Thank you to the lovely Monica
Claire is absolutely fabulous and the reason that I keep coming back.

No problems whatsoever. Very satisfied with everything.
We had an amazing holiday, so well organised and put together by Libby
All round excellent service provided by Ian once again, competitive prices excellent communication and helpfulness.
Great service
You will be my first choice for booking future travel. Marco, thank you, your customer service skills seem to come naturally to you.
Thanks to Cody for arranging this holiday for us.
Your manager (Marshall) was absolutely superb in dealing with my booking, as always. Professional, knowledgable and giving excellent personable attention to all aspects of my booking. I have sought his personal attention to my repeated bookings for the last 10 years and his excellent service ensures my repeat custom.
Adam was so incredibly helpful as was Mason in his absence. Very responsive and reassuring. We were travelling for the first time with a toddler long haul so were very apprehensive.
Really pleased with booking process
DialAFlight offer a comprehensive service, I have used them many times thus providing piece of mind that your booking will be secure
Kelly was amazing. A great holiday
Thank you guys - you got us out there at short notice.
They had an IT problem at KL so the flights were disrupted and our bags weren’t loaded and were delayed 2 days. The DialAFlight side of things was very good as usual.
We had a very straightforward booking but it was handled efficiently and professionally. I had 'shopped around' a great deal before booking, and DialAFlight were very competitively priced.
All good as usual.
Excellent management as always.
My trips abroad are always well organised by Roray with extra customer care. The hotels which you used for our trip were amazing
My family and I have used DialAFlight for many years and have always found the company extremely competitive, to the fact that we don't even shop about. Special mention to Roray, who is always polite, courteous and understands our needs. Same time next year!
Always deal with Callum - very professional and eager to help if there's a question
Cameron is the best!
Great service, good prices and Fraser was helpful.
Woody was fantastic once again sorting out my flights
Nice to know you were backing me up
I have been using Ashley for a few years and would not go anywhere else. He is always extremely efficient.
Many thanks to Jordan
Excellent customer care - very good support
Brilliant customer service.
Phuket may not be perfect. But parts of it are approaching that state of bliss. And it's fairly easy to avoid the parts that aren't.
For example, the busy beachside strip of Patong can be rather a test of patience for those of us who might have grown a little weary of sunset-to-sunrise shenanigans.
But that's not the whole story. After all, Phuket is quite a big island, stretching 30 miles north to south and 13 miles across (joined to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge) and it offers plenty of options for holidaymakers looking for almost-guaranteed sunshine.
It has come a long way since the days when it boasted just a few beach front bungalows for barefoot backpackers in the Seventies. Back then, it was a grim 17-hour bus ride to get there from Bangkok.
The construction of one international airport later, and there are more than 750 licensed places to stay, with 47,000 rooms available. And in the next few years another 35 hotels are expected to be built.
Mick Jagger, Beyonce, Kate Moss and Rihanna are among the celebrities who have all checked in at Phuket at one time or another. On my most recent visit I stayed at the five-star Dream Phuket, a newish hotel on Layan Beach, a lovely, tranquil stretch of sand on the island's west coast. It is only 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport, but definitely away from any hustle and bustle.
Dream Phuket has large pool complex as well as a beach setting
It has giant beds in large rooms, partly open-plan bathrooms, an enticing swimming pool, international cuisine, a roof-top bar with infinity pool - from which there is a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding lush hills - and a great spa offering the full range of treatments including deep tissue massages, aloe wraps and spice scrubs.
At the signature restaurant Trilogy, there's a 'theatre' kitchen where you can watch the chefs sauté and flambé to their hearts' content.
The hotel is not directly on the beach, but it has a separate beach club, with sun loungers and private cabanas, just two minutes away by shuttle bus.
The clear waters are perfect for snorkelling
It is at the beach club that the young and fabulous from Russia, Singapore, Australia and Britain pose on their stools at the swim-up bar and use their phones to snap, study and share their selfies. All day long.
That is good news for the rest of us, as it means there's no wait for the cheap massages on the beach. They're seriously good; I couldn't resist having two in one day. During one of them, a vast man having a massage next to me snored loudly despite the fierce kneading.
Less than half a mile from our hotel is the Project Artisan, Laguna. A labour of love from a gentle Croatian couple with a deep affection for all things Thai, it's a restaurant and deli, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The hotel also offers foot massages and mani-pedis, while there are plans for a cookery school and art club.
A boat trip is a must. Some prefer to barter for a place on speedboats, which take a well-worn route to celebrity-touched islands such as Phi Phi Le, where Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Beach was shot.
It's clear to see why Phi Phi Island was made famous by The Beach
I opted for a trip on a larger boat which motored to the less well-known Phang Nga Bay. If you want to be more active you can kayak, swim off the back of the boat - or watch long-tailed boats take visitors to the islands of Khao Phing Kan and (The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed here) before returning as the sun sets.
The boat crew speak fluent English and Chinese and, at the end of my trip, the captain said: 'If we have done anything wrong, we hope you forgive us.' There's absolutely nothing to forgive.
The next time I return to Phuket (and I will be returning) I hope to explore more of the island and perhaps fit in a safari experience – yes they offer safaris in Thailand! There are some great luxury safari companies which come highly recommended and offer authentic and respectful encounters with native wild elephants and other spectacular wildlife. After all, there’s more to Thailand than stunning beaches and spas- but it’s a good place to start.
Amazingly it is simple old fashioned service that sets us apart from other travel firms. And yes, we really do answer the phone within 5 seconds!
Check out the reviews on Trustpilot and the word ‘service’ appears again and again. And you’ll find many reviews from customers saying they wasted hours trying to plan a holiday themselves before calling us - often on the advice of a friend - only to find we could offer numerous options not available online which also saved them money.
