For international, you start looking right away but don't buy before 3 1/2 months out. I just bought tickets for Germany at the end of May, and they have been rising ever since.

By the way, be sure to to to Icelandair and compare prices with the others. They are often the cheapest and are not included in sites like Orbitz or Kayak.
