The new “Moana” liveries will inspire guests around the world with a message of exploration – “Voyage beyond the reef” – on all three aircraft ahead of the theatrical release of Disney’s highly anticipated reimagining on July 10. Characters from the film – including the shape-shifting demigod Maui as a powerful hawk wielding his iconic fishhook and the coconut-armored Kakamora catching rides in the sea breeze – appear throughout each design. Guiding the crew on their journey from the wingtips are Moana’s animal friends Heihei, the clumsy chicken, and Pua, the adorable pot-bellied pig. Moana’s beloved island friends will also appear in the overhead luggage bins inside the aircrafts’ cabin.

Voyaging is at the heart of who we are as the airline of Hawaiʻi, a place grounded in a legacy that began with navigators who crossed the Pacific using traditional wayfinding techniques. We’re proud to continue carrying that spirit forward and bring Moana’s journey to life once again as we connect our island home to the world.”

Alisa Onishi

Managing Director of Hawaiʻi Marketing, Hawaiian Airlines

The three live-action “Moana” aircraft join previous liveries that celebrated the Disney film’s animated predecessors, “Moana” and “Moana 2.” Hawaiian, which has served Hawaiʻi for more than 96 years, has also long honored the legacy of early Polynesian voyagers and celestial navigation across its fleet, including naming each aircraft after native birds, stars, plants and forests.

How pioneering pharmacy logistics company uses Alaska Air Cargo’s next-flight-out shipping to deliver medicines to patients’ doorsteps

Alaska E-175LR aircraft

Summary

Patients across central and eastern Washington state can now receive same-day home deliveries of vital medications from their Seattle-based healthcare providers through a new pharmacy-logistics service that uses Alaska Air Cargo’s next-flight-out GoldStreak Package Express shipping to transport prescriptions.

Between 70 and 90 patients every week in Yakima (YAK), Wenatchee (EAT) and Spokane (GEG) get their medications from UW Medicine, Providence Swedish and other providers in Seattle (SEA) through guaranteed GoldStreak shipments flying across the state.

Phox Health’s door-to-door services are now used by most of the large healthcare providers in the Seattle metro region, and the company is exploring expansion to providers and patients in other states, including Hawai’i.

Patients across central and eastern Washington state can now receive same-day home deliveries of vital medications from their Seattle-based healthcare providers through a new pharmacy-logistics service that uses Alaska Air Cargo’s next-flight-out GoldStreak Package Express shipping to transport prescriptions.

Phox Health’s proprietary software and logistics system allows patients to track their shipments of high-value, temperature-sensitive medications like cancer and fertility drugs while in transit from the provider’s pharmacy to the patient’s door. Between 70 and 90 patients every week in Yakima (YAK), Wenatchee (EAT) and Spokane (GEG) get their medications from UW Medicine, Providence Swedish and other providers in Seattle (SEA) through guaranteed GoldStreak shipments flying across the state.

Washingtonians know the airline well, so to see that Alaska Air Cargo is part of their care is very profound. Their meds are not leaving the state. Their meds are staying local, [carried] by an airline they already know and love.”   

Dr. Amit Gir

Founder, Phox Health

The medications come from the providers’ specialty pharmacies, which dispense drugs that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. “It’s like shipping a diamond ring that can melt,” Gir said.

Phox Health transports the prescriptions in its customized temperature-controlled totes to preserve the cold-chain integrity from pharmacy to patient. “This cooler is opened up like a pizza delivery cooler, and we hand the patient their drug in a sealed bag,” Gir said. The cooler returns via air cargo to the provider’s pharmacy to be reused, eliminating the waste of single-use packaging.

Phox Health’s door-to-door services are now used by most of the large healthcare providers in the Seattle metro region, and the company is exploring expansion to providers and patients in other states, including Hawai’i. As in Washington state, Gir sees the greatest need in reaching patients who live far away from urban areas where providers’ specialty pharmacies are located.

“It’s our belief that every patient deserves the best delivery experience for their medication no matter where they live,” Gir said.

Alaska Air Cargo’s GoldStreak service guarantees a shipment is ready for pickup within one hour of arrival and is used to transport lab samples and medical supplies to communities we serve throughout our network. 

