What 6748 of our customers thought of Australia...

Excellent communications and what feels like personal support gives you confidence that DialAFlight are genuinely there to help you get the best from your trip.

Cameron was just wonderful answering all my questions and putting me at ease with follow up calls. Great company and have passed on the wonderful service to friends Thank you for helping to make my holiday amazing!

Very helpful and friendly service. Great to be able to actually talk to someone! Many thanks to Reagan who was extremely helpful when I had a problem checking in online. Very reassuring and nothing too much trouble. Will definitely use DialAFlight in the future.

Harriet was very helpful and kept us updated all the time. We had a fabulous holiday and loved the app.

Brilliant service from Lloyd, Jack and their team. Thank you!

Courtney arranged everything for us and we felt we were in excellent hands throughout. It was very helpful to be able to ask questions regarding seat allocation on Qatar

Usual excellent service. Had a great time. Would go nowhere else to book my Australian holidays. Well done Ralph. DialAFlight is the best

Thank you so much, your customer service is excellent.

Very smooth trip. Thanks so much for all your help arranging flights. Kids first time in Australia and had a blast, really enjoyed the variety of places we travelled to.

You have been just brilliant and your assistance was invaluable. Staff polite, friendly and knowledgeable and great in an emergency situation.

Excellent trip, unfortunately luggage lost on return and still not received!

Gordon goes way and beyond every time

Very helpful indeed. Great organisation to deal with

I would not recommend breakfast at the Crowne Promenade Melbourne. Zero star rating from us.

The help was there when needed. All the information was well presented and given in plenty of time. It made this first time, flying solo on a long trip, feel very confident.

Daniel was very helpful when we needed to change our bookings to return to the UK. It was over the Easter weekend but he still kept communication going. Thanks for that

Everything OK till Dubai airport on way back. Total mess, no organisation, no help. The airport can’t deal with a crisis. Just pathetic.

Can’t fault the service I received by Graham and everything went according to plan. It was great to get a pre-flight call from him to ensure we had everything in place that we would need. As it happened, we hadn’t so it enabled us to get the missing documents. But I would not choose to fly Air Malaysia again. On the other hand, New Zealand Airways was outstanding. Probably the best flight I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot.

Yet again excellent service from the team at DialAFlight. Will definitely use again.

As always, DialAFlight have been excellent in organising our flights to Australia. Jordan Fell has usually been our contact and is professional and friendly but all agents we have spoken to have been great AND the phone is answered within seconds….always a bonus.

As always Chloe and Lloyd were there to advise and reassure us when our original plans changed on our flights back from Australia

Just keep up the good work. Impossible to fault you.

All went very smoothly. When I phoned Ruby from Brisbane with a query about my flight home, she checked immediately and phoned me back and confirmed that all was in order. Very reassuring. I will definitely use DialAFlight again. Very grateful.

Leah Jessep is both knowledgeable and prompt in all her communication, many thanks.

It has always been a pleasure to deal with you as you have a wonderful manner and so does Molly! Would not ever think of changing from DialAFlight! You are the best!

Good service will use again

Great company to deal with. Will definitely use this option again

Everything was spot on. Good to know you could be contactable at any time. You responded to my query very quickly setting my mind at rest.

Great service from Ivor who kept us up to date with everything before we left. The app is great having everything listed. We did have a problem with not being able to check in with the airlines in New Zealand but think this was an airline error.

Always very friendly and very helpful - nothing is too much trouble.

Chaotic Kowloon

Hong Kong is where I belong

Rob Crossan is dreaming of rambling, chaotic Kowloon

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.

Dazzling neon signs vie for your attention

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.

Temple Street night market

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.

Tung Choi Street fish 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.

Tim Ho Wan

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.
