Marvellous as always
Thomas our Travel Manager is extremely helpful and ensured that everything happened smoothly.

Problem with BA seat booking. But not with DialAFlight
Always looked after by Michelle Dooler
Always received excellent service.
We had a fabulous trip and thanks to your brilliant organisation everything went like clockwork. Will be in touch for next year's trip hopefully.
Always felt confident using your service. Gino was always communicating and excellent call a few days before flight with reminders and helpful advice. All went smoothly.

BA upgraded us both to Business Class.
As usual Christian and his team were superb
This was a bucket list holiday and Jamie and Joe went above and beyond in organising it . Most importantly their communication with me for any queries was fantastic. I will be recommending them and also using them again in the future.
Jerry is always super helpful
Extremely impressed that Ryan called me prior to flying out to ensure all OK - he even tried to change one flight for me
Quality service - I will definitely be using again and recommending to friends and family.
Very pleased indeed and feel very confident with the future flights that I have booked. The App is easy to use and very reassuring

Luke provided an efficient, friendly and professional service for which I am very grateful.
Fantastic service and will use you again. Have already recommended you to friends.
Always get good service from all at DialAFlight. Oliver in particular is most helpful. Would never dream of booking anything online now. If there is a problem I know there is always help on hand. Many thanks to all there.
Whole team are extremely helpful, particularly Nicole who patiently spent a great deal of time sorting out our flights.
Fergus - you and your colleagues were a huge help. We’ll most definitely use you again and I’ll recommend you to friends, family and colleagues.
We'd come to sample sauvignon, sip shiraz, marvel at malbec, and savour world-class cuisine. But if you ask why we'd travelled to the southern hemisphere when we have all that on our European doorstep, you obviously haven't been to South Africa.
This pilgrimage to the wine-taster's paradise of Franschhoek began not with an aperitif - say a Graham Beck Game Reserve chenin blanc - but with an appetising few days in Cape Town. Our hotel, the Cape Grace, sits alongside the lively marina. From here, you can take a tourist bus ride around the city, a cable-car trip up Table Mountain, and shop at the Waterfront area.
At the Baia restaurant we feasted on seafood bisque, lobster and langoustine - and presented with a bill as cheap as chips.
For something more sedate, the colonial grandeur of Mount Nelson is the place for afternoon tea. However, if I could eat only one meal on the Cape it would be at The Pot Luck Club, the hottest restaurant in town.
From Cape Town, we headed for the open countryside, climbing through Helshoogte Pass with its amazing mountain views. Just 90 minutes later we were in a different country - think Tuscany comes to Cumbria, with some Dutch gable architecture thrown in.
After being hounded out of Europe, it was the Huguenots who brought their distillery skills to this verdant triangle of South Africa, transforming it into one of the World's most beautiful wine valleys. Relais & Chateaux has now captured a corner of Franschhoek and discreetly created the Provencal-style retreat of Le Quartier Francais.
The hotel has a tranquil hidden garden, lavender-lined walkway and Tasting Room restaurant, all set within the charm of a Victorian village square. There is a glorious list of wine estates to visit in this area, all with restaurants and tastings.
La Petite Ferme sits at the back of Franschhoek and has mountain views and a mouthwatering lunch menu. Delaire Graff is a gem of an estate, where you can view the oak-barrelled seasoning process, or visit its famous art collection, including Tretchikoff's Chinese Girl (it's said to be the most reproduced painting in the world), and a diamond showroom on which the Graff fortune is built.
We opted for the hop-on, hopoff Franschhoek tram tour of the vineyards, along with a boisterous party who got ever squiffier as we rumbled from one distinguished estate to the next.
There was Mont Rochelle's chardonnay, fermented in a butterscotch-flavoured barrel, La Couronne's plummy malbec which we partnered with a local cheese platter, and my favourite, Moreson's In My Bed cabernet sauvignon merlot.
Moreson's has a brilliant collection of wines, wittily named around the good-natured naughtiness of their Weimaraner dog. Rather tipsily, we left the tram party to the strains of Chicago's If You Leave Me Now. We needed all our concentration for the task ahead: a night in The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Francais.
Some restaurants are worth making a pilgrimage to - and this is one. Award-winning chef Margot Janse weaves her magic in the kitchen, combining earthy African and sophisticated French to create two audacious flavour combinations.
Janse once considered a career in the theatre - and each of the eight courses, accompanied by a different wine, was drama on a plate. There was texture, humour, sex appeal and surprises with every mouthful. The Eastern Cape marron crayfish, Cape gooseberry and lemon verbena was like leaping into the freezing Atlantic - so tinglingly exhilarating I nearly went to change into my swimwear to eat it.
We finished our trip on the coast at the glamorous Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa in Camps Bay.
The unabashed luxury of Twelve Apostles was like being treated to a glass of Klein Constantia Vin de Constance - a silky, rich dessert wine much loved by Napoleon. The perfect end to a trip as well.
