Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Always get a good service.
Thank for organising the trip - it was fantastic.
Everything went very smoothly
You are are the best.
Emily Aird was fantastic in sorting our holiday and for keeping us posted. A brilliant service, thank you.
Having someone, with relevant experience to recommend options and then take on the administrative burden gave us peace of mind/assurance that if any issues came up there was someone there to help resolve them. I thought they were just a flight broker but they offer so much more so if you need a partner to build and book your dream holiday look no further than Emily our consultant
Usual good service
Always helpful
Very professional service from start to finish Have used DialAFlight for many years
I have been using your company for several years. We have always received excellent service and travel advice, also back up whenever needed even from abroad. Your managers, Fraser and now Gino have been brilliant.
Thanks again Deborah and team for looking after us on our trip to Thailand. Everything went smoothly and the hotels and transfers were spot on. I’ll be using you again very soon.
This was a beautifully scheduled and packed 3 country holiday in great hotels that suited our needs. I definitely would recommend others to use DialAFlight as the first point of call for any intended holiday.
As always everything went well
Great deal on flights, great communication, someone was always available to help at all times. Would highly recommend
Great service as always. Thank you Spencer and team.
Owen was very helpful, worked out an excellent itinerary and gave us lots of advice. The hotels he booked were of a good standard and perfectly located. It gave us confidence to know that DialAFlight were available 24 hours a day to support us throughout our holiday if we got into any difficulty.
It gives you peace of mind when flights abroad are taken care of by someone reliable.
Excellent service
The Assistance at Heathrow is rubbish
Great to be able to talk to a responsive and knowledgeable human being....and get in touch so quickly|
We were not impressed with Qatar Airways
Always knowledgeable and helpful
Absolutely outstanding
Excellent service and communication
It is very reassuring to have a phone contact to help with flight details especially for the older generation.
Have used DialAFlight many times and they have excelled each time. Maybe not the cheapest option but the service you receive makes up for that. Seymour has gone over and above for us on the three holidays we have booked with him.
Excellent service from Ben, once again
We have used DialAFlight before and will use them again.
Amazing service. Thanks so much Jamie. Will definitely use you again
Easy from start to finish.
This year was the first time I've ever taken a long holiday. I was away for a total of three-and-a-half weeks. Everyone was surprised that I took such a long break - last year I managed just three days off.
I decided it was time to relax and get away from running my hotel, the Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire - life is too short to work all the time. I wanted to rediscover a part of the world that has long fascinated me - South East Asia. This region has the most beautiful food, an extraordinary climate, and the people are so warm and friendly.
The food at my hotel has a strong South East Asian influence, particularly the area around Chiang Mai in Thailand. And about 25 years ago I discovered the resort of Chiva-Som in Hua Hin, one of the best spas in the world.
It was the place that ignited my interest in nutrition - something I've developed at Le Manoir with my Raymond Blanc Cookery School.
All those years ago, staff at Chiva-Som were connecting food with health, and within the spa they had the best yogi, the best acupuncturist, the best medicine. For me, visiting here is a way to get back to good health.
Another key element is really learning how to breathe properly so that you 'reconnect' with your body. So each day at Chiva-Som involves detox, exercise, swimming, massage, acupuncture, and, of course, some wonderful spa treatments.
Good food is at the heart of maintaining good health - something the Government is beginning to accept with its plans to give every child a quality, nutritious meal every day.
By staying somewhere like Chiva-Som, you soon realise the benefits of eating good food. This place is a foodie heaven - meals made with herbs grown on site, spices and grain.
During my stay I ate an awful lot of quinoa, fresh, crunchy salads, and different types of rice. The chefs also cooked me lots of fresh fish and delicious vegetables.
The kitchen garden at Chiva-Som is magnificent, although perhaps not as amazing as ours at Le Manoir, because we are obsessive about our garden.
The garden at Le Manoir isn't just a showpiece; it actually has a huge impact on our gastronomy as well. We have eight people working in the garden during the winter and 12 during the summer.
One of the key things about the Chiva-Som experience is meditation. I find meditation very difficult because I always have about 50,000 things in my head at the same time, so to try take them out and meditate - oh my goodness, it's so hard!
Once I was enveloped in the heaven that is Chiva-Som, I was very happy - I had no desire to venture outside. In the resort you are asked not to use your mobile phone outside your room. And that's perfectly correct - after all, you're staying in a place that is calm and restorative, so mobile phones are inappropriate. I must say, however, that I felt the urge to tweet the whole world what a great time I was having!
After a few days of Chiva-Som you become completely Zen-like. At the end of my stay I kept asking myself why I had to leave this wonderful place.
The good news was that my holiday wasn't over. Next we headed to another fabulous get-away-from-it-all resort - the Belmond Napasai in Koh Samui.
Situated between verdant tropical gardens and the shimmering sea, this is a resort that deserves to be described as paradise. Standalone villas sit within 17 acres of tropical gardens, rich with cashew and coconut trees, hibiscus and bougainvillea.
Tempting aromas of fresh local cuisine drifted through the air, and staff greeted every request with a warm smile.
To finish the holiday, we had two wonderful days in Bangkok, staying at the Mandarin Oriental, another heavenly place.
I love Bangkok for its antique shops - you can't keep me away and I always buy something.
The managers at Le Manoir get worried about what I'll come back with: on a previous trip I managed to return with a huge bed (it came back in a container - there wasn't room to bring it with me on the plane!)
Over the years I've bought all sorts of lovely antiques - my house is full of them. This year, I bought only a delightful Buddha made from lapis stone, and a beautiful opium pipe which will join the collection of other pipes in our Opium Room at Le Manoir.
Already I can't wait to go back to Thailand. To me, that's the sign of a perfect holiday.
