If you are visiting Senegal’s magnificent Lake Retba, it would be advisable to book a flight to Blaise Diagne International Airport. From here, you will need a taxi service to get to the lake. This is because, for one, a part of the road towards Lake Retba is unpaved and has no road signs. Drivers offering taxi services in the area are familiar with the roads and can orient themselves efficiently. You can still consider using Senegalese public transport.
There are two main international airports in Senegal. These include Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) and Leopold Sedar Senghor Airport (DKR). Both airports are in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. However, since 2017 when the Blaise Diagne Airport was opened and took over international passenger flights, Leopold Sedar Senghor Airport mainly handles international cargo flights.
No, they do not. At the moment, Senegalese authorities no longer require US citizens to obtain a visa for stays less than 90 days. However, if you are planning to stay longer, you will need to obtain a visa for the stay. This can be done at either the Embassy of Senegal in Washington, D.C., or at the Senegalese Consulate, New York.
There are several places to visit in Zinguinchor, the main town of the Casamance region. The best way to travel from the airport to these places is by rental car. Though Zinguinchor Airport has no onsite rental counters, there are rental car agencies near the airport. The agencies can drop your car at the airport after making an online reservation.
Yes, there are. However, in the United States, you should note that the only airport where you can find such flights to Dakar is JFK New York. The direct journey will take approximately 7h 30min. The only airlines offering this service, however, are Delta Airlines and Air Senegal.
Saint Louis is an old town on Senegal’s northwest coast renowned for its colonial architecture. You can get a domestic flight from Blaise Diagne Airport to Saint-Louis Airport (XLS) to visit the town. The airport is approximately 7.5 miles from the city center and has several ground transportation alternatives to comfortably get you there.
Regulations governing luggage might vary from one airline to the other. Additionally, for some airlines such as Air Senegal, the number and weight of luggage allowed depends on the class you are traveling in. Therefore, you will be required to pay an extra fee for luggage that surpasses your free luggage allowance. Additionally, checking in the luggage has been made easier for you thanks to the online checking system. However, some essential luggage such as baby bags is allowed on board. Children are typically allowed a baggage allowance equal to adults.
There are two bus services from Blaise Diagne Airport to the city center. Aerobus offers express routes seven times daily from the airport to the city center. Dakar Dem Dikk has a bus leaving every thirty minutes from the airport to the city center. A ride with Dakar Dem Dikk will take longer than one on Aerobus, but it is cheaper.
Unfortunately, there is no dedicated workspace at the Blaise Diagne Airport. Nonetheless, if you want to quickly catch up on work before leaving the airport, you can do so at one of two lounges; Odysee Lounge next to gate 1 on the departures level and Salon Infinite near gate 1. These lounges have scanners, printers, computers, Wi-Fi, and scanners to support your work.
Though Senegal is a primarily Muslim country, female visitors do not have to cover their hair, shoulders, knees, and heads when leaving the airport in most places. In large cities and villages, most of the local ladies do not wear hijabs, so you will not disrespect the culture or get into trouble by not covering yourself.

Delta needs to step up the meals and snacks. They have been serving the same two meals for three years.... It is time to change it up.

Not the best crew. Extremely annoying with mask wearing. Even when I was eating and drinking they would come up to you to tell you to wear your mask. Extremely annoying.
Everything could have been better. The food was bad, the service was bad, and the flight staff were not very friendly.
I had surgery on both of my legs in February 2022 and the flight was booked in March. The purpose of booking business class was to have an opportunity to stretch my legs due to the surgery. The flight going and coming was so difficult for me because the seats were broken, I have video and pictures of this horrible flight and a report from my surgeon regarding the this. It is unfortunate that I will have to get a lawyer to get a refund and sue this airline. I have sent them correspondence regarding the incident as well as the Better Business Bureau and they refuse to respond.
After paying for business class, we were given anything but business. They used a rented plan from China that had no inflight entertainment, the seats were broken and besides that, we had a 15-hour layover in Dakar. The same problems existed on the return flight. The flight from New York to Baltimore was the worst, the flight attendance decided to have a personal conversation and I am guessing that because there were only three passengers in business class, that they did not have to give the emergency announcement and proceeded to carry on their personal conversation during the entire flight. Worst travel experience of my life!
First time in my life that i had a 5hrs delay with no agent to give us any explanation...We had a very bad experience with Air Senegal...while Senegal is a nice country to visit but the Air Sénégal airline is very bad in customer service...
normal business seats with sufficient leg room. good food. no entertainment whatsoever
Very comfortable flat bed. Perfect for overnight sleeping. Interesting that a dozen wheel chairs were provided to the elderly that have been walking teh whole evening only for them to board eaely. Made a joke that HC408 stood fo handicapped.
Flat bed !!!! and even free wifi !!! offered in business class. Price was 50% of competition. I came from ABJ and price was the same. Had phantastic fresh ornage juice for breakfast. All flights over the atlantic are like that. The rechecking of luggage and waiting time to go in same plane to BWI was a bit of a pain. Might make more sense to continue travel directly in JFK. For example we arrived early at 6 am in JFK but continuation at 9am and security only opens at 7.30am
This would have been an okay flight, had it not been for the following. At the boarding line they had another line for luggage control of some kind, basically they weighed your carry on luggage together with your personal item together (in my case my backpack), and if it was overweight they asked for 125 euros right then and there. We basically couldn’t board without forking over the 125 euros. It was insane the price. I’ve paid maybe 50 euros in the past for overweight carry ons but 125, more than double is unjust. I flew TAP from Florence to Lisbon and we had no such treatment nor weighing of our carry ons. And then when we flew from Lisbon to JFK, they had a whole line of individuals asking them to fork over the 125 euros. Their weight limitations is considerably low compared to other airlines. Very upset. In addition the bathroom on board had a good amount of water (or maybe even pee) in the bathroom floor. In addition the the garbage slot in the bathroom was over flowing. This was at the start of the flight so it was clear that no one had cleaned the bathroom. In addition they tray tables were also not clean. Mine was covered in a sticky substance and I ended up having to wipe it down myself. I did my best to avoid using the bathroom again during this 7 hour flight. And when I told the stewardess of the bathroom, she said it wasn’t their job to clean the bathroom, which could be true I guess. You would think an airline was more sanitary especially after COVID. Would Not fly TAP again and do not recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.
Old planes that are not being maintained with at least basic cleaning. Plane smells awful, bathrooms not cleaned either. Customer service probably one of the worst I have experienced.
I thought it was great because the seats were really comfortable for the long flight. The food was just ok, and could have been a bit better.
