What are the best ways to get to/from the airport from Kitchener? I imagine MiWay/Go would probably be the most economical, however I was also curious about what kind of car-sharing or other services exist.

It worked well enough, and cost a fraction of what a taxi would.
Normally I just drive though and park in the Economy Value Lot.

It was generally cheaper than any of the airport parking options and was fast and convenient. Airways Transit was surprisingly non-competitive, with taxis often being no more expensive. I did once take Airways Transit back from the airport though and ended up with a nice, comfortable sedan to myself instead. Plush leather seats and everything. It seemed to be an Airways Transit vehicle, but it might have been because I was getting dropped off at my house instead of the Waterloo Inn? I didn't completely understand, to be honest, but it was very nice. I like public transit in principle, but I always had a fair bit of luggage and, frankly, it sucks carrying lots of luggage on a GO train or bus.

At $103 for the week, it was not too much more than Park 'n' Fly, and the train is much more predictable than Park 'n' Fly's shuttles.Out of curiousity, what Park 'n' Fly did you use? I've always used the Valet Park 'n' Fly and have never had to wait more than a few minutes for the shuttle.
