Lml513 Posted April 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Can we book Princess transfers from Whittier to Anchorage if we don't book airfare from Princess? Are there any other alternative means of transportation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken076 Posted April 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yes. Princess offers Train, Motorcoach and Transfer/Excursions that take about 5 hours and end-up at Airport or at the Visitor Center (your choice). Since we have a late nite flite, we booked the Turnagain Arm Transfer/Excursion which is under Whitter/Anchorage Excursions. There are a number of Independent options, but there are few Rental Cars or Taxis. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryL Posted April 27, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2009 We are taking the Portage Glacier tour from Whittier and being dropped at the airport or downtown Anchorage. After that we have friends picking us up for an insiders tour of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie92 Posted April 28, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2009 DH and I traveled independently after we reached Alaska. We needed to get to the airport to pick up our rental car, so we booked the bus transfer from Whittier to Anchorage. We were on the bus by 7:30 am and at the airport and in our rental car between 10-10:30 am. Princess had our luggage waiting for us at the airport. We thought that we would be much later into Anchorage since we were not on a time table. It was nice to get the day going early. We made it Talkeetna in time for lunch. Have a great time, I wish I was going back to Alaska this summer :o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embracedbylife Posted April 28, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2009 We rented a car in Whittier and drove from Whitter to Seward then back up to Anchorage. Spent the night in Seward. It was so nice to be able to get out of the car and stop along the way up to Whitter! Not bad prices either. Dropped the car off at the Airport!
