Therefore, we felt it would be helpful for all of you hoping to join us this year to share a few resources put out by the State of Alaska to help educate travelers of the restrictions currently in place at the timing of this post (June 18th, 2020).

Does 72 hours before departure mean 72 hours before we leave Montana to Anchorage or 72 hours before arriving in Anchorage.
Hi Jerry, good question. According to the state results indicating the traveler has tested negative for COVID-19 72 hours prior to departure to Alaska to avoid quarantine. In other words, the test would need to have been taken 72 hours prior to leaving Montana.
There is also the option of testing 5 days prior to departure, as long as you also test again at the airport when you arrive. If you have your results from your 5 day test, and take a second test when you arrive, then you do not need to quarantine.
Hope that helps!
