Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

I don't think there's anything coming in the next 10 years that would make me even consider recommending it as an option.  Even the eventual (and still far away) all-day 2-way GO service will have no-service periods or periods with very infrequent service.

Edit: Basically all the reasons that we're talking about why we want to use YKF over YYZ would apply to Toronto people using YKF.

I can tell you that A LOT of folks living in Toronto/Mississauga commuted to YKF to take our American Airlines flight when it was in operation.  The cheaper parking, lower (slightly) airfare were factors, but what I heard consistently is that they would collect baggage, clear Customs and drive back home in less time than it would take to even get to a Customs officer at Pearson.

The ULCC model of using smaller, outside of major centre is a tried and true model... I don't think they would have much of a problem in YFK.