When a customer chooses GoldStreak, they are trusting us with something they cannot afford to lose. Lives and livelihoods are counting on us.”

From Hawaiʻi to the world: Two brothers soaring together at Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines

For brothers Kaʻimi and Kekumu “Kumu” N., aviation is more than a career — it’s a shared journey that has connected them across skies, time zones and two beloved brands they proudly represent.

Kaʻimi, a Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendant, first fell in love with the idea of flying while growing up in Hawaiʻi and watching aircraft of all types traveling to, from and within the Hawaiian Islands. As a child, he found inspiration in a friend’s sister, a flight attendant whose travels sparked his dream to explore beyond the Islands’ shores. After college, Kaʻimi followed that dream and joined Hawaiian in 2012.

“Growing up, the two main airlines serving the Islands were Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines, but I always wanted to work for Hawaiian. This job has allowed me to stay connected to my Hawaiʻi roots while still being able to explore the world,” he said.

Kaimi

For Kumu, a Boeing 737 First Officer, the goal was always to work from the flight deck. After spending years at regional carriers in the continental U.S. building flight time and experience, he accepted an offer from Alaska in 2015.

“I kind of followed Kaʻimi to the major airlines,” Kumu said of his older brother, whose path helped shape his own. “I remember my first flight was Seattle to Sacramento. It was a beautiful summer day and a nice, easy first trip. Now, anytime I’m up at altitude, I can’t help but think about how cool this job is.”

ASHA

Despite their different roles, routes and schedules at Alaska and Hawaiian, with Kaʻimi in the cabin and Kumu in the flight deck, their connection has only grown stronger. When they’re both in Hawaiʻi, they’re often together reconnecting with family and enjoying life on island time. They also share a passion for traveling for food and making new memories in destinations around the globe, from Rome and London to Japan and across the U.S.

When asked about each other’s strengths, their answers reflected mutual appreciation and respect.

“Kumu’s skill set is what makes him a pilot that everyone loves and can rely on, being a big asset for the airline. That can’t be overlooked,” Kaʻimi said. “Being able to share stories and experiences we’ve had on the job has been incredible. We can relate to each other more because we are in the same industry.”

“Out of all six siblings, we actually fought the most growing up, but as we got older, we figured it out. I know my brother is always there for me and willing to listen,” Kumu added. “Kaʻimi is a great team member and loves what he does. Everybody loves to work with him.”

As they each pursue their own passions at the combined company, their paths occasionally cross in unexpected ways. “A few months ago, I was scheduled to work Hawaiian’s last Seattle to Honolulu flight of the evening. Kumu had just wrapped up his final flight of the day and raced over to catch his commuter flight back home to Hawaiʻi. It just so happened that Kumu ended up on my flight that night, and that last-minute coincidence gave us the rare chance to fly home together,” Kaʻimi shared.

ASHA

 From ramen in Japan to global cuisine in Seattle, the brothers cherish the experiences their careers have brought them — experiences that have only strengthened their bond. “No matter where in the world Kumu or I are flying, we’ll always be there for each other, cheering one another on,” Kaʻimi said.

Atmos rewards rome image

Summary

New Atmos Members Day gives members offers every month featuring offers, updates and exclusive experiences

The first drop includes global award travel from 7,500 points plus a featured Atmos Unlocked auction for a Japan trip

Atmos Members Day is part of a broader push to make Atmos Rewards more engaging, flexible and valuable year-round

Introducing something new for loyal guests: Atmos™ Members Day — a recurring, monthly moment designed to help Atmos Rewards members get more out of their loyalty program experience.

Held on the first Wednesday of every month, Atmos Members Day will deliver a curated mix of exclusive offers, program updates and unique opportunities directly to members through a dedicated email. Rather than one‑off moments, Members Day creates a predictable rhythm — giving members something to look forward to and making it easier to engage with the program in meaningful ways.

A single place to discover what’s new

Each Atmos Members Day brings together the best of the program in one place — from travel inspiration to partner perks and one‑of‑a‑kind experiences. As Brett Catlin, Vice President of Loyalty and Partnerships, International at Alaska Airlines, shared in his note to members, the goal is simple: highlight “the best of what Atmos Rewards has to offer,” while keeping members connected to the latest updates and benefits.

