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
I remember the first time I went to Miami Beach. It was to film an American version of Trigger Happy TV and I was not really looking forward to it.
I thought it would be a combination of Miami Vice flashiness coupled with theme parks. How wrong I was.
The moment I got out of my cab in South Beach, I was hooked. The heady mix of wonderful weather, glorious Art Deco buildings and a blend of American optimism and Cuban joie de vivre made the place crackle with excitement.
I stayed at The Tides on Ocean Drive and just down from the glitzy hacienda where Gianni Versace lived and died. South Beach was on a resurgence, having almost nosedived into a no-go zone in the 1980s.
One of the opening scenes in the movie Scarface shows a drug deal go terribly wrong by way of a chainsaw, and the dilapidated street this happens on is Ocean Drive.
Then the fashion and music industries started to use it as a location because it was cheap and looked amazing. Everyone else followed.
I'd sit on the terrace of The Tides and watch the glamour pass by. One morning I was joined, at neighbouring tables, first by Mike Tyson and an entourage of eight, followed by the rapper Ja Rule and his pet lion. SOBE, as South Beach is known, had truly arrived.
I hadn't been back for a while and wanted to introduce my family to it. I hoped they'd love it as much as I did.
I opted for an old favourite hotel called The Albion. I'd stayed there while filming another show and it is ideally placed at the top of Lincoln Road Mall, the pedestrianised street that cuts through South Beach and is packed with stores, restaurants and bars.
The Albion has a fabulous bar, Repour, and a pool that is a refuge from the bustle of the city.
We normally breakfasted at News cafe, an Ocean Drive institution where you get some of the best people-watching in the world. Then we'd head off for the day's activity.
One day we visited the Wynwood Walls, a must-see in Miami. Another formerly dilapidated area, it has been transformed by street artists from around the world invited to use the neighbourhood as their canvas. It is now fast becoming gentrified and is packed with hipster stores and cafes along with the extraordinary art.
Cycling is the best way around South Beach. We rented bikes for a couple of days and zoomed around soaking up the street life and never, ever seemed to have to go uphill.
Having reached the southern tip of Miami Beach and wandered out to the end of the pier to get a fabulous boat's-eye view, we would often lunch at Monty's, a relaxed place on the Miami side of the island that's great for sunsets and cocktails.
Or we'd hop in a cab and head to Coral Gables. This ridiculously wealthy community has a little jewel in its crown - The Venetian Pool. It's an oasis, a public swimming pool made from a former coral quarry in the 1920s - the most beautiful swimming pool I've ever been to.
Then it was back to SOBE, gawping at the fabulous seaside properties on Star Island.
Come the evening, we'd normally wander down Lincoln Road Mall to one of our favourite places - Rosinella, an authentic Italian trattoria where we could sit outside and watch the world go by.
For a treat, we'd head south to Jo's Stone Crabs, a SOBE institution. You can't reserve a table so you put your name on a list and then sit down for a drink to wait your turn.
The food is extraordinary. Huge stone crab claws dipped in mustard sauce, wonderful aged steaks that melt in your mouth.
SOBE is the place to be - take it from me. As my daughter Parker put it, it puts you in a 'Sunshine State Of Mind'.
