Does travel time count as overtime?

You are not entitled to pay for your daily commute to and from your place of business. However, any travel from your initial place of business to another work place is considered work time. As well, any travel out of town, including time driving to the airport, sitting on the airplane, or riding in a taxi is considered work time, no matter what time of the day or night, or weekend. Unless you are exempt from the wage and hour laws, you are entitled pay for these hours and overtime pay, if applicable.