Benefits include:

  • Limited‑time global redemption opportunities
  • Access to exclusive Atmos Unlocked experiences
  • Ways to earn more through everyday activities and partners
  • Ongoing program enhancements and updates
  • Community and in-person events

Together, these elements reflect a broader shift toward building a more dynamic, engaging loyalty experience that goes beyond flights and helps members unlock more value every month.

Members Day promo

Kicking off June with the first Atmos Members Day

The inaugural Atmos Members Day on June 3 offers a glimpse into how this monthly moment will come to life.

Highlights include an expanded cadence of Atmos Global Getaways, now offered monthly – giving members more frequent opportunities to redeem points for destinations around the world.

Members can also explore Atmos Unlocked, featuring elevated, experience‑driven offerings such as this month’s special auction: a curated nine-day journey through Japan with premium stays, guided experiences and immersive cultural moments. Be sure to check out the Atmos Unlocked page as additional experiences drop each Atmos Members Day, too.

In addition, a range of partner offers makes it easier to earn points through everyday travel and dining — reinforcing that Atmos Rewards extends well beyond the flight itself.

While the specific offers will change month to month, the idea stays the same: delivering a steady stream of value, inspiration and access — tailored to how members travel and engage.

Building a more rewarding member experience

Atmos Members Day is part of a broader effort to create a more guest‑centric, flexible loyalty program built on choice – one that meets members where they are and gives them more ways to engage.

By bringing together global flight opportunities, premium experiences and partner benefits into one monthly touchpoint, we’re making it easier for members to discover what’s possible with their points and to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. Most importantly, this new format creates an ongoing connection with members, ensuring they stay informed, inspired and rewarded — not just once in a while, but every month.

Atmos members can ensure they get each edition of Members Day to their inbox by logging into their account and adjusting their profile settings. Under ‘Communications’, ensure that ‘Monthly points statement and news’ is checked.

Alaska Airlines debuts new Lounge in Portland, raising the bar for premium West Coast travel

Alaska Lounge

Summary

Alaska Airlines is opening its newest Lounge at Portland International Airport, featuring thoughtfully designed spaces with twice the square footage and seating of the current space

The new Lounge reflects the airline’s appreciation for its loyal guests and comes as Alaska continues to expand its service in Portland, offering more flights and more options for guests

The investment to modernize the Portland Lounge is part of Alaska’s growing portfolio to elevate its global guest experience and expand its Lounge footprint, including new spaces in Seattle, San Diego and Honolulu

Alaska Airlines is set to welcome guests to its newest Lounge at Portland International Airport (PDX) when it officially opens on June 4, underscoring its continued investment in premium travel and one of the carrier’s key West Coast hubs.

After more than two years of construction, the approximately 14,000-square-foot Lounge will welcome guests with a warm, thoughtfully designed Pacific Northwest aesthetic, featuring an inviting fireplace and a striking wooden Mt. Hood mural by artist Ben Butler. At twice the size of the current Portland Lounge, it offers more than 200 seats, including Alaska’s Signature Loungers, along with high, open ceilings that bring in natural light and views of Portland’s new terminal. Guests can relax, enjoy fresh, regionally inspired food, sip barista-crafted beverages or cocktails from West Coast partners, or take advantage of ample power plugs and privacy booths for calls and meetings.

Alaska Lounge

Portland guests have chosen Alaska for years and played an important role in our growth in the Pacific Northwest. This new Lounge is our way of thanking them and a reflection of our growing portfolio of premium guest experiences. We look forward to opening our doors this week and welcoming guests with the signature hospitality and thoughtful touches Alaska is known for.”

Shane Jones

Senior Vice President of Fleet, Products and Guest Experience, Alaska Airlines

Alaska is the largest carrier serving Portland, operating more flights than any other airline, including more than 100 daily departures. Portland is a critical hub in Alaska and Hawaiian’s network with expanding service to over 60 destinations across North America and beyond. This summer, Alaska will launch year-round service to Everett/Paine Field (PAE) and Pasco–Tri-Cities (PSC), along with seasonal service to Jackson Hole (JAC). Last month, new service began to Baltimore (BWI), Bellingham (BLI), Idaho Falls (IDA), Philadelphia (PHL) and St. Louis (STL). By this fall, Alaska will offer 50% more seats in Portland than just two years ago, reflecting strong demand for travel and the airline’s continued investment in the market.

