The honest answer to when you should fly Dakar to Kochi is mostly about weather and demand at the far end. On three years of daily observations at the arrival airport, Jan-Feb, Nov-Dec gives the most comfortable combination of temperature and rainfall in Kochi.
Averages below come from three full years of daily readings at Kochi’s main airport, not from a seasonal generalisation. The warmest month is February (average high 35°C), the coolest is January (average low 22°C), and the wettest is May (750 mm).

Kochi runs 5.5 hours ahead of Dakar. Travelling east is the harder direction to adjust to, so if the trip is short, an early departure that lands in daylight is worth more than a marginally cheaper overnight.
We publish observed fares for this route when we have them, and say nothing when we do not — there is no estimate on this page. What holds regardless of the route:
Midweek departures are consistently cheaper than Friday and Sunday on most routes, because that is where demand sits rather than because of any pricing trick. Where we have observed fares for Dakar–Kochi, the weekday breakdown appears further down this page; where we do not, we leave it out rather than estimate it.
