What does Travel Day mean?
Travel Day refers to a designated day when cast or crew members travel to a filming location. Travel days are an essential part of production schedules, especially for shoots that take place in different cities or countries. Travel days typically do not involve any shooting but are accounted for in contracts, and crew or talent may receive per diem payments for these days. Related terms include Per Diem, which refers to daily allowances for travel expenses.
