Book a direct flight between Dakar and Abidjan

This route links two of West Africa's largest economies. Whether you're headed to Abidjan for trade, an ECOWAS summit, or to visit the Plateau business district, 3 airlines compete on the corridor, including nonstop options with Air Peace and Air Sénégal.

You leave from Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS), roughly 47 km from central Dakar, budget an hour for the transfer. In Abidjan, Félix-Houphouët-Boigny Airport (ABJ) sits close to Cocody and the Plateau, so you're downtown quickly. Mauritania Airlines also serves the route with a connecting stop.

Fares start at 136,000 XAF. The year-end travel rush and major religious holidays (Tabaski, Korité) push prices up sharply. For a cheaper ticket, book for Monday, 6 Apr 2026 and consider mid-week departures.

Direct flights land in about 2h40min. Connecting itineraries, usually via Nouakchott — tack on several hours but can knock 20–30% off the fare. Ease Travel shows you both options with real prices so the trade-off is transparent.
