I have used DialAFlight several times for holidays and flights and the service never wavers. Some companies get you on board and then take you for granted but not DialAFlight.
I would 100% recommend these guys. They are honest, open, quick responding, helpful, funny, professional and always there to pick the phone up as soon as you dial.
I was recommended to DialAFlight by a colleague and have used them ever since. If you want what is verging on a private concierge travel service then no need to look further.
After trawling through no end of websites and visiting a High Street travel agent I came across DialAFlight only to realise that I could have saved myself so much time and effort.
DialAFlight instantly found me a great deal for a flight that left the following morning. The paperwork was sent speedily and we were all booked within just 20 minutes.

A J Hackett- Nevis Bungy
Take the plunge
Located around 30 miles from Queenstown, this famous bungy jump is by far the highest in New Zealand, towering above the rugged Nevis River. The experience kicks off with a 35 minute 4x4 drive over a high country sheep station before you put a on harness and board a cable car suspended from 380 metre long high-tension cables spanning the whole valley. The jumpers, spectators and crew are then taken to the jump pod.
The pod has wall and floor panels of glass, so you have a view of the gorge and the jumpers dropping right before you. The dramatic view down through the floor is only heightened by the narrowing of the canyon walls near the water. And with eight and a half seconds of falling, Nevis Bungy provides a breathtaking ground rush like no other. If you don't fancy taking the plunge yourself, you can always go along and watch.
