Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Connie Lau as usual was very efficient and professional. All our flights were on schedule and everything went smoothly throughout. Thank you for making a long journey easy.
Brilliant arrangements from Emma
Everything worked like clockwork, many thanks.
No complaints whatsoever. Your consultant Ray has been brilliant from start to finish. Will certainly use you again.
Everything went perfectly as always. Also, I needed a last minute change of arrangement for the chauffeur to Perth Airport and Michelle organised this immediately for me. Thank you!
Sorted out any minor issues that I had. That’s all I can ask
We were recommended to DialAFlight via a close friend because of the great service he receives. While we were away we needed to change a couple of our flights due to unforeseen circumstances and illness, but Guy and his team were always available via phone or email to support us regardless of day or night. We would highly recommend DialAFlight as they have a great deal of expertise to support you.
Again, just amazing service
Just 40 min layover in Hong Kong. Barely enough time to get second flight. Touch and go.
Everything perfect from booking to being kept informed about trip - will use for my next flight
Mia Furnival did an excellent job in supporting the process
Definitely helped me on several occasions and made me feel more comfortable knowing I could contact for support.
Always in communication and really enjoyed my flight... thank you
Thank you Mason for doing the booking efficiently and speedily
Thanks Riley, I'll be in touch for my next trip.
Just a small niggle - can anything be done about the poor airport assistance in the UK. Every other country I travelled through gave excellent service.
Will hopefully be booking with you again next year!
Have used DialAFlight for several years now - delivers everytime!
Very helpful and easy to deal with. Also very responsive to questions and requests.
We managed to pay for seats on Etihad but we tried to choose seats on Virgin Australia with no luck.
As always - everything was wonderful
Always so helpful - never use any other company
The airline let me down. I experienced unnecessary delays each way .
Perfect service.
Great trip. No problems but we knew if there were we'd be in good hands.
Alfie Davis did a great job organising our flights. Great service.
Great service, as always
Excellent communication from DialAFlight and good customer service. They always deliver what they promise.
Excellent as always
Thank you Leo for booking our flights and Cruise in Australia. Everything was first class.
Australia is awash with 'must see' destinations, but the Gold Coast was at one time never really one of them. Queensland's formerly brash coastal holiday spot - home of the bikini and dubbed the nation's plastic surgery capital - was long regarded as a kind of Antipodean Blackpool. But boy, have things changed!
THE NEW GOLD COAST
A thriving film industry has sprung up. Thor: Ragnarok, starring local Chris Hemsworth, and the latest Pirates Of The Caribbean are two blockbusters filmed at the huge Gold Coast Village Roadshow Studios.
Then there's the mega theme parks such as Dreamworld, Wet'n'Wild Water World and Warner Bros Movie World which have helped make the Gold Coast an exciting family holiday destination.
And Spring 2018 will see the region's coastline and glorious rainforest interior beamed on to our screens during the 21st Commonwealth Games, held on the Gold Coast and in Queensland's state capital, Brisbane.
GETTING AROUND
The Gold Coast is actually a collection of vibrant and distinct neighbourhoods fringing 41 miles of breathtaking beaches.
One way to discover them is on the new hop-on, hop-off G:link tram network, which trundles up and down the coast from Surfers Paradise down to Broadbeach, with its elegant concert hall, casino, and huge, designer-label packed Pacific Fair shopping mall.
Just behind the beachfront, neighbourhoods have been turned into island communities by 162 miles of inland waterways.
'We have more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined,' our captain tells us as we sail off to explore the waterways with family-run Wyndham Cruises.
'We may not have the history, but we have the beauty. And we often see ospreys, turtles and dolphins around these waters. And 17,000 humpback whales migrate past the Gold Coast each year.'
The boat slips around water-ways that have folded the land into lush pleats of acacia, palm and eucalyptus trees. On each pleat sits a lavish house, where his 'n' hers jet-skis spoon on private jetties.
This is ultra-exclusive Main Beach, Hollywood's home from home when on location ('that's Johnny Depp's house, that's Penelope Cruz's').
A TOUCH OF GLAMOUR
When they want to party, the stars head to nearby Marina Mirage: decidedly more Monte Carlo than Blackpool, this is the upscale harbour attached to the swanky Palazzo Versace hotel.
The Gold Coast is bursting with imaginative eateries and artisan breweries, and there's a booming nightlife to go with it. The Collective - a five-kitchens-in-one concept with roof bar at Palm Beach - is standing room only.
It's also standing-room only at Miami Marketta, an old tram shed converted into a mix of bars, street-food stalls and live bands. We eat, drink and dance as if we're at a music festival.
An hour's drive up the coast, Brisbane may be Australia's third-largest city, but parts of it have the feel of an old-fashioned country town with plenty of colonial architecture.
I follow the picturesque Riverwalk footpath along the banks of the Brisbane River to New Farm park. Popular with locals for weekend barbies, the key attraction is the magnificent Brisbane Powerhouse: a former 1920s power station, now an arts complex with terraced bars, DJs and bands.
The 214-mile-long Brisbane River flows through the heart of the city.
AT ONE WITH NATURE
I catch a Miramar Cruise from South Bank - Brisbane's cultural hub - to see more of it. It's a beautiful journey past eucalyptus trees crammed with parrots, and vistas of mangrove lagoons and bat colonies. We disembark at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, a wildlife centre for rescued orphaned and injured koalas.
Although they are notoriously lethargic, they are also adorable, and seeing them in all their fluffy-eared cuteness is the perfect end to a trip Down Under.
