that's a very generous travel policy (unless you are self-employed) to spend a full day for travel domestically! i'm always on the 6am flight out and frequently same day return (if only going out for 1 or 2 meetings, with nothing scheduled the next day). even when it's LA trips (from NY), most of my colleagues fly redeye back and then straight to full day of work...i think i'm in the wrong job!
