Frequently Asked Alaska Travel and Moving Questions

Moving to Alaska

Over the years we have been asked many times about ألاسكا السفر and Moving FAQ article and thought we would share some of our updated knowledge since things can change.

Driving through Canada is still popular and if you can manage your gas consumption and cut costs by معدات التخييم or sleeping in your car costs will drop allot. The time of year is greatly important because if you are too cold you will need a الفندق room. Everything costs more along the road so buy food, water, or other caning goods at lower costs in the lower 48 first. 

Upack shipping containers are currently one of the cheapest ways to get household goods from the lower 48 states into Alaska. 

Shipping automobiles via Lyndon Transport out of the Seattle port will run you around $2300 in 2021.

The Alaska Ferry or marine highway is still useful but can be expensive. Make sure if your taking an Automobile to consider the length of the vehicle due to كلف,  and stuff it full of things that are expensive or hard to find in Alaska. $5000 for a small CRV/SUV is not unusual if going to Wittier Alaska. Here is the link for the طريق ألاسكا البحري السريع.

Driving a truck and trailer can be more كلف-effective if going to the interior or Anchorage area. We have done this before using trailers and U-Hal when we need to bring in large items or bulk items that are hard to find in Alaska. South East Alaska you would need the Alaska Ferry system but might be able to cut some costs if driving into Canada and the Yukon Territory and then down to سكاجواى. You can then take a short ferry ride to Juneau. If closer to Washington state is your destination then consider going out of Bellingham Washington and take the Alaska Marine Highway but be sure to save up for the extra costs. 

If you’re taking the Marine Highway to Wittier you can then drive off the ferry to Anchorage or take the train from Wittier to Anchorage, Denali, or Fairbanks.

Traveling Alaska

ألاسكا السفر and Moving FAQ

Traveling to Alaska right now in 2021 is very simple, and does not slow me or others down much. When you arrive you currently do need to show proof of a negative covid test or get tested at the airport when you arrive. The test needs to be within three days currently. I have personally done the test several times and it is a short nasal swab without any discomfort at all. Once you in Alaska there shouldn’t be any testing between airports as you go along. If your driving along the highways inside interior Alaska you should be good for the 2021 summer session. Please keep in mind, that the State of Alaska has no mask mandate but on federal أرض or buildings, you are required to wear one. So keep this in mind if you’re سفر or moving to Alaska.

In my own observation outside of Juneau الناس don’t seem to be wearing masks much and outside it’s very limited. Flights have continued internationally for the state and there does not seem to be any illness issues of any kind and that includes the seasonal flu. الأفراد do spend time في الهواء الطلق in Alaska and I’m sure that has also helped.
