Luggage isn't going to be a concern on this trip. (On the other hand, I had 3 pieces flying back to Waterloo just now, 55kg; but bringing it back from YKF is also hard).
$180 is still more than the taxi and generally less convenient except for the checked luggage and protected connection issues. It does give you more AC points but not a huge number.
I added YKF segments after the fact to my YYZ-YQR trip this weekend for $0. I'm not sure it's actually a win over either driving or taking GO, but we'll see. The YYZ-YQR flight is at 9pm and I'm leaving from YKF at 3:35pm. Unfortunately getting to YKF is annoying and parking is not as cheap as I might hope. And then if I leave a car at YKF then I have to pick it up too. I'm flying back on Sunday arriving at 8pm at YYZ and taking the bus at 10pm. Again, that's super slow...
Definitely let me know if they do any bag checking on the way to Toronto. If they don’t the fact the bus goes to the airport instead of downtown is a clear unforced error.
