US COVID-19 Testing Locations with results in 72 hours or less for Travel

Locations Finder: www.testfortravel.com

Some current Airport testing centers available within the U.S. include:

  • Tampa International Airport: This testing center is meant for passengers traveling to and from Tampa International Airport (TPA) so bring proof of travel. PCR test results come back in about 48 hours and cost $150.
  • Oakland International Airport: There are two testing centers at OAK, one in the airport and a drive-up location. Only passengers heading to Hawaii are encouraged to use this, though technically any passenger can book the drive-up location. Appointments are required and there is no out-of-pocket fee.
  • Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport: Testing is open to all at MSP and done with saliva. This is free for Minnesota residents and $94 for others. Test results are back within 24 to 48 hours. Appointments are accepted but not always required.
  • Anchorage International Airport: Testing at ANC is free for Alaska residents and $250 to others. All nonresidents that cannot provide proof of testing prior to travel will be required to test upon arrival.

  • Bradley International Airport: Open seven days per week, if the test is not covered by the passenger’s insurer, tests are still available for $125 each. Results will most likely be available within 72 hours of testing, however, it can take longer. Testing is only available to passengers traveling through Connecticut’s Bradley Airport (BDL) on the day of their flight and you can preregister before arriving at the testing site.
  • New York-LaGuardia: PCR testing is free with no appointments necessary in LGA’s Terminal B parking garage with results delivered by phone within 48 hours. However, this won’t be very useful for travel verification purposes since the results are verbal.
