Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Very friendly staff
Amazing, thank you Courtney!
Thank you Rebecca Wilkie
All good as promised and helpful Mr Harvey
Ewan understood our requirements clearly and put together an excellent itinerary. We'll be coming back - once we've saved up!
The flight from London to Manchester was rescheduled by BA as not enough time in between flights.
The itinerary worked perfectly.. some delays of course (as ever) but good flights and seats. Virgin Dreamliner excellent
The attention to detail you get from the staff is amazing. Knowing you have 24/7 back up is very reassuring. Many thanks to Amy and the team for everything. They are always there to help.
When our Air Tahiti flight was cancelled you moved us to Air France quickly and helpfully. Many thanks!
So helpful and efficient and your app is great too!
Excellent work
I recommend you all the time
The trip was amazing and all the flights worked perfectly
Awesome. Just excellent
All went very well
Very good service = been using this for my last three trips aboard and will use them again
Nicole and her team were wonderful! She went to such great lengths to find suitable flights and then willingly helped me with so many issues over the formal requirements. I honestly couldn't have made this trip without her. Always a cheerful and calming voice on the other end of the line when I was on the verge of panic. I can't thank her enough!
All in all, my trip went well. Mission accomplished. Thank you and looking forward to book again in the future.
Grant is a great asset to your company and has been helping us holiday since 2012.
Very good service. Thanks to Jessica and Howard and the rest of the team.
Good experience
Brilliant holiday in Bora Bora and Tahiti!
We were delighted with everything DialAFlight did, from the original organisation and booking to changing flights because of the coronavirus outbreak and alerting us to floods in New Zealand that affected our plans. Brilliant from start to finish and special thanks to Marco who went above and beyond to help and advise. I would definitely recommend DialAFlight.
I’m all in favour of security checks but we had to stand in a queue of about 1000 people at LA to get through immigragtion. Of the 44 kiosks available 2 were in use initially which went up to 6 after 1 1/2 hours as they returned from lunch. One airport I will definitely avoid in the future.
Whole trip went well apart from both Air NZ flights being delayed. Thankfully it did not cause any problems.
Toby was very helpful and picked lovely hotels. Made our honeymoon memorable.
Jake was so helpful and he helped us with a payment plan. I would highly recommend your service to our friends.
Jamie was excellent and very responsive to my queries.
Samuel was very helpful, our holiday was great.
Reece was very helpful and professional. I will definitely use DialAFlight again - excellent
Some parts of Thailand have a reputation for noisy tourists, cheap hostels and wild bachelor parties - but all that’s changing, thanks to celebrity power. Many are making it their destination of choice.
Kate Moss has been there frequently (she prefers the white sanded beaches of Phuket), Bear Grylls has bought a villa there, and Blake Lively, Beyonce and Jay Z are also semi-regulars.
Not to mention the entire Kardashian family who set up camp back when Caitlyn was still Bruce at the posh new Inlala resort in villas that ran around $150,000 per week.
Indeed, at the moment, visionary hoteliers are finding unspoiled spots to create getaways that offer a level of luxury and style that feels very new for a place that's been a tourist attraction for a very long time.
Thailand is getting a luxury makeover, and it's the right time to find some incredible places to stay.
PANACEA KOH SAMUI
The first is Panacea. On a grassy hilltop overlooking the Gulf of Samui and tropical forests lies Panacea Koh Samui, an extraordinary destination that has reinvented the private villa experience.
Recently opened, Panacea Retreat has already established itself as one of Koh Samui’s most extravagant destinations. Created by a wealthy French businessman who, upon discovering that he could never find exactly what he was looking for when he planned his own family’s holidays, decided to build it himself. It's all about privacy, luxury, and more privacy. Private chefs cook meals in villa and the spa treatments and yoga instructors come to you.
A collection of really stylish and secluded villas all have glass walls to allow as much of the outside in as possible.
Each villa is immense - the smallest is 14,000sqft and the largest 43,000sqft – and every residence includes a minimum of four bedrooms, manicured private gardens and stylish grounds with at least one 20-metre infinity pool.
It’s a bespoke experience - every villa has at least 10 full-time staff assigned to help, so there is never a need that goes unmet. Whether it’s sailing or diving, swimming or lounging, the experience is custom made.
If you want to spend a day just lying at the beach, staff will organise a beach butler to bring along sun loungers and towels, along with champagne on ice and a packed lunch.
KATA ROCKS
Over on Phuket, Kata Rocks is ultra chic and a real game changer for Thailand. It offers a stylish, minimalist vibe with contemporary apartment-sized suites. The stunning spa has private infinity pools, fabulous Andaman sea views and a spectacular cliff-side location.
The hotel is located near Kata, a clean-cut resort town, popular with the yachting crowd, on the south west coast of Phuket. Furnishings are sleek and Italian-made - with white umbrellas shading white sunbeds beside a white-tiled pool.
There are 43 one, two, three and four-bedroom sky villas stacked across the hillside - big, bright and beautiful, they come with fully-fitted kitchens, living and dining areas, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto private infinity pools, each of which is a minimum of seven-metres long.
Private chefs prepare fine dining in the privacy of your villa, celebrity DJ’s playing over brunch and TV’s that come down from the ceiling over the bed. Not to mention a fabulous view from the bathtub.
Their ‘Rock Stars’ are concierges whose job it is to make sure that each and every need is met at all times.
INDIGO PEARL
Last but certainly not least is the incredible Indigo Pearl. This is an ultra stylish, luxury boutique hotel in Phuket designed by American designer Bill Bensley, comprising super-luxe suites and villas with a rather spellbinding industrial-chic décor.
Sea fronted, with lush green gardens everywhere, it oozes a local, authentic almost colonial feel – and every single detail is considered. The Pearl Suites are gorgeous but I recommend the private villas.
Encased within lush walled tropical gardens, there are separate living and sleeping areas in two pavilions, linked by dark timber decking dotted with exotic blooms and frangipani trees.
Sunloungers and day-beds abound, and with a private pool, bar, dining room, Jacuzzi, spa, sauna, steam room and a 24-hour butler service, there’s little reason to leave. There is also the Coqoon Spa - a must-try for all spa enthusiasts.
The spa has to be seen to be believed and consists of multiple luxurious spa suites called 'The Nests' - huge spherical structures seemingly suspended in mid-air.
The treatments are incredibly luxurious with purple frangipani oils, jasmine essence and native Andaman elixirs that work magic.
