IMO, there is none. Every alternative road isn't very big, and will be nearly at capacity on a normal day.
I'll play:

-Exit 32nd Ave westbound
-head west until 4th St NW
-head north on 4th St NW
-west on 64th Ave
-north on 14th St
-east on Country Hills Blvd
-south on Barlow
-Airport road to terminal

In rush hour I figure that would probably take about an hour or so. By no means an easy shortcut though.
