Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Your customer service is excellent. Nicky really helped with organising our flights and whole package. .
I couldn’t have done this more than excellent Dubai vacation without your help. Ryan was so patient in helping organise a party of 20 including 2 babies. The rest of the DialAFlight team were superb in giving support when Ryan and his team weren’t around. Thank you ALL so much
Simply the best.
First class yet again!
Everything went smoothly and efficiently and the whole holiday experience was first class.
It all worked perfectly. Thanks
Always use you for my flights now and thoroughly recommend you to others. Can always rely on good prices and excellent communication.
As always Darren Mosley was brilliant.
Excellent service - when I arrived at the hotel I was booked into a smoking floor and they were really efficient at changing me over to a non smoking floor. The rooms were spacious and we were located within walking distance of the Dubai World Trade Centre. The food was excellent and an overall very comfortable stay and brilliant service from Leo
Another amazing experience by DialAFlight. Thank you to Tristan. Great job
We had an amazing holiday!
Five stars, thank you
Sadie and the team at DialAFlight do everything! There is always a friendly someone there to answer any questions. I'm so impressed with their efficiency and communication.
Everything ran smoothly as always. Great service. Will be back again soon to book our next adventure.
Really good experience until I didn't get the call I was promised, a week before departing. I had questions that I wanted answers to. Other than that, a really good service and I would use again
Sean Furnival was excellent at understanding and matching our needs to the holiday plan.
Outstanding service from Brody, as always, resulting in a wonderful holiday. Thank you
Another brilliant trip organised by Callum
All good. Five stars
Thank you so much Harry for a wonderful holiday. Last year we stayed in room number 11420 and we asked if you could get us back in that room. But you did better and got us in room 22410 top floor - thank you!
Ray listened to my requirements for hotel and location, he was prompt with getting back to me, even checking some of my enquiries whilst I was on the phone. He was super fast and super thorough. Also knowledgeable about the area and recommended other hotels. We got a great rate too.
Our trip went very smoothly from start to finish. Excellent communication throughout from very personable staff (especially Oscar). Would definitely recommend and use again.
As always Thomas found us just what we wanted - great holiday in Dubai
Many thanks to Natasha Hawkins who gave us brilliant advice and followed though on our holiday in Dubai. We had a wonderful time and will certainly recommend your excellent and friendly service
Orlando and his team were exemplary
Katie Wallis was fantastic. She found us the best deal, changed our flights to accommodate our baby's sleep routine and kept us updated with any changes. We didn't have to do a thing. Would definitely recommend and would use her again.
We will definitely go back to Dubai and book with you
Excellent service from Reggie - very helpful and put himself out for us.
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday in Dubai, all thanks to Ian at DialAFlight. Every time we book with him, he ensures we get exactly what we’re looking for, from flights to accommodation. He is incredibly helpful, attentive and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. We’ve recommended him to friends and family because he never lets us down. If you're looking for a reliable and knowledgeable travel agent, Ian is the one to call!
Five stars for service
Perhaps we were mad to go back to the Maldives 20 years after honeymooning there. We remembered it as deliciously romantic, with impossibly white sand and turquoise seas. Bounty Bar stuff. We were young and in the first flush of love – and now we are 50-something.
This time, we picked JA Manafaru because it promised a level of luxury we couldn't possibly have afforded when we got married.
You get a choice of a secluded beach bungalow hidden in the jungle undergrowth with its own private plunge pool and sectioned-off area of beach; or a water villa suspended on stilts over the crystal clear water. Oh, all right then.
I'd always hankered after the idea of stepping off private decking into your own personal bit of sea. In addition we have a hot tub, outdoor shower, a glass floor in the bedroom to watch fish below and a secluded black-tiled infinity pool on the deck.
On our honeymoon island there had been one restaurant with a one-choice menu each day.
But here we have seven options: White Orchid for Asian fusion, Ocean Grill for seafood and steaks served right on the beach, Andiamo for pizza and pasta beside a calm, dark green jungle swimming pool, Infinity, serving salads and sandwiches, Kakuni for a gourmet breakfast spread, The Cellar for dinner and prestigious wines and Horizon Lounge for fabulous smoothies.
We'd gained a few pounds and a few grey hairs since we were last in the Maldives, and the islands have changed too. First time around we chummed-up with other honeymooners on the beach. Now, although we are told the resort is almost full, we stroll the whole island - which is 800 metres long and 600 metres wide - without seeing a soul.
It was on our first honeymoon that I noticed a fundamental difference between me and my beloved - he can happily spend hours lying about in the sun, whereas I need to keep busy.
I won't deny our differences have been the source of stern words over the years. But this is a special holiday, so all bets are off.
We have the options of windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, jet-skiing, wake-boarding, water-skiing and scuba diving, but I book twice daily yoga sessions and leave Jon studiously 'tanning his edges' at the beach, to join the resort's marine biologist on a snorkelling trip.
I am rewarded by the appearance of a huge pod of wild dolphins pirouetting out of the water and performing wonderful synchronised manoeuvres below us – one more item from my bucket list unexpectedly getting a tick alongside it.
You won't find many Maldivian resorts without a spa, and JA Manafaru is no exception. After a rigorous side-by-side couples massage, we are ushered into a side room where a huge round bed has been scattered with petals and bamboo spelling out 'happy second honeymoon'.
Well, inviting indeed. Perhaps 20 years ago we might have thrown the petals aside and caution to the wind, but my husband's massage has rendered him monosyllabic and I still have the imprint of the bed etched on my face. But it was a nice thought.
But later, with a glass of champagne, no kids, incredible comfort and doting attention, I don't mind confessing that the earth shakes - just a little.
Yes, we could have arranged to renew our vows; we could have booked a 'romantic cruise on a love dhoni' - a dhoni is a sailing boat with an auxiliary motor that is unique to the Maldives and has played a significant part in transport between the islands – not to mention romance.
But when the sand is so white and the sea so blue and you don't have to worry about a thing, a place like this could wring romance out of a stone.
