Odyssee Lounge

Dakar's pay-per-visit lounge — any traveller, flat fee, near Gate 1.
The Odyssee Lounge is Dakar's pay-per-visit lounge, sitting airside in the main terminal near Gate 1 after passport control and security. Its appeal is simplicity: it admits any traveller for a flat fee, regardless of class of service or airline, so you don't need airline status or a lounge membership to get in. The space is air-conditioned and comfortable, with Wi-Fi, flight information screens, snacks, soft drinks and a selection of house wine, beer and spirits. It isn't a large flagship lounge — there's no hot buffet or shower suite — but as the one guaranteed pay-in option at DSS, it's the reliable choice for most travellers wanting somewhere quiet before an international departure from Dakar.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable spot for email and light work before a flight, with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. It isn't a dedicated business lounge, but it's comfortable for a laptop session while you wait.

A light food-and-drink offering rather than a full buffet: complimentary snacks alongside soft drinks and a selection of house wine, beer and spirits. There's no hot food, so treat it as somewhere for a drink and a snack before boarding rather than a sit-down meal.
