cruiserdru Posted April 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Currently, we are arriving by cruise ship in Whittier on 8/31, taking a ship transfer to Anchorage Airport, and an Alaska Air 1:40 pm flight to Fairbanks. We have a cruisetour (different cruiseline) starting 9/1 out of Fairbanks. With all the concern over Redoubt impacting air traffic, I am looking for a backup plan for transport to Fairbanks. The only thing I have seen is the Alaska Railroad but that leaves around 8 am and doesn't appear to be an option. Are there any other ways to get to Fairbanks? If the planes aren't flying, one approach is to take the train on 9/1 and get off at Denali where my tour stops that evening. Just trying to know what my options are if things go wrong.

cruiseej Posted April 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2009 For a backup plan, why not reserve a car for a one-way rental? Your trip is far enough off that we really have no idea whether Redoubt will still be an issue or not. Booking a bus or train would likely require a partial or full payment, but reserving a car doesn't. Why put any money at risk for something the odds are against you needing? -- Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
