Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) is Senegal’s main international gateway, serving most long-haul and regional carriers and functioning as the country’s primary hub for both full-service and low-cost airlines. Located about 50–55 km east of downtown Dakar, it can be reached by express shuttle buses, private taxis and car hires; travel typically takes 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and costs can range from modest shared-bus fares to higher taxi or transfer rates. The facility is modern and geared to international connections, with decent duty-free and lounge options, though the distance from the city center can add extra transit time and cost for late arrivals. For domestic hops, smaller airfields and transfers from the capital may still be used.
Nouakchott–Oumtounsy International (NKC) is Mauritania’s primary international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional flights, with carriers that can include national and a few international airlines. The airport lies about 25–30 km east of the city center, so transfers are usually 30–50 minutes by road depending on traffic. Taxi and private transfer are common — fares can be modest by local standards — while organized hotel shuttles may be available for some passengers. Facilities are basic but functional, making NKC practical for straightforward connections; travelers can expect limited dining and shopping options. Pros: direct international links and simple, quick processing; cons: distance from downtown and limited amenities compared with larger hubs.
