Yes, there are times that a panel is being used, and it takes time to setup and get things in place. If that was the case, and was explained to you that would be one thing.
At the end of the day, the company is only hurting themselves by taking that timeframe. I work at an employer that sometimes does this and wonders why their pool of candidates shrinks so fast...

You did the right thing. They did not act ethically, especially considering the distance you would need to travel. It's not like you live down the street and you are currently unemployed. In fact as a manager, your current dedication to the job would be more appealing because it shows your own work ethic and character.
