Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
Note: there is an airport in Kitchener, but it is quite small and the flights there tend to be very expensive. Toronto Pearson will have much cheaper flights, and from there it is only an hour drive to Kitchener. You can either rent a car, or book a shuttle with Airways Transit. You can also take a bus or train from the airport to Kitchener, but it will take longer and is less convenient.
If you are taking the train, you will need to get to Toronto Union Station and then transfer to a train to Kitchener. Book online with Via Rail.
If you are taking a bus, you will also have to stop in Toronto and then transfer to a bus or train to Kitchener. If you take the bus, DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES get the ticket that says Bramalea Kitchener. The Bramalea Station is on the Kitchener line, but it will not take you to Kitchener. It will take you to a hub where you have to transfer again to get to Kitchener, and will likely add hours to your trip. ONLY get the bus that is DIRECT from Toronto to Kitchener. I speak from experience.
