Flights to Reykjavik - Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is the best time to visit Reykjavik ?
The best time to visit Reykjavik (KEF) for mild weather and long days is June to August, when average daytime temperatures reach around 12–15 °C and daylight can stretch close to 24 hours at midsummer. These summer months suit outdoor sightseeing, day trips to the Golden Circle and whale‑watching cruises, with most tours and services operating at full strength. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) bring cooler temperatures and fewer visitors, giving a quieter experience while still allowing many key activities. Winter from November to March is much colder, with short daylight hours, but it is the main period for Northern Lights excursions and snowy landscapes around Reykjavik (KEF).

The international airport serving Reykjavik (KEF) is located about 50 km from Reykjavik city center. Travel by airport shuttle bus or coach transfer to the central bus terminal takes about 45 minutes, with services timed around arriving and departing flights. Public bus routes connect the airport with Reykjavik as a slower, more budget‑focused option. Taxis and rental cars follow the main highway between the airport and the city and also take about 45 minutes, depending on traffic and the final drop‑off point.
+ When is the cheapest time to fly to Reykjavik ?
For flights from Canada to Reykjavik (KEF), lower fares cluster in January, May and September, outside the June–August high summer period. These months combine cooler weather and fewer visitors with more budget‑friendly pricing on many departures.

Exact prices still depend on the chosen departure date, Canadian origin airport and cabin class.
+ When is the best time to book flights to Reykjavik ?
For flights from Canada to Reykjavik (KEF), booking around 7 weeks before departure aligns with below‑average fare levels on many dates. For the lowest price bands that appear in the pricing overview, bookings made roughly 25 weeks in advance perform best. Travellers who want specific travel dates or cabins benefit from booking toward the earlier end of this range. Special promotions such as Catch a fly-t deals and last-minute offers can appear outside these periods, but they are not guaranteed for any specific departure.
+ How can I find the best flight deal to Reykjavik from Condor?
To find strong deals on flights from Canada to Reykjavik (KEF), start by checking fares in off‑peak travel months such as January, May and September and comparing prices for different Sundays in those periods. Flex fare with departure dates and Canadian airports, for example considering both Toronto (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR), helps surface lower fares and more connection options via Frankfurt (FRA). Condor uses offer types such as Catch-a-fly-t deals, early booking promotions and last-minute deals to discount specific departures, so watching for these fare labels and acting quickly when a suitable price appears can secure a better deal. Choosing Economy Class instead of a higher cabin and avoiding peak holiday travel weeks further reduces overall trip cost.
