Great service from Thomas particularly when flights were cancelled and had to be rearranged.
Easy to get to speak to someone and very flexible with working round Covid restrictions
Fab service as always
Great advice to leave two hours between planes, we were glad of it. As ever, great phone support. A dependable partner for our travel plans.
As always a premier service from a premier company. Everything went smoothly, no hold ups no hiccups and a comfortable flight throughout.
We have been using your firm for our travel requirements since 2009 and have always been extremely satisfied with your performance. We always use the same contact. Robert provides excellent service and goes out of his way to help. They feel more like friends than business contacts.
I’m grateful to Noah for working so hard over the last two years to finally get me back to Australia with Qatar Airways. It’s currently the best airline as far as I’m concerned. Brilliant
Everything went smoothly and I really appreciated the visa, Covid and other guidance provided to prepare from my trip.
From the start planning our trip Jackson and his team organised everything to perfection
We always had first class help from Glen
Roger was extremely helpful, kept us informed at all stages of flight cancellations and was knowledgeable about vaccination requirements for each country
Great service as always
Dealing with DialAFlight your tickets might cost slightly more than booking directly yourself. But the advantage is that you have a phone number that is answered almost immediately, speak to a human, no jingly music whilst you are put on hold, and any problems, queries or hitches, in my experience, are sorted for you.
Amazing personal service - have used them many times and would not go to anyone else
Well done, great job. Will be in touch soon for next year.
You are always so helpful with information before a flight especially during the pandemic when so much information was needed…thank you
All 4 flights with Emirates were excellent . I was very impressed with premium economy
I feel so comfortable and happy with your service provided by Orlando. Many thanks till the next time
All good
We dealt with Niall for our trip to Australia. He is kind, professional and extremely patient. Would highly recommend.
Will certainly use you again
I already have recommended you to a few people telling them how amazing and efficient you are. I even recommended you to someone in Australia. Thank you very much I will be using you again ..
We were happy with DialAFlight staff who helped us through out our journey. So thank you.
We have used DAF exclusively for many years whenever we need a flight. The care, attention and backup given during the buying process and whilst away are amazing. I felt as if Les was my best friend which was very reassuring particularly with the added worries of covid.
Have dealt with Robert each time we have booked for Australia. It has been cancelled due to covid one way or another. Never had a problem getting money back, he has been spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
I would llike to thank Philip for his patience regarding the many changes we had to make to our booking.
We’ve used DialAFlight on many occasions and will continue to do so, excellent service every time.
Despite all the covid regulations for Singapore and Australia everything went like clockwork. The service provided by Ashley was exemplary
Thank you so much for your help getting to Australia and sorting out all the flight changes. Personal service much appreciated.
Russell was superb - his professional advice and general knowledge when traveling under the cloud of covid really helped to ease the hassle
You don't have to score a number one album to holiday like a superstar. As many well-heeled Aussies know, the uber-luxurious privately-owned Hamilton Island is a fabulously picturesque place to get away from it all – and is conveniently located just off the Queensland coast.
HAMILTON ISLAND
Hamilton, by the Great Barrier Reef, is also the largest of the inhabited Whitsunday Islands, known for their pristine whitesand beaches and crystal clear water. Taylor Swift is among its greatest fans. Along with her family and 125 members of her crew on tour in 2016, she spent several days at Hamilton's famed Qualia hotel and resort - and she took the opportunity to explore the nearby reef.
We arrived on Hamilton Island after an overnight Reefsleep on a pontoon in the middle of the sea, so we were eager to hit the island's many gorgeous beaches as quickly as possible.
LUXURY ACCOMMODATION
However, we first visited Qualia, the island's most exclusive resort, on the northernmost point. It boasts a selection of luxurious villas such as Beach House, Windward Pavilion and Leeward Pavilion. Beach House has an elegant open-air 10-person dining area and a private infinity-edge swimming pool. Designed in an airy open-plan style, the living room has a panoramic vista of the Coral Sea.
The word Qualia means 'a collection of deeper sensory experiences' - and the hotel lives up to its name. Crafted f rom timber, sandstone and glass, it has 60 private pavilions, all discreetly hidden away behind lush greenery and strategic gates.
Fine dining options are available at Long Pavilion or Pebble Beach, where we enjoyed a feast of fresh seafood that included chilled king prawns, local reef fish, seared scallops, oysters and grilled Whitsunday bugs. (For those who don't know, bugs are a type of lobster) Pebble Beach also has a large infinity pool and cocktail bar where concoctions such as banana coladas can be whipped up on request.
THINGS TO DO
Those sandy shores are Qualia's base for a range of watersports, so if you were ever going to opt for a sea-kayaking adventure on the Coral Sea, this is probably the place you'd want to do it Other accommodation options on Hamilton Island include the adult-only Beach Club, on Catseye Beach, which comprises 57 luxurious rooms and a childfree restaurant and lounge. We stayed at the Reef View Hotel, which offers fabulous Coral Sea views, with very comfortable rooms - and friendly cockatoos who visited the balcony daily.
On our second day on Hamilton, we took off in a golf buggy - the quickest way to get around the five square-kilometre island - to explore. The relatively unmarked roads, however, do offer a bit of a navigation challenge. Still, it was a lot easier getting up to the island's famed lookout point, One Tree Hill, this way than on foot. There's no better place to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset.
There's also a bustling marina, as well as a main street with shops, restaurants and evena nightclub. Here you can buy everything from sun cream to iced coffee - although at much higher prices than on the mainland, so stock up on aloe vera before you arrive.
SOMETHING SPECIAL
One afternoon was spent on a chartered yacht to a private beach, home to a national park and completely secluded. Snorkelling in the area is exceptional - or as an alternative diversion, at the island's Wild Life Sanctuary you can book in to have breakfast with a koala or kangaroo and be photographed with them.
But it was on the following morning that one of the most memorable moments of the trip occurred. We were invited to meet - and have a quick cuddle - with an adorable koala at the Beach Club resort. It was the perfect end to an idyllic taste of paradise – and also provided me with one of my most-liked Instagram posts of the year