Alaska and Hawaiian lobby at PDX airport

Our strong partnership with Alaska has helped to elevate the new PDX as a world-class destination that showcases the Pacific Northwest and makes everyone feel at home. We’re thrilled their new PDX Lounge is here for the long haul, offering travelers a stunning spot to relax, recharge, and experience a taste of our region.”

Chris Czarnecki

PDX Business and Properties Director, Port of Portland

The nearly $18 million investment in the Portland Lounge is part of Alaska’s growing Lounge footprint and broader commitment to enhancing the guest experience as it expands globally. Building on this investment, Alaska just announced its plans to open a landmark, more than 41,000-square-foot lounge in 2027. The Lounge, which will be located in Seattle – home to the airline’s main hub – will be the largest in its network and among the largest airline lounges in the country.

The airline is also designing its first Lounge in San Diego (SAN), along with a new, expanded Lounge in Honolulu (HNL), both slated for early 2028.

Alaska Airlines Lounge members can access eight premium lounges across Alaska and Hawaiian’s network, including its largest lounge in Seattle and additional locations at its hubs in Anchorage (ANC), Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO).

Alaska Airlines brings spirit of friendship and adventure to the skies with new ‘Toy Story 5’ livery on Horizon Air

Hero image

Summary

Horizon Air, the regional carrier of Alaska Airlines, is bringing the next chapter of Disney and Pixar’s iconic “Toy Story” franchise to the skies with a new livery inspired by the film’s latest adventure. 

The special livery commemorates Horizon’s upcoming 45th anniversary of providing safe, caring service and reminds guests of all ages that adventure, imagination and a little play are always ready for takeoff. 

For over 30 years, audiences around the world have followed the beloved toy crew of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, who taught generations that friendship, magic and imagination never go out of style. Now, as Disney and Pixar’s highly anticipated “Toy Story 5” prepares to soar into theaters June 19, Horizon Air, the regional carrier of Alaska Airlines, is bringing the next chapter of the iconic franchise to the skies with a new livery inspired by the film’s latest adventure.

The Embraer 175 (N659QX) showcases original fan favorites Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, alongside new “Toy Story 5” tech toy characters, including Lilypad, Snappy, Atlas and Smarty Pants. Adding to the fun, the livery features floating clouds throughout the fuselage and playful, Toy Story-inspired callouts like “Saddle Up, It’s Takeoff Time!” and “Ready for Takeoff, Partner.” Forky and Karen Beverly also make surprise appearances on the winglets, extending the spirit of “Toy Story” as it reaches for the sky from every angle of the aircraft.

Alaska unveiled Horizon’s new, larger-than-life livery for guests and employees earlier today at Portland International Airport. Named “To 45 and Beyond”, a nod to Buzz Lightyear’s famous interstellar mantra, the special Toy Story aircraft also commemorates Horizon’s upcoming 45th anniversary of providing safe, caring service across Alaska Airlines’ regional network and reminds guests of all ages that adventure, imagination and a little play are always ready for takeoff.

I couldn’t think of a more special way to celebrate Horizon’s history with our guests than to bring out the kid in all of us. Forty-five years of service is a meaningful milestone, and I couldn’t be prouder of our people who, each and every day, put their best foot forward to deliver the industry’s best and most caring travel experience.”

Horizon’s “To 45 and Beyond” joins Alaska’s nine other Disney-themed aircraft, including “Friendship and Beyond at the Disneyland® Resort,” its first “Toy Story” livery, “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Flyer,” “Mickey’s Toontown Express” and the “Star Wars Transport to the Disneyland Resort,” recently updated with Mandalorian and Anzellan characters in celebration of Disney’s newest movie, “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,” now playing in theaters.

About Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5”

The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5,” and this time it’s Toy meets Tech. Woody (voice of Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (voice of Tim Allen), Jessie (voice of Joan Cusack) and the rest of the gang’s jobs are challenged when they come face-to-face with Lilypad (voice of Greta Lee), a brand-new tablet device that arrives with her own disruptive ideas about what is best for their kid, Bonnie. Will playtime ever be the same? “Toy Story 5” is directed by Academy Award® winner Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris, produced by Lindsey Collins, p.g.a., and written by Stanton and Harris. The film features an original score by Oscar® winner Randy Newman, who returns to score his fifth “Toy Story” feature. “Toy Story 5” releases exclusively in theaters June 19, 2026.

