[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The issue is not traveling on the own time.  It is minimizing travel expense and traveling on my own time.

I rectified it in this situation.  Simply stated, I said I have personal plans/obligations that prevent me from leaving before 3 PM ET.  I just did not say the plans were to sit around the house in my bathrobe.

They will allow me to fly on company time, but I have to do it during normal working hours.  I work for a larger (>30K employees) DOD contractor.

This is really a problem when one is on international travel and the only option is a red-eye.  I am unable to function the next day.  What I do then is just tell my manager what I am doing, and have never had problems.

It is now the penny wise on the cost of the flights.  I have no problem with saving money, but please value my time.  You pay me close to $100 per hour.  That means the cost saving should be $100/hr.  Usually, the most expensive thing on travel is my time, and not the travel expense.[/quote]
