Plus you save yourself the 3 hour drive to YYZ, and the huge amount of time you need to arrive before your flight at big airports. I usually get to YGK 30-40 minutes before my flight, and everything goes off without a hitch. Going through security is super fast because the plane usually only holds 18 people. If there's enough demand, like around Christmas, they'll bump up the plane size to hold 40. And that's the only plane that actually services the airport. So two or three security staff are dedicated to just your flight. The same goes for when you fly into YGK. You wait less than 5 minutes for your bags to be unloaded since there are so few people on the plane with you. Things move fast. One time the a lady who worked there was mad at me because you're supposed to arrive 2 hours early if your destination is the US... Even though I was flying YGK - YYZ first, and I would go through US customs in Toronto anyway. Ridiculous. She also told me I'd better not show up at the San Francisco airport 30 minutes before my return flight or I'd miss it. Thanks. I think she was just cranky because it was 5 am. It does pain me to nearly double my flight cost for a connection to Kingston, but the convenience is worth it.

It is definitely convenient, located just south of the Thousand Islands Bridge and Wellesley Island after you cross over the Saint Lawrence River from Canada. New York doesn't allow overnight parking in rest areas and welcome centers, which is seriously annoying.

They now have a Jet Bridge which for New York winters and bad weather is a huge improvement. For pet lovers they added a relief area for dogs. A new restaurant is planned but has not been started. I frequently visit my son in Philly and this Airport is easy to navigate and flight loads and pricing is not as high as Syracuse. They fly two direct flights daily to Philly. American is the only carrier though we have heard rumors about other carriers possibly making Watertown home. We have also heard American may add addition flights. With all the new improvements would have thought they would take the mid app/ digital wallet in lieu of presenting Real ID. So make sure you bring your physical Real ID. In February TSA will be charging 45 dollars if you do not have your Real ID along with additional screening. My understanding from TSA is that they did not upgrade their equipment to included equipment to support digital Real ID. Great TSA staff and easy to navigate. Gate and Ticket agents are warm, friendly, and helpful. This airport was one of my favorites and now this makes it my go to for flights to Philly. Airport Parking is still free and paving has been completed. Highly Recommend

Byers helped make our wedding day on 29th October absolutely perfect…read more In the months leading up to it all, I found transportation one of the most stressful things to try and book. So many limousine services were unresponsive, difficult to contact, etc. NOT Byers--from the get go Shelley was warm and professional, calling me right away to discuss details and make sure everything was timed correctly and how I wanted it. She was also in contact in the weeks leading up to the wedding, as was James, to make sure that I knew everything would be okay. On the day of, James was our driver. The limo was beautiful and clean, and he was awesome! He got everyone where they needed to be in more than enough time and impressed all of my bridesmaids with his awesome reversing skills :) We could not have asked for a better driver, or for a better limousine service. From the moment I contacted Byers the experience of figuring out wedding transportation became stress free! I would very highly recommend them!

The Wolfe Islander III is the ferry currently serving between Kingston Ontario and Wolfe Island…read more(Ontario) a 20 minute ride. It can hold approximately 55 cars, and is end-loading. It's the only public access to Wolfe Island, the vessel operates as a free ferry which mean no toll for the end user, but someone must be paying the bills - I applaud the Canadians who so willingly have been paying the more than 6.1 million dollars a years to keep this beautiful 7.1 million dollar vessel operating for more than 40 years to ferry the 1400 residents of Wolfe Island to and from work. It's simple math and these are estimates of course are based on the average operating cost I found after extensive research sort of. Vessel Initial Cost 7.1 million dollars Operating Cost per year 6.1 millions dollars x 40 years = $244,000,000 Total Estimated Cost $251,100,000 or $179,000 per resident over the 40 years that the Wolfe Islander III has been operating. I've been to Wolfe Island it's beautiful they have great pastries, hayfields and 88 windmills, couldn't they have built a bridge by now? The Island is approximately 48 square miles the ferry schedule requires about 23,506 round trip crossings a year transporting 717,954 vehicles, 1,716,816 passengers, 13,605 motor bikes and 21,971 bicycles. A $5.00 toll each way per vehicle would net almost $1,400,000 a year after expenses and probably greatly reduce the traffic, this doesn't take into account walk-ons.. Just as a comparison to cross Long Island Sound from Bridgeport, CT to Port Jeff, NY on the ferry is $56 each way with one passenger. I know everything isn't about money but common sense should at least be a consideration this is a big beautiful boat weighing in at more than 890 tons loaded - traveling at 18 knots it's a awesome ride I hope to do it again soon the price is definitely right....

First-time sightseers like me to this beautiful university town of 125,000 at the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway will want to get ready to hop-on, hop-off at any one of the eight trolley stops. I stepped-off at Fort Henry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a quick visit to the strategic stronghold with a great view of Kingston, the Royal Military College of Canada and parts of Wolf Island. Unfortunately, my whirlwind tour of Kingston didn't allow me to take advantage of any other great stops like Canada's Penitentiary Museum or beautiful Kingston City Hall--those would have been my two first choices. Pick a stop, hop-off and head anywhere on foot in this very walkable community. But my limited time for a more focused day is why good narration is so important. The bright red trolleys are commanded by tour guides with expert knowledge of the town so you'll get all sorts of historical insight and factoids that leave you in-the-know. They also use pre-recorded narration for some tour segments with several popular foreign languages available via headset. My tour guide was a town native and part time jazz singer whose musical voice and pleasant style offered lively insight into, among others, "The Tragically Hip Way," the "Singing Bridge" as well as the colorful Sir Johnny MacDonald, a Scottish emigre to Kingston and Canada's first prime minister. She also provided an array of dining tips as we scooted down bustling Princess St. lined with period buildings. I was seated in a trolley that had two large open sides which allowed unobstructed photography. I really enjoyed this delightful tour and the price was right. Surface parking by the hour or day is available within easy walking distance. Restrooms are located in the basement of the ticket office that also doubles as a souvenir shop.