Hawaiian Airlines elevates onboard service with pre-order dining by celebrated Hawai’i chefs, fresh fare across all cabins and complimentary local snacks

Summary

New First Class and Main Cabin pre-order dining delivers greater choice and better quality for guests

James Beard Award finalist Chef Sheldon Simeon brings Hawaiʻi’s flavors onboard with a new, locally inspired Main Cabin menu

Huakaʻi by Hawaiian members to enjoy two free meals as a mahalo for their loyalty

New local snack partners elevate complimentary onboard offerings with island-made favorites

As a continuation of Hawaiian Airlines’ signature onboard hospitality, the airline is redefining island-inspired dining in the Main Cabin with a new onboard service program that delivers greater choice, improved quality and a deeper connection to the flavors of Hawai‘i.

Starting July 1, guests in Main Cabin on most flights between Hawai‘i and the U.S. continent will enjoy pre-ordered meals from a fresh, chef-curated menu available for purchase. Hawaiian, which developed the program with Maui-based, James Beard Award finalist Chef Sheldon Simeon, is also introducing new locally made products and enhanced service elements – delivering a richer taste of Hawai‘i and a service experience grounded in Hawaiian’s signature Mea Hoʻokipa hospitality.

At Hawaiian Airlines, food has always been a core expression of our Hawaiian hospitality — our special way of welcoming guests onboard and inviting them into our island home. We designed our new Main Cabin meal program based on guest preference for more control and choice, while allowing us to deliver food that better reflects the richness of Hawaiʻi’s culinary traditions. By moving to a pre-order model, we’re expanding beyond a single standard meal to offer a broader menu that reflects how our guests want to dine today.”

Alisa Onishi

Managing Director of Hawai‘i Marketing, Hawaiian Airlines

Chef-driven menu rooted in Hawai‘i 

The heart of Hawaiian’s new dining program comes from its longstanding partnership with Chef Simeon, a nationally recognized restaurateur. Known for his beloved Maui restaurants, Tin Roof and Tiffany’s, Simeon brings deep culinary expertise and a passion for celebrating Hawai‘i’s diverse food culture.

His menu features elevated takes on local favorites and comfort foods, including dishes such as crispy mochiko chicken with garlic noodles, barbecue teriyaki chicken bento and corned beef hash with eggs. Many items highlight signature flavors from Simeon’s restaurants, including his popular sauces, K mayo, teriyaki and banana bread syrup, as well as his popular crispy topping made from rice crackers and furikake.

For me, food is about sharing where you’re from and the people who shaped you. This menu is inspired by the flavors I grew up with in Hawai‘i — comforting, familiar and full of heart. I’m excited to bring those dishes onboard so guests can experience a true taste of home, wherever they’re headed.”

Chef Sheldon Simeon

Hawaiian Airlines Featured Chef

Menu offerings deliver an experience that is both familiar and distinctly Hawaiian — grounded in culture and prepared with fresh local ingredients made no more than 12 hours before each flight.

“Chef Sheldon embodies the heart and soul of Hawai‘i’s culinary culture,” Onishi added. “His approach to food is rooted in storytelling, community and a deep sense of place, which aligns perfectly with how we think about hospitality at Hawaiian Airlines — brought to life every day by our crews, who deliver exceptional service.”

In March, Hawaiian welcomed Chef Dell Valdez, the Hawaiʻi-born culinary leader behind Vein in Kakaʻako on O‘ahu, as well as Dell’s Kitchen & Bakery and Mio PASTALOGY, as the carrier’s new Executive Chef. With Valdez overseeing Hawaiian’s international Business Class and domestic First Class menus and Simeon designing the Main Cabin meal program, Hawaiian is offering a thoughtfully curated dining experience to guests in every cabin.

More choice, better quality for guests

Rooted in Hawaiʻi and shaped by guest feedback, Hawaiian’s onboard service evolution reflects its continued commitment to offering a more unified, elevated experience across every cabin while staying true to the brand’s signature hospitality.

