Alaska Airlines coronavirus testing

Alaska Airlines has partnered with several testing providers, offering at-home, in-person and drive-through options. All of these testing partners are approved by the State of Hawaii’s pre-travel testing program.

At-home testing. Alaska Airlines has partnered with Costco Wholesale to offer saliva-based at-home testing kits for travelers ages 5 and up. These tests cost $139.99 each and are delivered via UPS overnight delivery. Additionally, these tests are administered with a video observation appointment and must be dropped off at UPS before the overnight shipping cutoff time — with results in 24 to 48 hours. Alaska recommends that you purchase these tests at least one to two weeks before your trip to ensure that you can confirm a video appointment slot.

In-person testing. Alaska Airlines has partnered with Carbon Health and Bartell Drugs to offer in-person priority testing for Alaska flyers. Carbon Health tests cost anywhere from $135 to $170, and you will need to schedule your appointment in advance.

You’ll receive same or next-day results at all their testing sites:

  • Seattle
  • Los Angeles
  • Portland
  • San Diego
  • San Jose
