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
Trailing vines and creepers brush my face as I scramble over tangled roots and fallen logs. The rainforest is hot and steamy, and the only sound is the shrill cries and hoots of birds calling to each other high up in the treetops.
Suddenly I hear a rustle of leaves and look up to spot black faces peering down at us. Vervet monkeys are checking us out before they leap off through the branches and disappear into the dense vegetation.
Earla is leading me along a nature trail at Stonyhill on the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis. Some 3,000ft above us, the summit of the dormant volcano, Nevis Peak, is lost in cloud.
It takes a gruelling five-hour trek to reach it so I have opted for a shorter hike, learning about the healing properties of plants and trees.
As we pick our way across narrow ravines, Earla points out the prickly soursop fruit (anti-carcinogenic) and the creeping charlie ground ivy (good for high blood pressure). She picks up large brown and white leaves lying beneath my feet.
'They are from the trumpet tree,' she explains.
'We make tea with them to cure coughs and colds.'
Nevis itself is quiet and unspoilt but is easily accessible with direct British Airways flights to St Kitts, its larger sister, followed by a short speedboat transfer. The only traffic jams here are caused by herds of sheep and goats.
I am staying at the Nisbet Plantation, a former sugar plantation and the only one situated right on the beach. Its rocky groynes are used as diving boards by pelicans on the lookout for breakfast.
Pretty clapboard cottages are scattered among the palm trees and dinner is served in the Great House, where guests are greeted by Patterson, the flamboyant maitre d', who has a collection of 6,000 ties. Afternoon tea is served on the terrace beside the croquet lawn, and with friendly staff who all address you by name, it is easy to see why guests return time and again.
The ruins of a sugar mill stand at the entrance and the old stone oven is still intact with a plaque in memory of Fanny Nisbet, whom Horatio Nelson met here and eventually married in 1787.
Their wedding took place at the Montpelier Estate, now the deluxe Montpelier Plantation Hotel situated in the mountainous interior, and you can learn more about his life in the Nelson Museum in the capital, Charlestown.
The remains of sugar plantations are dotted across Nevis. The New River Coconut Walk Estate was the last to close in the 1950s and will soon become an open-air museum.
Others have been converted into hotels. My favourite is Golden Rock, which has fantastic gardens and panoramic vistas of neighbouring Monstserrat.
For an authentic Caribbean meal, head to Sunshine's on Pinney's Beach. I opt for spicy jerk chicken with rice and peas, and the owner's signature Killer Bee cocktail. Back at the hotel I flop into a hammock strung between the palm trees.
Most who venture to Nevis also take in the white-sand beauty of big sister St Kitts, which lies just 50 miles - but a breathtaking world away - from the glitzy enclave of Antigua.
Little St Christopher, as it's sometimes called, was the first Caribbean island to be spotted by Columbus and he gave it the name of his patron saint and namesake. Visually, it's a seductive fairytale island of dark forests and cloud-capped mountains, a tiny landmass in a crystal clear sea.
Columbus showed a little more imagination when he named Nevis because he thought the clouds surrounding its peak looked like snow. Its original name was Nuestra Senora de las Nieves (Our Lady of the Snows).
Less touristy than Nevis, St Kitts has a down-to-earth feel and in its quieter spots you're more likely to encounter wildlife than you are humans. There are more monkeys on St Kitts than people. The Green Vervets brought here by the French as pets look cute but they can be tricksy, with thieving a problem.
Key sites on St Kitts include Brimstone Hill, the island's one-time fortress. Play soldiers at this former British stronghold and you'll be rewarded with stupendous views and a site so pristine that the troops could just have moved out.
When night falls, head to the famous Strip for a rum punch stumble; home to Mr X's Shiggedy Shack and a string of other beach bars. Drink, dance and enjoy the stars in the big skies above.
And the perfect way to shake off a night on the tiles Caribbean-style? With one of those hammocks strung between palm trees, of course…
