Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We had a 9 flight itinerary on a 6 week holiday We asked for connection times no shorter than two hours and got them - every flight was on time no delays. We reserved seats at online check in paying for the long haul flight seats and that worked out. Will definitely use DialAFlight again
Keep up the good work!
Seamless service from start to finish
Special mention to our Travel Manager William who always goes above and beyond!
Excellent response to calls, informative and very helpful. You get the point they know what they are doing and are rather good at it.
Excellent service again from Amy Hibbert. I have recommended her to friends who feel the same and I will always use Amy to book my flights. Her colleagues are always polite and helpful too. Many thanks Julie
As usual, excellent service, with any hitches sorted promptly. Thank you once again Callum and team, from a client with over 10 years plus of patronage
So pleased we booked through DialAFlight. The whole process was easy. Donovan was such a help and sorted everything for us, making our trip worry free.
Have used DialAFlight on many occasions and have always had excellent service
Everything was exceptionally well planned, even down to the timings of the flights. Ben was super communicative and we wouldn’t hesitate to use you again.
Thanks for all your help and advice in the early stages of planning this trip.
I will be booking my next longhaul flight with DialAFlight. And I'm sure the service and price will match my experience of what DialAFlight can offer

Excellent work from Philippa
Another excellent holiday schedule put together by Jarvis and Philip which made our visit to New Zealand extra special. They got the balance between the two islands and individual places just right which highlights the importance of using people who have experience in the area. Many thanks again and we would not hesitate in recommending you to others.
Thank you for getting me a great deal that worked out perfectly.
Always happy to use DialAFlight for our trips to Australia. The help and service provided is excellent and we are kept informed on any developments.
Wonderful from start to finish. Very helpful. Service was brilliant. Many thanks
Terrific help and advice throughout - online travel services are fine, but to understand a variety of options and the differences between different carriers, these guys are the best!
Everything was fine. Many thanks.
Very happy with the outstanding service from DialAFlight. Russell's very helpful advice made our trip a memorable experience.
Ed was absolutely outstanding - we asked for a stopover for a couple of days and left the destination in his hands. The hotel he picked was a proper paradise and the price of the package was unbelievable. We cannot recommend DialAFlight enough, and will definitely be using them again for all our trips.
As always, Billy’s professional service was excellent - you are the only travel experts I will use.
Everything went smoothly. Clark was a fantastic help with everything. Would definitely recommend DialAFlight
Everything went very smoothly and will be booking another flight with you very soon
Great service as always
When Pavarotti first went to Pangkor Laut, he arrived with 26 suitcases – 20 for his clothes and six for his food. He then declared it the most beautiful place he’d ever seen. 'It's enchanting, it's a paradise,’ he gushed. ‘I almost cried to see what beautiful things God had done.’
But I don't know what the Italian opera star was doing with all those clothes.
If he were alive today, he’d need only one case for shorts and T-shirts - and definitely no nibbles. Pangkor Laut Resort, set on its own little island, now has six high-end restaurants, all open to the balmy sea air.
Smart casual is required at the adults-only Fisherman’s Cove. Male diners underdressed are discreetly handed a sarong.
This tropical haven of beaches, rainforest and five-star pampering three miles off the west coast of Malaysia has also been a favourite of Michael Schumacher, Eric Cantona, Tony Blair and British actress Ruth Wilson (from the TV thriller The Affair). Bond girl Michelle Yeoh (Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies) is a regular. And Joan Collins took her fifth and current husband, Percy Gibson, there on honeymoon.
However, you don’t need to be a celebrity to experience Pangkor Laut Resort's many delights.
From the airport at Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur, Pangor Laut Resort can arrange for a car to take you to Marina Island Pangkor - the jetty near Teluk Batik from where boats to the island depart.
Even the transfer is a great sightseeing experience, with palm plantations, which have mostly replaced traditional rubber ones, as well as countless villages and their residents.
The 300-acre island is a short boat ride away - the first glimpse of it is little wooden villas perched on stilts above the ocean. These are individual luxury air-conditioned villas, connected by wooden walkways to the main resort, nestled between the beaches and gentle hills of the island’s north coast.
Below and all around you in your stilt villa is azure ocean; above is sun and sky. Each villa has a deck with sun loungers. Just five minutes of lying back - waves lapping beneath and the calls of tropical birds carried across by sea breezes - will melt your stresses into the sea.
If you're lucky, from your deck you might see eagles, hornbills, sea otters, turtles and other wildlife.
On a wildlife tour with resident expert Aris, expect to see fruit bats, monkeys (long-tailed macaques, which are very cheeky), wild boar, two types of snake - both non-lethal to humans - and very rare pangolins. These look a bit like anteaters and have been hunted to near-extinction by the Chinese and Vietnamese, who deep-fry the skin and eat it as crackers. Pangkor Laut Resort is working to start a pangolin breeding programme - one of its many eco-projects.
During my trek I was lucky enough to see a tiny paradise tree snake, a huge two-metre dragon-like monitor lizard and hollow crickets (known as skeleton cicadas).
Guests can enjoy yoga and tai chi sessions, fishing, snorkelling trips, golf, private cruises, gourmet picnics, kayaking, gym, jogging trails and cooking classes.
Treatments at the spa include one for men, the Bukit Gantang Warrior Treatment. It's far more relaxing than it sounds, and promises vitality, structural alignment and flexibility.
I had the two-and-a-half hour Campur Campur signature treatment, which began at the Bath House, where my feet were washed and the soles tapped with a wooden hammer. Then I was dressed in a sarong and guided through cold and hot pools and a Japanese washing hut before having my first massage, which also involved water, and was very refreshing.
The main massage, which lasted 105 minutes and took place in a dry spa room, was out of this world - the best I've ever had.
My masseuse, Putri, said the technique was unique to Pangkor Laut and that she and her colleagues had undergone special training. I thought I was very relaxed before I went in, but afterwards I was on a never-experienced-before level of chilled-out-ness.
The resort is a glorious feast for the senses – and a chance to be utterly pampered. No wonder Pavarotti sang its praises.
