Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
All just fantastic.
Thanks Jake for all your help. Had a great time
Everything went smoothly, flights were on time and the transfer at Hong Kong was easy.
Outstanding all round!
All went well with no problems
Jim, you and your team were everything I could have wished for. My 10 round the world flights were well documented and together with your 24/7 team made this such an easy journey
Wouldn’t hesitate to use you again. Erin was extremely helpful and efficient.
Excellent service from Callum
Hannah is all over the process and has been so helpful and patient. I look forward to purchasing future flights from her.
Excellent choice of hotels in all locations. Arrangements for pickup in Caticlan by the hotel went very smoothly. Enjoyed our stay immensely. Definitely recommend
Avoid early morning flights. 02.15am is not a good time to fly.
Always top service, thank you very much.
Tony packaged a great vacation - took our requirements and turned them into a fantastic time in the Far East.
All went exactly as planned, with transfers and pick ups all working really well. I will be in touch to plan my next multi stop holiday
As always , your service was impeccable. However, I was disappointed with Emirates and would prefer not to fly with them again.
Thank you. Five stars
As always everything was perfect. I always recommend DialAFlight to all my friends. I’ve never had anything but great service.
Thank you Elizabeth - wheelchair access on flights and at the Banyan Tree worked perfectly. The hotel staff really looked after Barbara like she was their own mother, made her feel so special and pampered.
As always, firdst class. Harry follows up to ensure you have everything you need. A faultless service
Probably wouldn't fly BA again.
Great service from Darryll - would recommend! Booked 7 flights for a single trip including seaplane and airport transfers.
Only thing that didn't live up to expectations was the taxi service from the airport to the destination.
Can’t get a better service, excellent!
Great service as usual, thank you!
Great service as usual.
Karl looked after us regarding choice of hotel, very pleased with the whole trip and his suggestions.
Well organised trip. I always use DialAFlight
Been regular customers for years and there is a reason for that!
All good thank you. Emirates need to improve seat allocation. Many people complaining after boarding flights.
Good communication throughout
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.
