"Here for an interview" do i disclose?

I know there are a billion posts about people wanting to know if they should disclose who they are interviewing with but this one is a little different. I am getting flown out for an interview and have some time between the end and flight so i scheduled another interview, would you disclose if asked or make up an excuse about a work trip? This is a lateral by the way

I don't think there's a right answer and maybe saying you are there for another interview could massage them into moving more quickly, but I'd probably just say you're there for a work related thing if they ask, although that my be odd if you're an analyst at an IB that never lets you out of the office. If they ask for more details (highly doubtful) just tell them the truth.

In any case if you tell them the truth they're not going to think you're a two timing whore who used someone else's plane tix as a free ride to another interview or that you're cheating on them by talking to another firm, if that's your worry.
