On returning to Singapore last Monday it would have been nice to know that you now need an immigration form before you get to passport control.
Great personal service from Jack
Direct contact by phone with DialAFlight adds reassurance to the customer.
I have used DialAFlight on many occasions and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Your team is superb and Dominic is an absolute gem. Many thanks from a completely satisfied customer
Keep up the good work. Emma Pearce was very helpful and I will use Emma and your company for any future bookings. The hotel was excellent - one of the best I’ve stayed at.
Fantastic service! Always keeping me updated and fully informed. I felt that Amelia was on holiday with us, making sure that we had the best possible experience at all times! Thank you so much
Very enjoyable holiday
Gordon is a massive help. No issue with changing flight dates - he couldn't be more helpful. A great asset for DialAFlight
Jerry is the consummate professional
Always someone on the end of the phone that you can talk to
Ryan, our travel adviser, was excellent !
Dominic and team, thank you so much. I will come back to you soon
Ryan always very helpful and knowledgeable.
As ever, Theo worked hard to get us the right flights. His level of communication is excellent and it made our journey very easy.
Great service
Once again another great service with my booking - would highly recommend
Yet another perfectly organised trip. Thank you
As smooth as ever
Great advice on flight choices, itinerary and price. I will definitely use DialAFlight again
As usual, Connie at DialAFlight came up trumps for our recent trip to India. From finding a complicated itinerary of flights that worked brilliantly for us, to ensuring we had all the necessary documentation and informing us promptly of any changes to the schedule. The security of knowing that you have a contact 24/7 in case of flight issues whilst away is invaluable. We would never use or trust any one else to book our flights
Amazing holiday and the transfers all worked perfectly
Very helpful
Charlie was great especially looking after so many cancellations prior to actually going in the trip
Vinnie, great service as ever.
As always, first class!
Never used an agent to buy airline tickets before - despite having flown extensively for four decades. DialAFlight were excellent and will definitely use them again. Highly recommended.
From the quote stage right up until we travelled Leah Jessep was fabulous
All good, thanks Arthur.
Niall, is a superstar. He has been super helpful. I appreciated the window seats in business on right side of plane from Kathmandu to Doha. Views of the Himalayas were amazing.
Excellent service. Fast and efficient
Bangkok is known as a stopover – somewhere to spend a few hedonistic hours before going on to the coast. Well, that may have been true 20 years ago. Now it's a place to linger.
Zoom up Silom road - through the commercial district - towards the shopping centres of Siam Square to see how the city has flourished.
The Skytrain monorail moves silently overhead. Designer labels abound. The shiny Siam Paragon shopping centre has a car park just for supercars.
Then there's Asiatique, a bustling night market of 1,500 shops on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.
Handicrafts and trinkets sit alongside fashion boutiques and gadgets and nothing closes before midnight. If you are laden with goodies, as I am, a fleet of tuk-tuks is waiting outside.
Racing away, we fly over holes in the road. A dramatic swerve and a loud judder tell me we've arrived back at the swanky Mandarin Oriental. They've seen it all here.
From writer Somerset Maugham, bedridden with malaria, to Mick Jagger insisting the windows in the royal suite be blacked out and Billy Idol wrecking his room completely.
Dining on the riverfront at the Mandarin Oriental
Celebs aside, the hotel has a cooking school and I take a class with chef Narain. A kaleidoscope of ingredients is laid out before us. Those we know: ginger, lime leaves; fish sauce, lemongrass. And those we don't, the tiny butterfly pea – a flower from which a brilliant blue dye can be used to colour desserts.
We watch, ask questions and taste. Then attempt Siamese baked desserts (small, dome-shaped pancakes); braised pork; fiery tom yum soup and a salad of grapefruit-like pomelo.
I slice, chop, juice and pummel. Chef Narain chats away. Chillies, it turns out, are a matchmaking tool. 'Mothers looking for a suitable wife for their sons spy on the neighbour's daughters to assess the speed with which they grind the spice,' he laughs. 'The faster the grinding, the better wife she will make.'
Food is a big deal in Bangkok. Take the Skytrain to Thong Lor and Sukhumvit Soi 38, a line of steamy, noisy, kitchens-on-wheels. There can be no better initiation to Thai street food.
Grab a wobbly table and gobble sticky rice with mango, curries, pad Thai, squid and duck. Delicious.
