Do you charge weekends if travelling on one off trips?

I'm off to India on a Saturday and returning to the UK the following SUnday. On top of the normal Mon-Fri charge, what (if anything) would you folks charge for travelling time? 0, 2 or 4 days?

Thanks,

Depends what your contract says, mine allows me to charge for hours spent travelling to other sites so bill for entire journey

Try and find out what others have done previously, if you can charge and not upset anyone then do it. I have usually got round this by taking time off in lieu with agreement from the project manager and invoicing for those days rather than the weekend ones. This way it doesn't up the budget and raise any questions further up in the hierarchy.

Much the same for me. My client tells me to invoice for bank holidays as it keeps things simple from their end and raises no questions about why you're billing for Saturdays or Sundays. I've never run out of bank holidays so I don't know what would happen if the travelling days became more than the number of bank holidays in a year.
