Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

On the other hand, there was a $180 premium for "flying" out of YKF in February on my way to Japan. No thanks! It would also have required an open-jaw to return to YYZ, or else an overnight in YYZ or YUL, or abandoning a segment.

It's a lot for a bus ride but $180 RT from Kitchener to Toronto is competitive comparing to taxi and Airways Transit or similar. Probably wouldn't take it myself, but more around $100-120 premium would make me think about it.

Interestingly, I wouldn't take it for any premium, in fact, it's a dubious value at the price I paid which was "free", literally no difference in fares between Toronto and YKF.

To me, it is basically the same as taking the bus, but possibly less convenient because the times might not align with my flight. But worse, because it goes to YKF (bizarrely, because there is no reason to), rather than somewhere *in* the city.

So yeah, instead of sitting in the city bus terminal at Pearson for 3-4 hours, I can get on the UP Express and connect to the GO train into downtown, and that's a more useful transit experience....even though it does involve 1-2 transfers.
