Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Good and effective liaison as always. I wasn't impressed by Air France - (delays, poor provisions on board, lack of entertainment but good staff) otherwise all good.
Wonderful company, so helpful. Best I have ever dealt with.
Kept informed and updated - fabulous service
As always Alan White was excellent in finding flights for me
There is a reason I keep coming back to DialAFlight but this holiday exceeded expectations. Langkawi - what a place. Wayne did us proud. Truly the trip of a lifetime.
Very happy - always deliver
Great flights and always at the end of the phone for queries. Great service
Informed and knowledgable advice and support. My go-to travel company
Polite, courteous and very helpful
Jack was superb as always. Thank you DialAFlight. Will be using you again
I always book with DialAFlight. Staff are very helpful especially Oli. My husband and I are both elderly and need a lot of patience and understanding
Michael did a fantastic job. We were well taken care of and it was excellently planned.
Excellent seats in Business pre-arranged by Curtis. All smooth until return from Mongolia but even then Curtis was on the case and noticed we had missed the connection in Istanbul & contacted me. Very impressive. We highly recommend him and DialAFlight and have put several friends his way in past years!
The third time I have booked through DialAFlight and have received an excellent service. A very friendly and professional company.
As always, the service and attention to detail was perfect. Thank you Grant; here's to my next trip.
This is our 6th trip booked through DialAFlight and have recommended to family and friends who have also booked multiple trips with them now too. Can’t recommend enough!
Great service, as usual. Would definitely recommend DialAFlight
Everything was perfect. Always so efficient and reliable.
Connection outbound too long. Should have been on an earlier flight. Return was almost too short - they told us to run!
Excellent flight choice - perfect timing, amazing hotel, superb all round
Gino booked flights and hotels for a 2 centre stay in Mexico and gave us suggestions for things to do. Had the most amazing time, hotels were excellent and locations great. We could not have done it ourselves at the price
Brilliant as usual. And thank you to Julie Harris! The food was really excellent on the flight!
Keep up the great work
Russell was incredibly helpful and ensured everything was set for me ahead of my trip!
Singapore pick up was a bit hectic as we couldn't find our driver. It would he helpful to know that as soon as you come out of customs you are in the arrivals hall and need to turn to the left where the pick up drivers wait.
As efficient as always!
As usual, great service
The return flight from Doha was akin to being in a zoo
Friendly responsive and efficient
EvaAir flight was extremely cold. Complained to no avail .
Bali was the place friends kept telling me I should visit. Surely nowhere could be that fabulous - but it lived up to the hype. I loved it.
There was an enormous sense of tradition, belief in family values and beautiful aesthetics - there's nowhere like it.
I hadn't gone with any intention of searching for new fabrics or inspiration for designs - after all, I really had no idea what I would find.
It is so spiritual - it's astonishing how many temples there are. I arrived after an exhausting Fashion Week, but from the moment I entered Alila Villas Soori - the most amazing hotel I've seen - I felt thoroughly relaxed.
Alila Villas Soori is on Bali's south-west coast in the Tabanan regency, 20 minutes from Tanah Lot temple, the island's most sacred. It's one of Bali's prettiest regions, between the sea and rice terraces, with mystical Mount Batukaru in the distance.
My bedroom overlooked a glorious beach - the sand black and volcanic.
When I woke on the first morning, it felt almost enchanted. It had been stormy overnight and the beach was full of people collecting driftwood for fuel. Some were dragging away large pieces to turn into sculptures, to sell to tourists.
I had incredible spa treatments. ?They make their own soaps - volcanic, rice and cinnamon - all beautifully scented. And I saw how they use volcanic sand in body scrubs
The hotel's Cotta restaurant had a French and a local chef, together creating a magnificent fusion of French and Balinese.
After three days it was time to explore. The mountains in the centre of the island were a two-hour drive, but worth it.
I was in the picturesque Bali you see in guidebooks - rice fields and irrigation ditches everywhere.
I went whitewater rafting - and all around were stunning temples and rice fields. It was one of the greatest outdoor adventures I've ever had.
Later I thought I could hear music. When I asked what it was, I was told: 'It's the monks praying.'
There were often religious processions, and I was able to enjoy it all at close quarters.
For the second part of my stay, I moved to the Alila Villas Uluwatu at the south of the island. It was in a gorgeous area, above limestone cliffs and sandy beaches - very smart and fashionable, yet very tranquil.
A pool was set high above the Indian Ocean, with one of the world's best views.
I was surprised to find a well-stocked library, with books about traditional crafts such as weaving and basket-making.
My guide took me to a museum in Denpasar focusing on local handicrafts, with displays of traditional textiles and hand-made masks and tapestries.
Then I went on a bit of a 'treasure hunt' to learn more about the local dyeing techniques of batik and ikat. I discovered beautiful ikat weaves using gold and silver threads. I was learning about the culture and history of Bali through its crafts.
I bought so much local handiwork I had to buy a second suitcase.
I came across antiques shops where they have lots of textiles - some hundreds of years old - which you can buy.
At a temple at Uluwatu, on a cliff edge, I saw people performing a traditional dance.
There was a choir of 70 men who sang and then went into a meditation dance called a kecak -extraordinary.
What I saw in Bali proved to be a source of inspiration for my designs. I took many pictures, and I'm going to translate my experiences into some very modern, glamorous, Julien Macdonald designs.
I'm sitting surrounded by batik, ikat and incense - ready to go to work.
My ten days in Bali simply weren't enough. I'm already planning another trip.
