Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Billy is a top guy. I've booked with other companies in the past and you don't receive such 5 star treatment
Always reliable and get me the best flights available.
Always get a good service.
Always helpful
As always everything went well
Great deal on flights, great communication, someone was always available to help at all times. Would highly recommend
Excellent service
The Assistance at Heathrow is rubbish
It is very reassuring to have a phone contact to help with flight details especially for the older generation.
Fantastic company, we have booked with DialAFlight many times and have never had any problems. Always a great experience. Thank you till next time.
Ethan was excellent and provided great insight and support. Though we had requested vegetarian food when we booked the flight, little was available that we were able to eat
Helen has been looking after my flights and arrangements for over 2 years. I wouldn’t book with another company as they make the process so easy
Already recommended you to many friends over a number of years
Raphael was extremely helpful throughout the booking process
Great communication from Alfie
Always a great service from the team at DialAFlight ... been using for many years
We could not be more happy with the level of service we received from DialAFlight. In particular Seymour who was incredibly knowledgeable and offered great advice. We also spoke with other team members who all genuinely seemed invested in making our first trip to Thailand as good as it turned out to be.
Used you loads of times and will be using you again for my next trip.
Everything was perfect, thank you
Eva Business was brilliant
Excellent service as always.
Gavin checked me in for both flights. He is a star.
As with every other flight booking made with your company the most recent was perfect. We have already booked our flights for our return to Thailand in September and are assured that all will go smoothly. Thank you as always for your excellent service Bruce and team.
Thanks for arranging wheelchair help and getting me seat with room - it really helped after injuring my knee
Very good service
Everything on schedule, flight details and amended times, notification excellent. Very helpful with all aspects of travel arrangements. Answer time for calls amazing, within seconds.
Fantastic service
Great service and competitive pricing
First class service. Aaron and his colleagues have always been very helpful - quick to reply and answer any questions
The best. I use DialAFlight every year
Relentlessly busy, noisy, smelly and stiflingly hot: yes, parts of it are and it's easy to see why, for many, Bangkok is little more than a place for a brief stopover.
But dig a little deeper and you'll find a burgeoning arts scene, a raft of new restaurants and elegant galleries.
Day 1, morning
We arrive in the Thai capital after a week on the idyllic island of Koh Lanta. The sparkly new Airport Rail Link City Line runs every 15 minutes from inside the terminal, costs 45 baht (about £1) and takes just 25 minutes to the city's central stations.
As a rule, getting around Bangkok by public transport is far less hassle than using taxis, which can sometimes overcharge or take overlong routes. Our first stop is the Mandarin Oriental, the chain's 140-year-old flagship property, affectionately known as La Grande Dame. It's on the edge of the buzzy Silom district, a colonial-era oddity in a city full of 1970s concrete blocks and glass skyscrapers.
Even if you're not checking in, it's worth taking high tea in the Authors' Lounge.
The hotel is famous for its writers-in-residence, from Dame Barbara Cartland to Somerset Maugham and Gore Vidal.
Afternoon
We head for a late lunch at The Jam Factory arts complex, part of the city's new Creative District. The Jam Factory is a converted factory - a collection of low-rise, industrial-style glass-and-steel buildings sit around a central garden courtyard.
At our restaurant, The Never Ending Summer, a Buddhist ceremony is going on in the garden. Monks wrap silk ribbons around huge trees, adding to the peaceful vibe. The food is show-stopping: grilled catfish with sweet sauce and stir-fried glass noodles are musts.
Afterwards, we drop in to Santi Chai Prakan Park, the site of a blindlingly-white 18th Century fort where at 5pm every day there is communal outdoor aerobics, yoga or dance classes.
Even if you're not feeling quite that energetic, it's brilliant to watch.
Day 2, morning
After a late breakfast, we go to the Artists House - otherwise known as Baan Silapin - in the trendy Thonburi district. This is 'old Bangkok' - sleepy, wooden buildings and winding alleys that fringe the canals. It's off the beaten track but worth visiting.
The Artists House is a 200-year-old teak building. As you wander along the canal past little cafes serving stir-fried dishes, every now and then an elderly lady on a boat will pull up to sell skewers of barbecued meat.
You'll probably not see too many tourists in this part of the city, bar the occasional boat-load being whisked along a canal.
The House itself is built around a 700-year-old Buddhist stupa, and at 2pm you can watch a traditional Thai marionette show. Children are invited to paint paper masks and take part.
Afternoon
Fully prepared to get a bit lost, we head east over a footbridge and into the bustling streets around Soi Charan Sanitwong, where street vendors sell fried fish balls, noodles and sweet treats.
As the sun goes down, we stumble upon a night market - food, toys, electric goods and clothes are all for sale and cost next to nothing - then keep heading east to Wat Arun, one of Bangkok's most iconic ancient temples, overlooking the Chao Phraya river. From there, a river taxi will take you back to the other side, where we drop into The H Gallery, which shows Thai art in a beautiful 125-year-old mansion.
In the evening, we head to Maggie Choo's, a subterranean bar, restaurant and live music venue beneath the Novotel which is famous for its drag shows.
Later, if you're feeling brave, try a foot massage at one of the spas lining the streets. A super spot for a relaxed late-night drink is the Long Bar at the five-star Shangri-La Hotel. The bar is alongside the river, and offers impressive views of the city as well as classic cocktails.
Finally, back to our hotel where there's just time for a further nightcap at the cosy Bamboo Bar, with a jazz band still in full swing.
If you can survive the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, there are plenty of reasons to make this city more than just a one-night stand.
