Fly direct from Toronto to Reykjavik with Icelandair from €432 return. The median price sits around €435, so there's little room for bargains. Book soon: prices rise fast on transatlantic routes.
Price and when to book
From €432 return. Prices on this route range between €432 and €435 based on the sample checked. On international routes like this, the earlier you book, the better: 2–3 months ahead locks in the best fares. Avoid buying within 15 days; last seats are expensive.
Airline and direct flights
Icelandair is your only option here, and it's good news: direct flight, no stops. Typical departure from Toronto in the afternoon (19:40 approx.) and arrival at Icelandic dusk (17:00 approx.). Icelandair connects well with domestic flights in Iceland if you need to venture beyond Reykjavik.
Best time to travel
November (like the example) is low season in Iceland: fewer tourists, long nights, and dark landscapes, ideal for chasing the Northern Lights if you're lucky. Prices are lower than summer. Winter is cold (−5 to 0 °C) but magical. For hiking without snow, summer is pricier but reliable.
What to do when you arrive at Keflavík
The airport is 50 km from Reykjavik (30–45 min by bus). From there: visit the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, Snaefellsnes coast, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, Vatnajökull glacier. Rent a car to explore the Ring Road. December is peak for Northern Lights, though October–February all offer chances.
FAQ
Is €432 the final price or are there hidden charges?
€432 is the return price. Always check Icelandair's website to confirm if baggage and seat selection are included: some basic fares charge extras. Factor in airport taxes, but this is the base price.
Is it safe to fly direct Toronto–Reykjavik in November?
Yes, Icelandair flies this route year-round. The North Atlantic in autumn and winter sees more storms, but aircraft and crews are equipped for it. Delays are rare; safety meets international standards.
Is there any way to pay less than €432?
Unlikely: the median sits at €435 and the full sample ranges from €432 minimum. Your best strategy is to book 8–12 weeks ahead. Check Icelandair's website weekly for flash deals.
What should I know about Reykjavik and around it?
Reykjavik is small and walkable, with bars and museums. Most attractions lie outside: the Golden Circle (Þingvellir, Geysir, Skógafoss) makes a day trip. November can be cold and cloudy, but Northern Lights make up for it. Iceland is pricey for dining; shop supermarkets to save.
