Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We have used DialAFlight for a few years now never had a problem - thank you so much
I was recommended to you and was really pleased with the aircraft, the cost, the spacious seats and staff. I will be booking again real soon.
Only hotel that did not meet expectations was Si No Como
Billy is so helpful - have recommended to many people. Always happy with our trips
Booked party of 10 to Mexico. Great work by Elliott. Got us a great price, prebooked all the seats and great communication. Highly recommended
My transit in Miami on the way back was a little tight. I ended up sprinting the length of Miami airport whilst last calls were being issued. Pleased to say I made it though. Other than that all flights were exactly as promised although there was a noticeable drop in standard on American Airlines compared to BA.
Fantastic service once again
Darren was excellent
Jane was able to transfer our flights so we could fit in my friend's wedding in Phoenix en route to Mexico. She also booked our seats on all 3 flights which made the whole journey so much better. She is a star!
Great service as always
Philippa was on point as usual, thanks
All went exceptionally smoothly and brilliant value for money
Justin went over and beyond to help.
I was kept up to date with everything I needed to know in good time
Bradley, as always, was brilliant.
Alfie at DialAFlight is great. Loved every holiday I have booked and they have all gone so smoothly.
Jack always looks after us well
Tony Judge was always on hand to support and answer questions. He made the booking of our honeymoon and the trip itself go super smoothly
An amazing holiday and Jake again delivered on every request. Would recommend to everyone
Great flights, great airlines and good value
Used you before, always been hassle free!
Kieran was excellent at arranging our trip
Timely updates from my appointed agent meant that I was kept aware of any changes to the bookings I had made. A courtesy call just prior to travelling was a nice touch. All in all 100% satisfied with the service.
Once again excellent, trouble free travel. There is little point in checking every website - one phone call to Eric and the job is done. Thanks again
Always excellent and thorough service.
As always, excellent service from Dominic and our holiday was superb.
It's very reassuring to know that if something goes wrong with my trip there's someone I can call to help sort it out.
A well planned touring holiday, all the connections worked well resulting in a very enjoyable holiday. Thanks to Michelle Dooler for putting it together
When return flight was cancelled I couldn’t fault Roger for sorting a flight asap.
The business class flight service with BA on the return was an embarrassment to our national airline. If I have a choice in the future I will not fly with them.
There are many beautiful, majestic tombs, from the Taj Mahal in Agra, to the Pantheon in Paris, to the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. Then there's the tomb of Fredric J. Baur.
Mr Baur was the proud inventor of the Pringles can and his ashes are buried in one in the suburban cemetery of Springfield, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Pringles mini-mausoleum of Mr Baur (1918-2008) tells you something about his home town.
It's a quirky, diverting place. It's also a brawny, historic, sometimes handsome, deeply American city of 2.2million friendly people. What's more, it's just become super-accessible thanks to a new direct British Airways route.
The first thing a traveller should learn is that the city is divided, physically, emotionally and politically, by the grand Ohio River. On the south you're actually in Kentucky, even if it feels like you're in a suburb.
In the early 19th century, this gulf twixt Ohio and Kentucky was huge, because Kentucky was a slave state and Ohio 'free'.
Slaves would sometimes flee across the river — a drama reimagined via impassioned murals on the southshore riverside by the prettily antique iron Roebling bridge. Check out the excellent Freedom Museum. Hugely sobering, seriously moving.
Otherwise, southside is great for sightseeing — and fun. It harbours some of Cincinnati's loveliest 'burbs, like Covington, where you'll find a refurbed Victorian pleasure zone.
Called Mainstrasse, in honour of the first impoverished German migrants, it is now chocka with beer gardens, restaurants, ice cream cafes, tattoo parlours and a bar — Cedar — that does the world's most satisfying Bloody Marys, which come complete with a king prawn garnish. You're meant to have them with brunch. Some might conclude they actually are brunch.
Southside is also where you'll find the best bourbon (for which Kentucky is famous, along with bluegrass and horses).
An example is the New Riff distillery. Take a tour, sit down for a tasting and finish by filling your own bottle of the good stuff.
Then retire to a great southside hotel, like the Covington (a restored 1900s department store) and have dinner at Bouquet, a block away with its succulent wagyu meatballs and pink-perfect Maple Farm duck.
Now it's time to head north, between the soaring stadiums that oversee the river like mighty fortresses: here are the homes of the famous Cincinnati Reds in baseball and the almost-as-famous Bengals for football.
If you want an authentic Cincinnati experience, buy a ticket for a game — the entire riverfront throbs with life, laughter and excellent craft lager (the city has 50 breweries) when the teams are in town.
Chunks of central Cincinnati are your standard American downtown, but there are still multiple gems. Head to Over-the-Rhine, another historic, boozy, gritty yet up-and-coming quarter named for German migrants. It's like Shoreditch meets boho Berlin with more hot dogs and some fine boutique hotels, such as Symphony, whose name denotes the grandiose music hall next door.
Not far away you'll find Findlay, a pretty, engaging, iron-roofed Victorian food market. This is a good place to try the famous, or infamous, Cincinnati chilli, which is spaghetti covered with chilli covered with cold shreds of cheddar with added cumin, vinegar, chocolate and perhaps several frankfurters. Go on, give it a go.
Where next? If you want, after your weekend in surprising Cincinnati, you could tour the rest of America — being so central, it's an ideal base for American road trips.
Alternatively, if you desire something eccentric yet entertaining, go to the American Sign Museum — a seven-buck Uber ride from downtown. It sounds boring but it's brilliant in a pure Americana-in-neon way. And it's unique, as befits the town that buried the Pringles guy in a Pringles tin.
