Cheapest SFO-YGK base fares are 472 / N/A / 1324 (no PY fares at all).
So in Y, it's debatable whether a flight, UPX, and VIA are worth it, given the hassle. But maybe. For J, you could probably take a limo for that difference.
And this fare difference is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than I expected, given what it was last time I looked it up (I seem to recall them not even having a published fare for SFO-YGK at one point, meaning you'd have to combine).
Some of my high school friends and their families did just that back then for their winter vacations down south. Took a limo to YYZ.
