When flights to each destination are cheapest.
- Dakar
- Flights to Dakar are cheapest from late June through early September (Dakar's cooler, drier shoulder season) and again in January after the holiday surge, with savings of roughly 25-35% versus the December peak or February festival period. Flying midweek, Tuesday or Wednesday departures, typically shaves another $50-100 off round-trip fares from North American and European hubs.
