In my on-the-job experience (in the US), it is 100% idiomatic to say things like, “Has Jim’s travel to Salt Lake City been approved?” where travel is essentially synonymous with trip. Likewise, “I completed my travel without any major headaches.” I note though that we would not say something like *”His next travel is to Washington.” | |
