Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Everything went beautifully. Thank you.
Great service and a fantastic trip Lovely to have personal service and attention from Robert .
Thank you for a very smooth trip
The only problem we had was at Sao Paulo on the outward leg where we had great trouble getting boarding cards via Gol Airlines. I failed to do it on my phone and a girl at the desk took some time to achieve it too.
Had an issue with a flight from Salta to Buenos Aires being cancelled and moved so we would arrive at the estancia around midnight. But Rosie managed to get it changed to a morning flight which made the experience better as we would have had only a full day there otherwise
Manny and his team couldn't have been more helpful - including rescheduling a missed flight. I've used DialAFlight for many years, and friends I've recommended have also been delighted to find they offer prompt and friendly service. You can actually talk to one of the team 24/7, they are unfailingly helpful, efficient and nice.
Thank goodness for the 24/7 helpline. On a bank holiday Monday we had to reschedule our flights home. Out of ten other people doing the same our new flights were sorted in the hour. Others could not even get to speak to their agents! Imagine the stress when this situation occurs.
Everything went like clockwork. PERFECT.
Luke helpful as usual
Love Abbie!
Mollie was excellent. She did exactly what we asked, kept in touch and helped us with any queries we had.
I was going through a different agent who messed me around. I spent the weekend trying to arrange something with them having been told it was confirmed and then they told me they couldn’t secure the seat and I’d have to pay a different price. I called Bradley at DialAFlight on the Monday and within 15 minutes he managed to resolve my issue. The price I was given was 2nd to none and I was very impressed with his conduct and his after service. Thank you so much DialAFlight
Will be back if and when I fly again!
Thank you Gavin. Professional and honest advice and service every time.
Smooth process from start to finish - great work again and DAF remain my go-to travel agents.
Great service, thank you.
We were really impressed with every aspect of our experience and highly recommend Ethan.
Everything worked out perfectly
Edward Scudder is an asset to your company. Not only did he alleviate any worries I had. But his overall professionalism was fantastic. I’m advising friends and family to use DialAFlight
Very efficient!
Been with DialAFlight for a few years and always receive the best service. They are very helpful and responsible.
Tommy was fantastic - the whole trip ran smoothly and would definitely reccomend
Harvey and Abbie were brilliant... please tell them!
Keep up the good work and looking forward to my next travel with you!
Excellent support
Excellent, attentive, personal service
I wouldn't use anyone else to book our holiday/flights. From luxury holidays to daughter's gap year flights. Joe Orton sorted everything. He found us an upgrade to First Class and the BA service to Santiago was very impressive and was definitely worth doing as it's a 15 hour flight. But we flew back from Buenos Aires and the BA business class was very disappointing, as was the food. Very poor.
Marshall a superstar as always
Everything went well
We were disappointed with our seat allocation on Iberia
The Spanish moss hangs over Savannah like a veil, revealing the ghosts and charms of this sultry city in glimpses. Take your time here, it seems to say, too much in one go and you will overdose. But the plant that drips from live oaks in the shaded squares is not what it seems. It belongs to the pineapple family, not a moss at all, and that sums up the city itself.
Savannah overflows with mystery. Anything seems possible here.
Georgia's oldest city is a sumptuous film set with a jumble of architecture and eras, wrought iron and verandahs.
A devotee of Gone With The Wind, I have long been captivated by the Deep South's allure. In one of Savannah's many historic homes open to the public, it would have seemed normal to surprise upon a southern belle such as Scarlett O'Hara lacing her stays in a bedroom or Rhett Butler storming down a sweeping staircase.
The Mercer Williams House in Monterey Square is the setting for another book, John Berendt's Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, about a notorious real-life murder trial in the Eighties.
Today, visitors can stroll around art dealer Jim Williams's stellar collection of antiques ending in the room where Jim's male lover was shot dead.
Berendt's book featured drag queen Lady Chablis and voodoo priestess Minerva and, as you wander the streets and quaint alleys of Savannah, such characters would not seem out of place.
The city trades on its eccentricities and boasts spooky ghost and gravestone tours. Take a horse-drawn carriage along the cobbles to Chippewa Square where Forrest Gump sat on his bench.
Get your bearings on a trolley trip on which you will be joined by historical characters such as General James Edward Oglethorpe, who laid out the city's lovely squares.
Hospitality is big here and most hotels and B&Bs host free evening drinks and nibbles. At the Planters Inn on Reynolds Square, guests gathered over what my husband called 'pretty decent vintages' to swap stories of must-see houses and must-eat restaurants, including The Olde Pink House next door, which offers gourmet southern fare.
Just two hours up the coastal tidal flats, and a world away in style, is Charleston. If Savannah is a blousy belle with petticoats awhirl, Charleston is a sophisticated socialite: cobbled streets, magnificent antebellum mansions and flickering lanterns, set against manicured blooms.
Stroll along the Battery where the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet. Watch sweet-grass baskets being woven in the market.
Visit the pastel houses of Rainbow Row, one of South Carolina's most famous sites.
Tuck into oysters and shrimp accompanied by grits, the region's speciality of boiled ground maize, for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Folks here are friendly; a mum and daughter in town to check out the university urged us to visit them 'down the road' in Nashville, a mere 500 miles away.
Charleston shamelessly exploits its Gone With The Wind connection.
Rhett Butler hailed from here and the town won't let you forget it.
'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn' features on tea towels and magnets, but while gaudy memorabilia sits at odds with this stately city, they don't mar it. We sailed to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the American Civil War were fired, plunging Scarlett O'Hara's life into chaos and forming the backdrop to Margaret Mitchell's novel.
Outside Charleston is Boone Hall, one of America's oldest cotton plantations.
The tyrannies of slavery unfold in a harrowing exhibition, vividly set in the original workers' cabins.
Afterwards, numb, visit the colonial revival house or wander the avenue of ancient live oaks, garlanded with the ubiquitous moss, one of many sites claiming inspiration for Scarlett's beloved plantation, Tara.
Perhaps because each jealously guards its appeals, Savannah and Charleston are competitive.
Scarlett linked them as 'aged grand-mothers fanning themselves placidly in the sun', but today there's more to separate them than a state line and 100 miles.
Locals asked which we preferred as if our answer didn't matter, but were anguished if we hesitated. So, which to choose of these two grandes dames of the south? I couldn't possibly say. Go, and decide for yourself.
