Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Excellent customer service. Everything went to plan with no problems. I will be back
As usual with DialAFlight everything was excellent
Big thank you to your team who got us home after our first flight of three was cancelled - special thanks to Tristan, Stan and Corrine who went above and beyond.
Connie is brilliant - I recommend her to everyone who travels!
The service we received was excellent, as it's been on each occasion we have used your services. The flights were exactly what we required and the suggestion to make a stop over to get the best price worked out really well. We'll use your services again next time we're making a trip abroad.
Excellent service DialAFlight, thank you very much.
Everything worked out well. No problems at all.
My flight back was cancelled but I was able to ring a 24/7 number where the advisor was very helpful and did her best to get me on the next available flight. Unfortunately, this wasn’t possible as I had already checked in and Qatar Airways wouldn’t let her change it.
Always helpful with quick responses
A truly personal service, you feel like you are being assisted by a friend
Dale was brilliant
I received the usual high quality service from Amy Hibbert that I have been used to over more than 20 years of using DialAFlight
So helpful, efficient but friendly at the same time
DialAFlight says what it does and does what it says. Having used DialAFlight for a number of years, we have had peace of mind knowing that if there is ever a problem they are at the end of a telephone line to help from anywhere in the world.
Many thanks to Raphael in particular, but to the whole team. You helped us out of a very difficult situation and took all the worries away so that we had a stress free and very enjoyable trip. Can't thank you enough.
Exceptional flight with outstanding service and lovely staff. Will book again very soon. And you found us the best deal!
Excellent communication from DialAFlight staff - thanks Harvey.
I've booked with DialAFlight multiple times and have always been very happy dealing with them and getting the best dates and times to suit my requirements. They are always friendly and answer the phone very quickly with no annoying pre recorded messages or push button navigating. They are reliable and you can always phone again to check any concerns.
Deborah was absolutely amazing with her help when I needed flight changes in Dubai due to the flooding. I wouldn’t have got back to the UK so quickly without her.
Becky was my link for the holiday of a lifetime. She did an excellent job of keeping me updated and although we didn’t have to call on her for help it was a big reassurance that someone was there at the end of the phone.
Thank you to Daryll and his team at DialAFlight who allowed me to travel with complete peace of mind!
All the flights were really good. However coming back home from Auckland to Shanghai, I wish I’d been made aware that my suitcase would need to be collected at Shanghai and then rechecked in. It wasn’t a pleasant or particularly easy experience. Anyway it all worked in the end.
You are not to blame for the poor service I received on my business class flights from LHR to AKL via Dubai but I will not be booking Emirates in the future
No issues from your end but Dubai airport and Emirates were very poor as far as communication went during our six and a half hour delay.
Great friendly service. Makes life so much easier using them. They find you exactly want you want in a matter of minutes whereas in the past it's taken me hours
Great service and prompt attention
Great service as usual. Excellent phone pick up, good prices and wonderful advice about which airlines, stopovers and timings.
Zoe always delivers.
Annabelle C is amazing and I'd book again with her!
Lloyd was very helpful at all times
In hindsight, spending my first afternoon in Vietnam pounding the busy city streets, visiting every incense-filled pagoda and finishing at the heaving Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City was a baptism by fire on my first day.
I can’t deny it was a relief when I returned, footsore and weary, to my hotel, the Park Hyatt Saigon - an oasis in that buzzing city.
Huge bouquets of flowers and dazzling chandeliers greeted me in the cool lobby while the luxurious French colonial style rooms featured delightful white wooden shutters and a superbly soft carpet tastefully decorated with a bird motif.
When I woke next morning in the vast and very comfortable bed and delightfully appointed and furnished room I found the whole place exuded relaxation – a feeling that was ramped up when a tiny Vietnamese woman arrived for my massage. She used her knees, elbows and hands to pummel my back. It really was an excellent massage, vigorous but highly relaxing and diffusing knots of tension I hadn't realised I had.
Dinner at the Park Hyatt proved mouthwatering, with salmon tartare, pomello salad, pork with prawn crackers and bread with anchovy tapenade. This was followed by succulent Australian wagyu steak, with puréed potatoes, sweetcorn and asparagus.
Breakfast was also divine and I couldn’t get enough of the buttery croissants and yoghurt with figs.
When the time came to haul myself away from the luxury of the Park Hyatt, and bid farewell to Ho Chi Minh City, I made my way south to the Mekong Delta - a vast maze of rivers, swamps and rice paddies.
I stayed in the city of Can Tho where an absolute must is the floating market which sees traders take to their boats and sell their wares from the middle of the river.
Huge mountains of melons, pineapples and gourds filled the boats while sellers cried out to anyone passing by what they had to offer. Others busied themselves with weighing the fruit or sprucing up their boat with a fresh lick of paint. Some stall holders simply lazed aboard their vessel, gossiping with friends.
The Victoria Can Tho Resort organised the morning’s river tour. Just like the Park Hyatt this hotel was decorated in a colonial style. A bowl of exotic fruits welcomed me upon my arrival, many of which I couldn’t begin to name.
The room looked onto the huge swimming pool in the courtyard below, the fourth ‘wall’ of which was lined with towering palm trees, providing privacy from the gardens and river beyond.
If it’s real escapism you’re after in Vietnam, the island of Phu Quoc is where you want to be – and it’s just a very quick plane ride away.
It boasts breathtaking white sand beaches, a wonderfully temperate sea and dense, tropical jungle – not to mention its world-famous fish sauce.
It’s no wonder that many an A list celebrity including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been drawn to the island’s serene and sparkling shores which offer privacy from the outside world.
I stayed at the divine La Veranda which is right on the sea-front. It feels secluded and peaceful in the resort itself, but venture onto the beach and you'll see bars and eateries up and down the sands blaring out music and attracting relaxed backpackers cradling tumblers of beer, the water lapping at their toes.
La Veranda’s delightful terrace, shaded by palm trees, offered a brilliant view of the picture-postcard seascape, while at night waiters brought out huge flaming torches to light up the restaurant tables set out on the sand.
Before dinner I took a swim in the blue, blue sea and was delighted when the most amazing sunset began to form on the horizon, the sky filled with reds and orange gold.
My trip may have started with a hectic whirl of activity, but this haven of peace and quiet highlighted the incredible contrasts that Vietnam offers.
