Distance and time SFO–YYZ
Great-circle distance SFO–YYZ is about 2,254 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 5 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
Toronto is about 3 hours ahead of San Francisco on standard time (America/Los_Angeles vs America/Toronto). Arrival clocks on YYZ are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
When SFO–YYZ has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
Airports for San Francisco to Toronto
You depart San Francisco International in San Francisco, United States, and arrive at Toronto Pearson International in Toronto, Canada. SFO is the origin code we use on this guide; YYZ is the arrival code. If you need a visa or an ESTA, that is between you and the destination government — Azurovia does not ticket and does not process immigration.
SFO is the only origin code we list in this metro. YYZ is the arrival code we treat as primary for Toronto. A cheaper nearby airport only wins if the transfer still fits your plan. Search with “include nearby airports” when you want those codes in one results list.
