Recommendation of Turkish Airlines was overrated. Although it provided the least expensive Business flight to Hong Kong, I felt that the airline organisation was poor. I am more impressed with Emirates

Comforting to know you are at the end of the phone
The team were very helpful. Darren helped us when one of our flights was changed the day before we were due to fly and Hannah looked up some options when we were considering changing our return home date. The hotels that we booked through you were lovely and the whole process of booking the flights, hotels etc. was very easy. Thank you!
Professional service, well recommended .

Thank you Ellis for organising everything for me. 100% professional all the way.
I would like to thank Natalie for all the help she provided in helping to organise my trip to Hong Kong. She provided all the information I needed and kept me updated as the departure date approached. Excellent service.
Excellent service. Booking went smoothly. Answered all questions ensuring a stressless holiday.
Could you please translate the hotel address into local language. Otherwise amazing - thank you!
Edward provided excellent customer service, well done. My trip to Hong Kong ran very smoothly. I will use DialAFlight again.
Super helpful
DialAFlight found us flights to Hong Kong that did not come up on comparison sites. Excellent communication from start to finish and a pleasure to do business with.
DialAFlight did it again, 100% reliable, always at the end of the telephone. From our point of view, everything worked without a hitch. They make it easy for travellers to enjoy their holiday with the confidence that with DialAFlight taking care of the detail, all will be good.
Excellent support from Jonathan at a time when we needed to make quick travel arrangements for a family crisis. We always recommend DialAFlight to all of our friends
Hong Kong Island to Kowloon may only be a few thousand feet across the water, but the contrast is immense; like exchanging a Savile Row suit for a worn leather jacket and scuffed Chelsea boots.
And that's no bad thing. For Kowloon is Hong Kong with its make-up and glitter peeled off: a raucous, mercantile farrago of fast food, fast fashion, fast living and slow traffic.
With freedoms for locals being eroded as Beijing ratchets up its control of Hong Kong, the markets of Kowloon, at least for now, show the rambling chaos of a freeform, unencumbered, mercantile democracy.
As somebody who despises shopping, Kowloon has long been an exception, with its markets that are an unapologetic assault on every sense. Everything you can smell and hear you can also buy, if you're prepared to haggle.
You don't need to rise early to catch the markets of Kowloon. Within one hazy, sun smeared afternoon, I eat fried pancakes filled with plump, briny oysters in the Temple Street market as a karaoke singer warbles K-pop melodies and a wizened fortune-teller attempts to usher me into her stygian gazebo.
I inhale the giddy scents of orchids, bonsai trees and roses at the Mong Kok flower market and gawp at tanks and oxygen-inflated bags filled with indolent-looking goldfish (a key element of feng shui) at the Tung Choi Street fish and reptile market.
It's not entirely necessary to eat everything on the streets, however. Tim Ho Wan (meaning 'with extra good luck') opened a decade ago and became the world's cheapest Michelin starred restaurant.
Serving up mountains of dim sum and green tea and refusing to charge customers more than £10, the restaurant now has franchises across the world.
The branch I visit in West Kowloon is certainly a bit more spick-and-span than the chaotic original shop down the road, but the food has retained its astonishing quality (and low cost) and I spend a contented hour eating turnip cake, pork buns and spring rolls with beef, mushroom and satay sauce.
Kowloon is barely four square miles and I haven't seen half its markets. I'm about to leave when I stumble onto Yuen Po, home to a bird market that is a cacophony of canaries, parrots, sparrows, magpies and parakeets housed in bamboo cages.
One shopkeeper gently chastises a parrot as it spits out a live grasshopper he tries to feed it with chopsticks. 'Diva', he says to me, pointing at the bird, in surprisingly good English. The parrot cackles a retort and turns his back on both of us.
Respite comes eventually on the tip of the peninsula. Looking out over the churning, bruise coloured waters, I admire the forest of skyscrapers across Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island that glitter and wink like a princess's jewellery box.
But I want to stay here; for much as HK Island is the showroom of the territory, Kowloon with its heat, pace, sweat and muscle is the engine room.
