Attention Travelers:
If you’re flying soon, please keep an eye on your flights. With the current government shutdown, some air traffic controllers and TSA staff aren’t showing up for shifts in certain areas, which could cause delays or cancellations.

Make sure your airline app is on your phone and notifications are turned on for the latest updates. Even if your flight is on time, plan to arrive early—fall break travel and staffing shortages may mean longer TSA lines.

Check your airport’s website for arrivals and delays before you head out. I’ll be monitoring flights for my travelers as well, but the more eyes, the better.

And as always—pack your patience. Everyone’s doing their best to keep things moving safely.

Important European travel Update!‼️ 🧳

Starting October 12, 2025, the European Union will launch the Entry/Exit System (EES), replacing traditional passport stamps with a faster, digital process designed to make border crossings more efficient.
✈️ Instead of a stamp, travelers will provide a quick photo 📷and fingerprints when entering or leaving the EU.
By April 2026, this new system will be active across all Schengen countries.
What U.S. travelers (and other non-EU visitors) should keep in mind:
• Each entry and exit will now be recorded electronically.
• Border wait times may be a bit longer at first, so plan extra time when traveling.
• Children under 12 will not need to provide fingerprints, though a photo may still be required.
At Windblown Travel, I keep a step ahead of the shifting travel landscape, so you can focus on what really counts: the moments waiting for you when you arrive. If Europe is on your horizon for 2026, I’ll ensure every detail flows effortlessly—from the first reservation to your return home with memories worth keeping forever.

Big announcement from NCLC🕶

We are excited to announce that starting October 15, 2025, your clients' Seven Seas Society® status can be honored across the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings® family. They can enjoy equivalent status and onboard benefits* every time they sail aboard Oceania Cruises® and Norwegian Cruise Line®.
With 700 destinations and over 30 ships to choose from, they'll discover a whole new world of rewards while enjoying the status they've earned.

Loyalty Status Honoring Program Terms & Conditions
The Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. Loyalty Status Honoring Program ("Program") offers guests sailing on the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NCLH) brands, being Norwegian Cruise Line® (Norwegian), Oceania Cruises® (Oceania) or Regent Seven Seas Cruises® (Regent), the opportunity to have their respective loyalty status in Latitudes Rewards®, Oceania Club® and/or Seven Seas Society® honored by the closest corresponding tier of the brand they elect to sail with on a per-cruise basis. Participation in the Program is entirely optional and is by guest request at least ten (10) days prior to departure. This Program commences with sailings departing on or after October 15, 2025. By submitting your request to have your loyalty status honored under this Program, you agree to these terms and conditions and our decisions on all matters related to this Program. Norwegian, Oceania and Regent reserve the right to modify or change these Terms and Conditions at any time and further reserve the right to terminate this Program at any time, without notice.

Eligibility
Guest must be eighteen (18) years or older.
Guest must be an active member of at least one of the following loyalty programs: Latitudes Rewards, Oceania Club, or Seven Seas Society.
Status honoring is valid only for the specific cruise requested that the guest is embarking upon of another brand.
Honored status will revert to the tier earned through cruise activity with the brand sailed, within 7 days of cruise completion.
Loyalty Status Honoring Request Submission
Requests must be submitted at least ten (10) days prior to the date of sailing.
Requests cannot be processed once the voyage has commenced.
Requests must be submitted via email to the brand the guest is sailing with:

Back-to-back sailings will be covered by one submission, and guests will not need to submit a status-honoring request for each leg of their trip.
Brand Recognition and Point Accrual
Through the Program, guests will join the loyalty program of the new brand on which they are traveling, and accrue points within the loyalty program of the new brand.
If a guest is a member of multiple loyalty programs within our brands, the guest will travel on the higher loyalty program tier status that aligns with the brand on which they are traveling.
Guests will accrue points only for the loyalty program of the brand on which they are traveling.
