I don't know exactly where you live, but for many people in the deep south that live close to the 22x, the quickest way to the Airport will likely be up Stoney Trail on the east side, and then West on Airport Trail to the airport, through the tunnel. This would especially be true when Deerfoot is backed up with traffic. The route will only be a km or 2 longer then Deerfoot, which would easily be made up for if there is any kind of backup on Deerfoot.
