Efficient and charming
Athens airport didn't seem to have check in machines - or we just couldn't find them. We had to wait for BA desk to open. (We didn't have internet to check in online in advance). Otherwise all well.
Guy Foskin - always excellent customer service.
Very impressed with all the contact we had with your company. Thank you
Thank you Johnathan Greaves - as usual excellent service all round
Maria was great as usual. We have been using DialAFlight for more than 10 years. We recommend them to everyone. They are always realistic and efficient.
As always DialAFlight found us the ideal hotel and flights at a reasonable cost. Looking forward to booking our next holiday with you!
As always excellent service - you get what you expect and hope for
Trevor was very professional and took care of all our needs. Great communication and response to any questions was very quick. Answered any queries we had and added lounge passes to our booking. Hotel and flights were excellent. Phone call before holiday to check we had everything we needed. Would rebook again and recommend to family and friends.
As usual, excellent all round. Ran very smoothly, hotels were good, no problems at all.
Always instantly at hand when they are needed
Never book with anyone else
Great customer service. It’s reassuring to know I can call with any queries I may have. Sarah and Julie have been my main points of contact.
Sean once again recommended a hotel he knew. This time in Naples. The hotel was absolutely faultless. Perfect location which we wouldn’t have chosen if we’d just guessed ourselves. Absolutely amazing trip. Thanks again.
Curtis was very helpful and professional, even calling me a week before my departure to make sure I had everything I needed. Before booking he gave me a few options too and it made it easier to choose the best one. Moreover the booking process was very quick and much easier than if I had booked via a cheap airline. It was well worth paying more for the brilliant service. Thank you. A very happy traveller.
BA overbooked the flight so I had to get one an hour later! But that is the airline, not DialAFlight. Many thanks again
They are always dependable and great communicators, too. I've used DialAFlight for years and have no reason to look elsewhere.
My plan for my eagerly-anticipated trip to Thailand was - there was no plan. Just three weeks of winter sunshine, island-hopping with a girl pal - a relaxing break from my job as a weather forecaster on ITV.
After flying to Bangkok, we took another plane direct to Krabi on the west of the mainland. There was no time to waste... a beach was waiting.
Railay Bay in Krabi is picture-perfect Thailand and the ideal place to kick off a holiday. Long-tail boats parked in neat rows bobbed along the shoreline with crystal-clear turquoise water lapping at the limestone cliffs. The cliffs are popular with climbers.
I didn't quite muster the courage to scale a sheer rock face in a harness - although we did clamber up a 70-degree slope using just ropes. It was totally worth it.
After the initial steep incline, we found ourselves in rainforest-style terrain with a breathtaking view of the entire peninsula.
The striking white cliffs and dense tropical jungle-style greenery define Krabi.
We drank our body weight in fresh coconut milk and pina coladas in our first couple of days as we acclimatised to our new surroundings and gradually began to relax.
Afternoons were spent deciding where to sunbathe after simple lunches - mostly of satays and papaya salads.
We called the latter 'papaya salad roulette'- as you never knew how spicy it was going to be. Some were well into blow-your-socks-off country.
RELAXING MASSAGE
I lost count of the massages we had, each one leaving me blissfully floppy.
We loved the bars with their boho beanbags, low tables and bamboo terraces overlooking the bay.
We didn't want to leave Railay Bay in Krabi, but we had arranged to head to Phuket to meet up with some ex-pat friends over from Hong Kong.
We stayed at the famous Slate hotel. It's a huge hotel with a choice of three pools surrounded by tropical plants - and even our room came with its own courtyard, plunge pool and outside bathtub.
Nearby, Nai Yang Beach was quiet and unspoilt - a fitting location for sundowners and more popular with locals swinging in their hammocks than tourists.
From Phuket, the hotel arranged our transfers to Koh Lanta via the island of Phi Phi, where we stopped off for the day and hired a long-tail boat to go snorkelling. With just us aboard, our guide tailor-made the whole afternoon and we even found an idyllic little secluded bay for lunch.
We then took a ferry to Koh Lanta. Until I arrived in Koh Lanta I thought I had reached the peak of relaxation - but there it was like stepping back in time, with a slightly hippy vibe.
I saw as many home-made signs for beachside yoga as I did for happy hours. The resort was on the edge of Phra-Ae Beach, home to a string of rustic restaurants and chilled-out bars.
BEACH BARBECUES
Beach barbecues became an evening ritual - barefoot, still in our sundresses, bikinis and smelling of sun cream. I'm sure all this made the freshly-barbecued fish and local Singha beer taste even better.
For a change of scenery we took a tuk tuk to nearby Long Beach - three miles of soft sand fringed by shady tall pine trees. The shade was something we were craving after going out on paddle-boards in the strong late-afternoon sunshine.
I'd only paddle-boarded once before but the still, clear waters of the Andaman Sea were the ideal place to get into the swing of it. After a very floppy few days in Koh Lanta, it was time to mentally prepare ourselves to head back to London life, via Bangkok.
BUZZING BANGKOK
Bustling Bangkok was an assault on the senses at first after so much relaxation. But Hotel Muse couldn't have suited us better. In a brilliant location, it was a calm sanctuary in the craziness of Bangkok's streets. Our suite was huge, with the comfiest beds.
Someone had suggested we go to a club called Sing Sing - it's one of the best I've ever been to, buzzy and with friendly staff. With espresso martinis in hand, we made friends from all over the world.
I already plan to go back to meet them there again.
