There was an announcement in November that United will end Dakar, Senegal service on March 5, 2026. I wanted to try and get on the flight before it went away and started searching in February for a potential trip but was unable to find availability. I even looked on the flight’s originally scheduled final date, and found no availability. It turns out, the furthest out date I could find was January 31, 2026.

United seems to be quietly ending this flight earlier than they originally announced. This is a disappointing development and I’m sure a bit of a shock to folks who were looking to book the flight into early March.

Update: I have spoken to a few people who had reservations to Dakar on United in February and those reservations have been updated to remove the non-stop and show partner connecting flights instead.
