I'll never use Park 'n Fly again. Got boned twice at the one at Pearson -- the shuttle was extremely laggard both times, but on the second occasion the driver was late AND missed the stop I was at (and there were other people there too; we all kept looking, saw it coming, then some collective swearing ensued)... I was so late for check-in I had to reschedule to a later flight. This was at the mid-price self-park lot. I should have just braved traffic and snow and walked.

I park at the airport now, in one of the cheaper sections. For trips longer than a week or so, it's better to book a limo especially for more than one person. There used to be an airport express bus from Hamilton but I don't know if it still exists, or if there's a GO bus route that makes the connection from here. The UPX/GO train/self-drive combo is useful and has a reasonable cost, but just takes so damn long for my journey (not as long as Neal Page's trip home, but relatively speaking it seems so... and the film is probably shorter than the real-life trip-chain even with peak period express trains).
