Prompt and helpful - every time!
Time between flights just 1 hour. Usually you give me 2 hours. Flight landed 20 minutes late so had mad dash for connection. Not good at our particular age. Just made it.
The staff are always very helpful. I have used DialAFlight a number of times
Just returned from a 4 week holiday which I booked through Kennedy - a wonderful trouble free experience. I would recommend to anyone.
Never used DialAFlight before but Gavin was so helpful and patient. Will definitely book again.
All arrangements worked smoothly, thanks so much!
Absolutely brilliant as always. Thank you Calvin.
Qatar Airways changed a connection flight allowing 55 mins which was extremely tight giving only 10 mins breathing space to get to the outward gate
Dominic was really helpful, can’t rate him enough
Excellent customer service, always answered within a few rings and if the person dealing with me wasn’t available, the person answering the phone would help me out. 100% great. Thank you.
Good service
I dealt with Connie Lau who was very efficient and kept me informed every step of the way.
Great organisation, kept up to date on all changes. Hayley was brilliant would definitely recommend.
Excellent service
Fraser was very helpful
Stan organised my flights and was very helpful
Everything went to plan
An absolutely brilliant service from beginning to end especially with my Travel Consultant Abbie. I have recommended DialAFlight to lots of people and will be using again in future
Sally Button was excellent. She did everything to help us through the booking experience and offered us many options. Highly, highly recommend her
Roger was extremely helpful and kept us informed at all stages. The service was excellent
Isaac and Jenson were excellent. Our original 2020 booking was postponed and then rescheduled several times because of Covid, enabling us to visit Australia in December 2022. All our flights and accommodation went to plan, making our Australia trip stress free.
Elliott and Roy were absolutely fantastic and most helpful. Singapore Airlines on the other hand were fantastic from London to Singapore BUT from Singapore to Brisbane and Melbourne decidedly sub standard in both Premium Economy AND Business Class
Very pleased with the service
Everything went smoothly
WIll use again.
Great service as always
Amelia was absolutely fantastic. Got us a great price for our flights to Australia and took us through every step. Flights were great and all went smoothly.
Everything went well. Flights excellent. Thank you. I'm always confident of your service. In particular Ellis. He is extremely capable and a pleasure to deal with. Inspires confidence.
Great personal help from Gareth
We did have a problem with the car hire in Brisbane but this was quickly resolved by Marshall who has been excellent throughout the organising of our 6 week trip. Highly recommended
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.
