how do I put my point across? All advice welcome.

If its usually equidistant then as a one off, you should make the effort especially if its a nice place.

I think when people are spread out it’s very difficult to please all of the people all of the time really.

How far are we talking? What kind of place is it, something unique like a certain theatre or the Tower of London, or something generic like a chain restaurant?

How far?
