Imani Reeves
Corporate travel manager at a Houston energy firm. Books a team of sixty engineers to remote sites weekly. Writes part-time about budget travel done right.
Imani has been the corporate travel manager at a mid-cap Houston energy firm for ten years. Her team of sixty engineers fly out to remote sites every week, sometimes on commercial regional carriers, sometimes on charter, and she negotiates the contracts that keep the company’s travel budget under control.
She writes for airport.flights as a paid freelance contributor, one piece a month on average, focused on the practical economics of US business travel: parking choices that actually save money, the fare classes that matter, the hidden charges that don’t show up on the booking page until two weeks later. Her beat is the unromantic side of airports.
She lives in The Heights, flies IAH because she has to and because it’s twenty minutes from her front door, and is convinced that nine out of ten travellers are overpaying for parking at every airport they visit.
