Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We had a great trip and the tours were excellent.
Would be helpful if BA provided a proper reference for connecting flights to allow for online check-in.
Totally dependable, professional, friendly service and a trusted source of advice.
Very good service and even knew we had a problem with a missed connection, without us contacting them, and offered assistance. The service is excellent and having the peace of mind that you have a real person available to assist is very reassuring.
As always Gavin was amazing. Helpful, attentive and customer focused
Very informative, helpful and knowledgeable about my route and all worked out well … many thanks to Chris Briggs
Ivor provided ecellent service at all times, no hesitation in using again and recommending Thank you
I‘ve had nothing but good experiences with DialAFlight.
All went according to plan. Many thanks to the team at DialAFlight
Jamie was exceptionally helpful but was unable to get BA to account for their fault.
Iberia flight a disaster
Great job again Amelia
Amazing holiday - would recommend
I have bought my ticket to Brasil every year from you and with Jake Chudasama. Would not change anything. He is very attentive, helpful and nothing is a problem when I have a few questions.
The whole trip went like clockwork and the tour company in Peru were excellent - so helpful and friendly. All the hotels were very comfortable and the receptionists were very helpful with all our requests. Our guides were all so knowledgeable and pickups were always on time. A most memorable holiday.
Doug is always very helpful when we have complicated long haul flights to book.
Thank you Samuel - you were brilliant as always in finding a reasonable priced ticket. Looking forward to booking again later this year.
Another perfect adventure put together by Libby
Thank you Vinnie and team for 10/10 service.
We had some problems on our return transfer, however this was not a direct result of DialAFlight and a problem with the airline
Despite being a Canadian on this tour which came with a few unexpected and frustrating changes, Guy did a great job with communication and answering questions. Thanks for everything to ensure a great reunion with my friends.
Ash Pankhania was excellent - he guided me through my options and worked quickly and efficiently to get me booked and on my flights. Communication following my reservation was also excellent and I will certainly book through you again
A hassle free way to organise what was a fairly complicated trip.
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
Great service as usual from Joe and Jamie - will continue to use them for our holidays.
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.
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.
