Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Shame BA kept us on the tarmac for 4 hours at Heathrow without anything but a small plastic cup of water and then disembarked us all to a fairly chaotic dispersion to a rather grotty IBIS hotel until a flight the next day but that wasn't your fault!
Always helpful, polite, caring and knowledgeable
Second time just as fulfilling as the first.
I don't know what I would do without you. I recommend you to everyone!
Colin was great and got us a brilliant flight.
Service is brilliant. Appreciated the call before we left just to check we were happy with everything and that we had all our documents. Always recommend Noah. My go to company.
Michael Millward went above and beyond to facilitate a last-minute trip to New York and Miami. Could not be more impressed and could not recommend more highly!
Very happy with the service I received and extremely impressed with Alamo car hire which was booked for us
Excellent as always!
Excellent customer service. Have never been disappointed.
What can I say but perfect. Thank you.
Could not ask for any more support from the team dealing with my flights. Excellent.
I phoned several times after booking my flight for information. On every occasion I was answered promptly and dealt with professionally and in a friendly, helpful way. I have used your company a few times now
Consistently great service
Nadia brilliant as ever. Very efficient, very professional. Really helpful in achieving value for money.
Always good service
Wayne is very, helpful, knowledgeable, approachable and is able to guide us to the right places. I would recommend him to all my friends
I have been so impressed with DialAFlight! Elliott was incredibly helpful throughout and we got an excellent quote for what turned out to be an incredible holiday.
Fantastic service all the time from Neil Frost and his team
You are our go-to travel agents!
Very good service - kept us up to date and organised everything quickly. Would recommend. 5 stars
Quality of hotels very good and car hire problem free. Good service and very happy overall
Sorry but was not overall enthralled by the accommodation. Location was good but a very tired hotel unfortunately. I know we only sleep there but could have had better eating facilities, a coffee counter in the morning only and sweets all day.
A first class service which I will use again
All good, Bradley is so efficient and everything went very well. Thank you so much,
Perfect as always
Fantastic reassuring, straightforward advice! Always there when needed and when we were put on standby on the first leg of our journey a panicked phone call from me was quietly reassuring: “ If I was a betting man, I would say you’ll get on.“ Thanks. Terrific.
Gary Patel has been excellent - providing us with a service that is 5 star
Your performance was, as always, excellent. The performance of American Airlines on my return flight from Raleigh Durham was not.
Billy, who I dealt with, was personable and efficient
My plan for my eagerly-anticipated trip to Thailand was - there was no plan. Just three weeks of winter sunshine, island-hopping with a girl pal - a relaxing break from my job as a weather forecaster on ITV.
After flying to Bangkok, we took another plane direct to Krabi on the west of the mainland. There was no time to waste... a beach was waiting.
Railay Bay in Krabi is picture-perfect Thailand and the ideal place to kick off a holiday. Long-tail boats parked in neat rows bobbed along the shoreline with crystal-clear turquoise water lapping at the limestone cliffs. The cliffs are popular with climbers.
I didn't quite muster the courage to scale a sheer rock face in a harness - although we did clamber up a 70-degree slope using just ropes. It was totally worth it.
After the initial steep incline, we found ourselves in rainforest-style terrain with a breathtaking view of the entire peninsula.
The striking white cliffs and dense tropical jungle-style greenery define Krabi.
We drank our body weight in fresh coconut milk and pina coladas in our first couple of days as we acclimatised to our new surroundings and gradually began to relax.
Afternoons were spent deciding where to sunbathe after simple lunches - mostly of satays and papaya salads.
We called the latter 'papaya salad roulette'- as you never knew how spicy it was going to be. Some were well into blow-your-socks-off country.
RELAXING MASSAGE
I lost count of the massages we had, each one leaving me blissfully floppy.
We loved the bars with their boho beanbags, low tables and bamboo terraces overlooking the bay.
We didn't want to leave Railay Bay in Krabi, but we had arranged to head to Phuket to meet up with some ex-pat friends over from Hong Kong.
We stayed at the famous Slate hotel. It's a huge hotel with a choice of three pools surrounded by tropical plants - and even our room came with its own courtyard, plunge pool and outside bathtub.
Nearby, Nai Yang Beach was quiet and unspoilt - a fitting location for sundowners and more popular with locals swinging in their hammocks than tourists.
From Phuket, the hotel arranged our transfers to Koh Lanta via the island of Phi Phi, where we stopped off for the day and hired a long-tail boat to go snorkelling. With just us aboard, our guide tailor-made the whole afternoon and we even found an idyllic little secluded bay for lunch.
We then took a ferry to Koh Lanta. Until I arrived in Koh Lanta I thought I had reached the peak of relaxation - but there it was like stepping back in time, with a slightly hippy vibe.
I saw as many home-made signs for beachside yoga as I did for happy hours. The resort was on the edge of Phra-Ae Beach, home to a string of rustic restaurants and chilled-out bars.
BEACH BARBECUES
Beach barbecues became an evening ritual - barefoot, still in our sundresses, bikinis and smelling of sun cream. I'm sure all this made the freshly-barbecued fish and local Singha beer taste even better.
For a change of scenery we took a tuk tuk to nearby Long Beach - three miles of soft sand fringed by shady tall pine trees. The shade was something we were craving after going out on paddle-boards in the strong late-afternoon sunshine.
I'd only paddle-boarded once before but the still, clear waters of the Andaman Sea were the ideal place to get into the swing of it. After a very floppy few days in Koh Lanta, it was time to mentally prepare ourselves to head back to London life, via Bangkok.
BUZZING BANGKOK
Bustling Bangkok was an assault on the senses at first after so much relaxation. But Hotel Muse couldn't have suited us better. In a brilliant location, it was a calm sanctuary in the craziness of Bangkok's streets. Our suite was huge, with the comfiest beds.
Someone had suggested we go to a club called Sing Sing - it's one of the best I've ever been to, buzzy and with friendly staff. With espresso martinis in hand, we made friends from all over the world.
I already plan to go back to meet them there again.
