Budget $112 for DCA–YYZ — fares cluster tightly below $115

Key takeaways

• Median fare is $112, with the middle 50% of all snapshots falling between $111 and $114 — an unusually tight band.
• The low end is $92 — outlier-level pricing that appeared in our 30-day window but should not be assumed repeatable.
• The high of $215 is a real ceiling risk: the spread of 134% signals that prices can spike sharply outside the normal cluster.
• P25–P75 spread is just $3, meaning most days the cheapest available fare barely moves — don't wait for a dramatic dip that likely won't come.
• No dominant carrier was identifiable in the data, so shopping across all operators on this short-haul corridor remains the safest strategy.

The full picture

Washington Reagan to Toronto Pearson is a short international hop — under 400 miles — and the fare data reflects that: 75% of the 30 daily cheapest-fare snapshots landed between $111 and $114. That $3 interquartile range is remarkably compressed and tells you that, for most of the booking window we observed, this route was priced like a commodity. If you see anything at or below $112, you are already in the heart of what the market has been offering.

The headline spread figure of 134% is not a contradiction — it is a warning about the tails. The low of $92 represents genuine bottom-end pricing that appeared at least once, but the high of $215 shows that availability or timing can push fares nearly double the median. The practical implication: the window during which low fares exist appears narrow and can close abruptly. Given how flat the interquartile range is, the evidence favors booking promptly once you see a fare near $112 rather than speculating on a further dip toward the $92 floor.

Because the data does not surface a dominant carrier on this route, no single airline pricing pattern can be cited with confidence. This corridor is served by carriers including Air Canada and United codeshare options, and fares at this price point are typically basic-economy products with restricted flexibility. One honest caveat: 30 snapshots represent a single rolling window and do not capture seasonal variation — fares around U.S. or Canadian holiday periods may sit materially above the $112 median observed here.
