DKR-CDG fares climb around the European summer — when the Senegalese community travels home in large numbers — and the December holidays. With two carriers competing, the route is well supplied — for the peaks, booking two to three months ahead is sensible; outside them, four to seven weeks usually secures a workable economy fare in USD.
