Waterloo Regional (YKF) is a small regional airport with a single compact terminal and very limited scheduled service, so genuine connecting itineraries are rare. When they do occur, the tiny terminal footprint means transfers are quick and straightforward with essentially no walking distance involved. There is only one small terminal building, so passengers simply walk from the gate area to check-in or back through security if needed. There are no shuttles, trains, or airside transit systems since the entire building can be crossed in a couple of minutes.

This matches the practical domestic MCT, workable only if both flights are on time and check-in is quick. See full 30 min guide →