Already offered in First Class, the pre-order model puts guests in control of their onboard dining experience throughout the cabin, with First Class guests now benefiting from an expanded selection of menu options. Through the Alaska Hawaiian mobile app or website, travelers can select meals up to two weeks in advance (and as close to 20 hours before departure), choosing options that best fit their tastes, preferences and dietary needs — including plant-based and gluten-free selections.

The Main Cabin program will launch July 1 with a curated set of initial offerings, with plans to expand the menu this Fall. Throughout the year, Hawaiian and Simeon will introduce new dishes and rotate items, ensuring the menu remains fresh, relevant and reflective of seasonal ingredients and evolving guest preferences.

Hawaiian hospitality remains at the core with new onboard partners 

Hawaiian’s award-winning Mea Hoʻokipa hospitality — loved by guests — remains central to the inflight experience. Complimentary onboard touches will continue, including a welcome beverage, snacks by new local partners Anahola Granola and Diamond Bakery and a mahalo sweet treat from Hawaiian Host Chocolates or Honolulu Cookie Company served before arrival.

In addition to complimentary alcohol for guests seated in Premium Class, Hawaiian will introduce new complimentary onboard bites for guests seated in Premium Class: Kauaʻi-based Anahola Granola’s Tropical Granola Bar, which features island favorites, papaya and pineapple, paired with honey-roasted oats. Main Cabin guests will enjoy Hawaiian shortbread macadamia nut cookies by Diamond Bakery, made in Hawai‘i and crafted with rich, indulgent flavors served in the morning, and Hawaiian Maui onion kettle chips served in the afternoon.

Designed with sustainability in mind

The new program also advances Hawaiian’s commitment to caring for the ‘āina (land). By aligning meal production with actual guest demand, the airline is reducing unnecessary food and packaging waste.

Most meal packaging is compostable or recyclable, including fiber-based containers and materials that significantly reduce reliance on single-use plastics.

Huakaʻi by Hawaiian members enjoy first two meals on us

Hawai‘i residents who are Huakaʻi by Hawaiian members, or who become members by June 24, will enjoy a special, one-time offer to experience the new menu as part of the program launch. As a thank you for their continued loyalty, starting July 1, Huakaʻi members who make a meal selection for an upcoming trip will automatically receive the first two items free of charge. 

“We’re excited to mahalo our Huaka‘i members – all of whom are kamaʻāina and among our most loyal guests by inviting them to taste our new menu and be part of this exciting chapter of onboard dining with us,” said Onishi. 

This evolution reflects something larger: Hawaiian’s continued commitment to Hawaiʻi and to its guests. The airline continues to share local flavors, support local partners and deliver hospitality with authenticity and care, while investing in modernized spaces, upgraded technology, refreshed Airbus A330 aircraft interiors and expanded community and sustainability efforts that will shape the future of the guest experience.

Traveling internationally this summer? What guests should know before they go

Iceland in the summer

Planning to travel internationally this summer with Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines? Whether jetting off to Rome, London or Iceland for the first time – or making repeat trips to Seoul, Tokyo or Sydney, a little bit of planning goes a long way. Alaska and Hawaiian’s guests can explore the world with confidence, thanks to a seamless travel experience designed to support every stage of the journey.  

Here’s what to know before departure to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip abroad. 

Check entry requirements and security wait times before traveling

Before booking a trip, be sure to check passport expiration dates (many countries require at least six months of validity beyond the return date).  

Guests are responsible for meeting country-specific entry requirements, which can include visas, proof of citizenship and more. Consider using the U.S. Department of State’s International Travel Checklist for a snapshot of what documents are required to enter different countries.

Before the day of travel, guests should check their departure airport’s website for recommended arrival times and current security wait information. They can also reference Alaska’s airport guides for additional general information.

At the airport, international documents and information will need to be verified, so plan to arrive early. Guests can also use the Alaska Hawaiian mobile app to pre-verify international travel documents, but must still bring them to the airport. 

Take advantage of Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), a free travel service that sends timely alerts and helps the embassy reach travelers in an emergency. STEP also keeps travelers informed about safety conditions, weather events and any sudden changes to entry rules.
