Different artists do all kinds of things.
Some artists set their prices high enough to include travel anywhere in the lower 48 states. Clients next door pay the same price as people across the country. Peggy Baumgaertner does it this way and decided to add on about $500 to all her prices to allow for the ones that would require travel.
Other artists ask the clients to reimburse them for the specific expenses they incurred during their trip, and they submit receipts for airfare, hotel, meals etc. at the end.
Still other artists tack on a consistent flat fee ($500 - $700) for any travel outside their home area. I personally like this approach. This way clients aren't worrying about getting hit for a potentialy large (and unkown) bill that they have to pay at the end of the commission. They know up front what the total costs will be.
