Travellers reach Senegal from 2 African airports on 2 catalogued routes, flown by Royal Air Maroc, Air Senegal. This corridor sits in the intra-Africa + Gulf hub transit corridor. The tables below list every catalogued route, the carriers on it, and — where our cache has data — the lowest USD fare seen; all fares are quoted in USD, with on-the-ground spending in XOF.
Routes to Senegal
2 catalogued corridors reach Senegal from 2 African airports, flown by 2 carriers and totalling about 14 weekly departures, with block times from 2.8 h to 3.8 h. 0 of them run fewer than seven times a week, the line where a cancellation starts costing days rather than hours.
| Route | Carriers | Freq/wk | Block (h) | Market low (USD) | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casablanca (CMN) → Dakar (DSS) | AT, HC | ~7 | ~3.8 | $599 | guide |
| Accra (ACC) → Dakar (DSS) | HC | ~7 | ~2.8 | $1,049 | guide |
Every corridor here runs at least daily on our estimates, which makes Senegal unusually forgiving of disruption by African standards: a cancelled flight is normally a same-day or next-morning wait rather than a lost week. That resilience is worth more than a small fare saving on any trip with a fixed commitment at the far end.
Weekly frequency here is our catalogue’s estimate for each corridor as a whole rather than a published timetable for one airline, and it moves with the seasonal schedule change. Block times are scheduled gate-to-gate for the nonstop sector, so a much longer duration on a booking screen means a connection. Both figures are our own estimates, last revised 2026-05-19.
Airlines flying to Senegal
2 carriers fly the corridors into Senegal covered here; for the 2 we hold details on, checked-baggage baselines are 23 kg, and 1 of them belong to a global alliance. Baselines are economy figures and depend on the fare family you buy.
Carriers operating the catalogued routes to Senegal, with alliance, baggage baseline and any diaspora or pilgrim baggage uplift:
| Airline | Alliance | Checked baggage | Diaspora uplift | Hajj/Umrah charter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Air Maroc (AT) | Oneworld | 23 kg | +23 kg | Yes |
| Air Senegal (HC) | None | 23 kg | — | No |
Diaspora and migrant-worker baggage uplift recorded against these carriers: Royal Air Maroc +23 kg. Three exclusions normally apply to promotions of this kind: they attach to nominated corridors rather than the whole network, they are rarely honoured on another airline’s codeshare or interline segment, and the deepest-discount fare buckets are usually carved out. Confirm against your own booking class in writing.
Alliance membership on the Senegal corridors — Oneworld (1) — matters most when something goes wrong. On one ticket, an alliance partner can usually take a disrupted passenger without a new fare and bags stay through-checked; across alliances that becomes a commercial favour. Two separate tickets remove the protection entirely, whatever the alliance.
Visa & entry — Senegal
This page does not state an entry requirement for Senegal, because the rule depends on your passport. Check Senegal’s own immigration or foreign-ministry guidance for your nationality before booking — it is the only authority worth acting on.
Visa requirements for Senegal vary by passport. Check Senegal’s official immigration or foreign-ministry guidance for your nationality before booking. On-the-ground currency: XOF.
Nationality changes this answer. The row above names the passports it covers; a traveller on a West African, East African or North African passport not named there can face a different fee, a different processing route or outright ineligibility for the same Senegal entry class.
The trap on a Senegal itinerary is usually the transit rather than the destination. A connection can place you airside in a third country that requires a transit visa for your nationality even when you never leave the terminal, and the airline checks documentation for the entire itinerary at the origin gate. Check every country your ticket touches, against your own passport.
When to book
Book 4-8 weeks ahead. Treat that window as general guidance for travel into Senegal rather than a rule for a single pairing; on thin corridors seat availability binds before price does.
Book 4-8 weeks ahead. Fares rise around the December holidays; mid-week departures are usually the cheapest. See each per-route guide for month-by-month fare seasonality.
Treat the window as a function of the schedule rather than a rule. Dense corridors into Senegal keep releasing inventory, so a late booking costs money but still works. Thin ones sell their cheap buckets months ahead and then simply run out, which is a different failure — one that no amount of refreshing a search will fix.
There are two different problems here and they have opposite answers. With flexible dates, scan a whole month — the seasonal spread in our own fare log is wider than any difference between one gate and another. With dates locked by a pilgrimage, a school term or a job start, searching is wasted effort and buying early is the only lever left.
Cached fares to Senegal
$599 is the lowest USD quote our cache holds on any corridor into Senegal — on CMN-DSS — out of 2 priced corridors of the 2 catalogued. Each is one cached observation on its own corridor, in economy, not a low across the cache.
Lowest USD fares in our weekly Travelpayouts cache on routes to Senegal (market lows across all carriers, each a dated observation; check live prices before booking):
| Corridor | Market low (USD) | Cheapest month seen |
|---|---|---|
| CMN-DSS | $599 | $211 in Jan 2027 |
| ACC-DSS | $1,049 | $515 in Nov 2026 |
| Corridor | Readings | Cached range (USD) | Cheapest week |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACC-DSS | 5 | $983–$1,074 | 2026-W24 |
Those rows come from our weekly fare log, which samples the cheapest published quote once a week across 161 corridors. Each reading is a single snapshot rather than an average of everything sold that week, so a one-week dip can be one small fare bucket. What the range does establish is a defensible floor: a live quote far above the top of the range on a Senegal corridor is worth a second search on flexible dates.
Departure airports for Senegal
2 African airports have a catalogued corridor to Senegal on this site: Accra (ACC) and Casablanca (CMN). Fares from every one of them are quoted in USD so the origins stay comparable. Positioning between African gateways is cheap relative to the long-haul sector, so the fare gap between two origins to one destination is regularly wider than the positioning ticket.
-
Accra airport (ACC) — Kotoka International, Ghana: 11 catalogued departure corridors and 3 arrival corridors.
-
Casablanca airport (CMN) — Mohammed V International, Morocco: 17 catalogued departure corridors and 0 arrival corridors.
Gateway choice is a real lever on this continent. Positioning to a larger hub can open a nonstop where your local airport only offers a connection, and the fare difference between two African origins to the same Senegal destination is regularly wider than the cost of the positioning sector. The catch is the ticket: unless both sectors are issued together, a delay on the positioning flight is your problem alone.

Three checks make results comparable. Fix passenger count and cabin before comparing, because a per-passenger fare and a total look identical on a results page. Read the elapsed time next to the price — a one-stop routing into Senegal and a nonstop are different products. And check whether the fare includes the checked bag you will actually carry.
Search a whole month rather than a single date where you can. Our weekly fare log shows movement between departure months on these corridors that dwarfs the difference between one booking gate and another, so a flexible-date search does more work than five rigid ones. Where dates cannot move, book earlier instead.
