A PE Firm is flying me from CA to NY for an in-person interview next week. They let me book my own travel and will reimburse. I'm scheduled to fly in Tuesday night, have interviews/lunch Wednesday, and fly back Wednesday night. Another firm, upon hearing I'll be in town, has now invited me to come in on Thursday.
I plan to push my flight a day or two to make the Thursday meeting. My question is whether it would be in poor taste to let Firm 1 know I'm also meeting with Firm 2 given Firm 1 is paying for this trip (obviously I'll cover the change fee and additional hotel night).
I am pretty sure Firm 1 will ask who else I'm talking to. And I know having multiple options is generally a positive signal. Just wanted a sense check.

I wouldn’t mention that. Poor form to have one firm pay for you to interview with another.
Agree, no need to be excessively transparent. Firm #1's net costs are effectively unchanged (ignoring extra hotel night). I think it's reasonable to mention to Firm #2 that you'll already be in town (don't have to get into details) and expense your extra hotel night to Firm #2.
Ideally you can split it and/or relocate, so Firm #1 can squarely pay for their nights and Firm #2 the remainder.
Thanks guys. Yup I will relocate hotels for night 2. I used to live in NY so if it comes up I can always mention I am meeting with some friends and former colleagues (which I will actually be doing).
