Finding affordable airfare depends heavily on when you travel and how early you reserve your seat. Industry fare trends show that travellers usually find lower Dakar fares during off-peak months and when booking several weeks in advance.



For the best savings:



Book at least 5 to 8 weeks before departure

Choose midweek flights for lower fare options

Travel during March, May or September for better pricing

Avoid Christmas, New Year and Eid rush periods

Ask Falcon Flights for fare alert updates



Early planners usually enjoy better seat availability and lower return ticket combinations.



How Long is the Flight from the UK to Dakar?



Most UK to Dakar flights are one-stop services with total travel times depending on airline and transit city.



Approximate journey times:



London to Dakar: 8 to 11 hours

Manchester to Dakar: 10 to 13 hours

Birmingham to Dakar: 9 to 12 hours



Direct flights are limited, therefore many passengers travel via cities such as Istanbul, Casablanca, Paris, Brussels or Lisbon before arriving in Dakar.



Despite one stop, these routes remain smooth and commonly used by both leisure and business travellers.
