Deal of the Day: New York/Baltimore to Dakar, Senegal, for $2,200 round-trip on Air Senegal (BUSINESS CLASS) for Winter 2022 dates (RARE):
I can’t remember the last time I saw business class deals to the continent for under $2,500. Many round-trip flights to West Africa can cost as much as $3,500 round-trip, so this is an extremely rare deal.
The flights are operated on Air Senegal’s A330 and all legs have lie-flat seats. What’s really interesting about this deal is that the connecting flight from BWI to JFK is also operated by Air Senegal.
This deal works all across West Africa to Abidjan, Banjul, and Conakry.
