    Region of Waterloo International Airport YKF - Happy Canada Day!

    Region of Waterloo International Airport YKF

    I've been to this airport about 6-8 times- crowned check in regular here. Having helped build this…read moreairport-it's some priviledge to start using it. This is THE AIRPORT known for the Flair plane running off the runway track. It was also known for no lounge access and limited to no food options, but thing have changed. It's also the airport known for the longest time as a difficult public transit accessible airport. So I thought to give an update on things. The airport is situated in Breslau, it is a difficult airport to get to if you are relying on public transit. From most popular access points in Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge it can take about an hour via GRT bus service. This is a bus service for the local. They at one point did on call reservation pick up from a certain location that was still quite remote. Not there's a general bus that connects at Maple Grove where the loblaws supply chain-improvements but still a struggle. I personally have not taken it because I'm usually with a companion and it's $4 per person and a Lyft can cost $15. Second I'm usually travelling with oversized luggage the size of a body bag. The airport does have parking but it's pretty expensive and seasonally, namely the winter time economic lots are closed. But the lot does have flexible 90min free parking onsite so if you just want to wait and pick up it's an option. There are ride share pick up at the front, but I truly struggle to book Lyft, often putting a request and waiting forever. Uber seems to be only option and that can cost $20. This airport is comprised of three gates, there is a cafe now inside the secured area, there is washroom, water fountain, plenty of seating with plugs in every seat. No lounge access. This airport services Westjet and Flair and private planes. It also services Landline that transfers to Toronto-but you can't do security clearance then go straight to secured area at Toronto Pearson like some of the landline service in USA. So it's an easy ride, comfortable but unstable seat trays for laptop work for a $40 transfer with reasonable internet speed. There are other options for $10-25 in the area to transfer to Toronto Pearson without spending $20 to travel to the airport. If you happen to take Flair or Westjet, the oversized baggage is really easy to clear, and there are two security lines for xray (possibly three lines can be setup-looks like the equipment is already setup). There is no nexus express line here- so arriving a little early can help you avoid the general line. Definitely worth giving this airport a try if you haven't done so. CBSA is here- but changed to the only platform for custom clearing no longer requires visiting this airport in person.

    What a great experience it is to fly out of YKF Airport. There is plenty of parking (across from…read moreterminal) and the first 90 minutes is free. The people are very nice and overall it was an enjoyable flying experience. The check-in counters move kinda slow so make sure you get here at least 90 minutes prior to departure time. They also only had 1 security line open. Definitely a lot less stressful than YYZ Airport

    Well-maintained, excellent airport with unobstructed approach's and departures. Fine ILS.read more

    Genesee County is a general aviation airport in Batavia with runways 10 and 28 measured at around…read more5,500 ft. It is a favorite airport of mine to go for a nice sunset flight from Buffalo. Not even halfway, on clear days you can see the skyline of both Rochester and Buffalo. The airport has a relatively long runway, no landing fees and the fuel here is competitively priced and usually one of the lowest in the region. It is very close to the I-90 (in fact, my downwind for 28 is generally right above the 90) and if you follow the interstate, you will inevitably spot it from the air. Once you park your aircraft and walk inside, you will see a meeting room, a bunch of TVs with weather radar looping and a kitchen that likely still has some stale coffee you can help yourself to (I mean that in the nicest way possible). The people who work here are super nice and the facility offers both 100LL and Jet Fuel. Self-serve is predictably cheaper and for them to fill up your gas is usually about $0.40/c a gallon more. During my flight training, it was the first airport other than Lancaster that I solo'd to so it always will have a special place in my heart. Not to mention it has an ILS system for instrument approaches and you'll often see many people here practicing. Oh, pattern elevation is 1,912ft and field elevation is 912 ft.
