The African airline Air Senegal launched flights from its capital of Dakar to Baltimore on Thursday. The unique route includes a layover in New York before continuing on to Baltimore, but most Americans cannot fly the domestic leg.

As of September 2, Air Senegal will fly twice weekly between its country's capital of Dakar to Baltimore in the US.


The route will operate on Thursdays and Sundays and include a short layover at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in both directions, according to the airline. Here's the schedule (all times are local):

Depart Dakar at 1:30 a.m. and arrive in New York-JFK at 6:00 a.m.

Depart New York-JFK at 8:30 a.m. and arrive in Baltimore at 10:00 a.m.

Depart Baltimore at 8:25 p.m. and arrive at New York-JFK at 9:55 p.m.

Depart New York-JFK at 11:55 p.m. and arrive in Dakar at 12:25 p.m. the next day

Passengers who fly Air Senegal between Baltimore and Dakar will have to spend two to two and a half hours in New York in each direction, meaning Air Senegal is tapping into its Eighth Freedom rights.
