Travel alerts

The Travel alerts page shows a list of travel and weather alerts sorted by highest impact to lowest. The real-time travel data search and on-page filters narrow down the results.

Anatomy

Top of page advertisement

The travel alerts page can have an advertisement at the top between the breadcrumbs and the H1 title. The space is the same as the existing site ad space - leaderboard size (728x90).

Left-align the ads.

Use the existing specs and accessibility accommodations for ads.

On mobile sizes, the ad is small Mobile Banner sized.
