My last minute twin city trip to the US was booked easily and went smoothly
Good advice on flight options. Easy check in experience. All flights on time and BA was the best choice for us. Many thanks.
Marshall is the greatest. All went extremely well and Passenger Assistance worked perfectly. Thanks for all your help
Wowzer … what a fantastic trip we had to Nashville! We’re only just getting over it a week later. Thank you so much DialAFlight, particularly Dylan, who is our go-to guy for big group trips. You did not disappoint. Fantastic memories made with family and friends. Already thinking about our next trip…
Always great service and happy to help with any problems that may arise.
Many thanks for DialAFlight emailing us the boarding passes that the BA web site in France would not print.
Rules at Houston now changed, checked through international luggage no longer needs to be picked up from the carousel in Houston.
Lucy Macnab was amazing in sorting out alternative flights in what seemed a matter of minutes after the Air Canada fiasco. She was so supportive and caring in getting the best result for me.
Excellent!
As always, you have again provided excellent service and professionalism. I look forward to contacting you again in the future.
Always such great service - thank you Matt Power!
Karina on your emergency line did a splendid job arranging the best alternative from Heathrow to Denver when BA cancelled at very short notice. This enabled me to reach Denver on time when all BA had done was rebook me the following day which was not acceptable.
Louise Spencer is polite, courteous and engaging. She did an outstanding job organising my holiday and I look forward to booking with her again.
Very helpful and efficient advice and service throughout.
Thank you, will be using you again.
Five stars all round as per usual from William and the team
Charlotte was fantastic and put up with all my questions!
Saf has always been and continues to be excellent!
Very helpful professionals, have time to listen and answer queries promptly. Always remind me when my date to travel is close, phones answered very quickly so you are not waiting on the phone for hours. Hence I have been a customer for decades
The whole trip went well and the help received by Customer Services over the car rental was invaluable.
All connections coordinated well, including flights to and from Livingstone. Thank you once again.
Great service, through booking to returning home. Everything ran perfectly.
10/10 again, as always!
Finley was great
Take more time to explain the options. Had to change flights quickly on realising what had first been booked.
Karl Patel was an absolute star, dealt with everything for me from beginning to end. Absolute stress and hassle free experience. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work
It was a fabulous holiday, thanks so much.
I can't rate you highly enough - the best service I've received in years. Thank you!
Everything went well, hotels great, location perfect, had a great time. Thank you
Roger got us a really good price for our holiday to Florida and I was impressed that he could reserve our seats on the plane at no extra cost! Great communications leading up to our trip too. This is our 4th time using DialAFlight and highly recommend
Singapore's star is shining ever more brightly as a top tourist destination - it has a fantastic bar and foodie scene and a host of new design hotels. And of course it has a reputation for being a super-safe and super-clean city.
The island city-state off southern Malaysia is a melting pot of trade, tourism and cultures - it's a global financial centre with a tropical climate and multi-cultural population.
Its colonial core centres on the Padang, a cricket field since the 1830s and now flanked by grand buildings such as City Hall, with its 18 Corinthian columns. And in Chinatown, dating from about 1820, stands the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, said to house one of Buddha's teeth.
Singapore is ideal either as a final destination or as a stopover en route to Australia or New Zealand. Here's how to get the best and most fun out of it in two days.
First evening
A selection of flights from Heathrow land round about 6pm local time.
A 30-minute or so drive from Changi airport will get you to your hotel - and shortly afterwards to the bar, with perhaps a Madame Butterfly cocktail in your hand (tequila, watermelon, rosé wine and soda water).
Singapore's famous Raffles is reopening this summer after a major refurbishment, so a revitalising Singapore Sling will be available there - or otherwise that particular cocktail can also be thoroughly enjoyed at the Loof bar in the Civic District.
Day One, morning
Download the Grab app - Singapore's version of Uber - then head to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where you can pop up to the rooftop Lavo restaurant for brunch with a view. The ricotta pancakes with lemon and blueberries are divine. If you want something a little different, how about chicken and waffles?
Next door to the hotel is the lotus flower-shaped ArtScience Museum, which hosts exhibitions from design to technology. A short walk away, the Gardens By The Bay cover 250 acres and feature 220,000 plants.
The 18 futuristic, steel-clad 'trees' are actually giant exhausts for the turbines that cool the bio-dome greenhouses.
Afternoon
Head to one of Singapore's giant malls and you'll never be short of shopping and dining opportunities, but it's even better for a reviving blast of cool air in a city that often has high humidity levels.
At Ion on Orchard Road, there are plenty of designer stores to browse, although there are budget options too. As a tourist, you can claim back the seven per cent Goods & Services Tax.
When you're ready for a snack, go to the basement food court for toast with kaya, a caramel-like spread of sugar, coconut milk and eggs.
Evening
In Chinatown, chef Ivan Brehm, formerly of Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck, conjures up superb flavours at Nouri. A five-course tasting menu with wine pairings costs £155 per person. Dishes include Afro-Brazilian fritters with turmeric, coconut sauce, bread and salted prawn vatapa, and nasturtium marshmallow with candied orange.
A short walk away is Native, where Vijay Mudaliar crafts cocktails from weird and wonderful ingredients including pureed grasshoppers.
Day Two, morning
Escape the hustle and bustle and see a different side of Singapore by taking the North-South line of the metro to Kranji and the Kranji War Cemetery, where 4,000 Commonwealth soldiers killed in two world wars lie buried.
Before you head back, join the locals in the Kopitam cafe at Kranji station, where a bowl of laksa - spicy noodle soup - costs less than £2.50.
Afternoooon
Back in central Singapore, see places featured in the recent hit movie Crazy Rich Asians from the sidecar of a souped-up, chauffeur-driven Vespa. The two-hour tour includes a stop for food.
Evening
Hawker centres are an institution here - no-frills food courts where the prices are great and food is top-notch.
In Queenstown, Timbre+ provides a modern take on one, with outlets housed in shipping containers. Grab a bucket of ice for your beers, then choose a starter at one spot, a main somewhere else and dessert at a third.
Before you head to Changi Airport for your flight back to the UK, kick back at Timbre+'s rooftop pool - it's open until midnight.
