Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Sep is the cheapest for YTO → KEF. Best time to be there: Jun–Aug · Feb–Mar (aurora).
Fares bottom out in September around $494 and peak in December near $664 — a $170 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 7.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Air Canada, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $494 for 4,160 km each way, that works out to about $59 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 8 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Reykjavík, this fare ranks 8th — 2.4× the $205 we hold from Rome. For context, the middle fare among the 6 routes of similar length we watch out of Toronto is $457.

YTO → KEF, answered.
Is $494 a good price for Toronto to Reykjavík?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $600 round-trip and this fare is 18% under it, about $106. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Toronto to Reykjavík?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Sep comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Reykjavík are Jun–Aug · Feb–Mar (aurora) — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book YTO → Reykjavík?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Sep comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Toronto to Reykjavík?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air Canada. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
