We always find DialAFlight gives excellent service. Have booked a few times and Callum is excellent
Excellent communication and very helpful
Everything went so smoothly. Having not flown for nearly 4 years DialAFlight made it so stress free. Thank you Matthew Price for all your help.
Thanks so much for the help, support and advice. Much appreciated. Will definitely be contacting you for my next flight.
Trip was just as planned
Billy was fantastic and very patient
Professional, courteous service.
Ryan was brilliant - I do recommend you to all my friends
As we stopped off in Singapore for a couple of days on the way to Sydney we were surprised we hadn’t been informed that Singapore now require an electronic type visa entry to be completed.
The Hilton Garden Inn Terminal 3 is well located for pre-departure stays from Heathrow. Passengers should be warned that there is another Hilton Garden Inn, serviced by a Heathrow hotel shuttle bus, which is less conveniently located and easily confused. Cathay Pacific flights from London to Sydney, via Hong Kong, worked well and landed on time. But from our experience, the "pecking order" is 1. Qatar, 2. Emirates, 3. Cathay Pacific.
Problem with our flight seating but it was out of your control. Otherwise a great holiday
Qantas wasn’t the best, a few problems on the flights and trying to check in. Air crew not as good as some other airlines.
What your staff did was excellent from start to finish. Unfortunately Emirates Airline failed in a couple of aspects. In flight service was fine. 14 hours from Dubai to Sydney with seat which would not recline was bad. Their lactose free meals were awful.
Keeley was extremely helpful and efficient, we found the whole process very straightforward and enjoyed our trip very much.
As always great service and experience.
Emirates chauffeur service - for the second year when picking up in Sydney they used wrong mobile number to make contact. I asked them to phone Australian mobile number but failed to do so.
We were very impressed by Steven Merralls and we have alerted a number of our friends about your service
Thank you for yet another great trip
We had a fabulous time in Australia and the stress of flying was minimised by your organisation.
The flights worked out really well but I wouldn’t recommend that airline to any vegetarians as the vegetarian food options were well below standard.
Always efficient, friendly and able to find exactly the right journey for me. Lucas has organised my annual trip to Australia for several years and there has never been the slightest thing to change or be unhappy with. I would never go to anyone else
Many thanks for such an exceelent service. Will be in touch shortly to plan and cost out next trip
My adventure was made so easy by DialAFlight and your help with everything was second to none. Will definitely use you again and recommend you to all my friends
Great service and flights worked out well
Hong Kong airport is still locked down and a soulless airport with absolutely no facilities to eat or drink. Not your fault but I would recommend avoiding it for transfers!
Excellent service as usual.
Very professional, extremely helpful. I would definitely book with them again! Thank you Mona
Very happy. Brody went away and came up with a flight that matched our criteria exactly. He was extremely helpful and efficient.
Thank you to Lily Reeves for arranging such an amazing trip. Holiday of a lifetime after being delayed 2 years due to Covid.
Will recommend you to friends and I will definitely use you again. Russell Harrison sorted my complete trip - many thanks
You're flying half-way round the world to get to Australia so you need at least a couple of months for a proper crack at seeing it, right?
Wrong. It's possible to get a real taste of the country and see lots of sights in a fortnight if you know how.
3 nights in Sydney
Jump on a ferry at Circular Quay for a view of the city from the water - the Darling Harbour ferry takes you under the Harbour Bridge and round the Opera House.
On a four-and-a-half-hour trip with Sensational Sydney Cruises our skipper Margie pointed out celebrity dwellings, from Russell Crowe's house to the place that Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise used to own. The cruise included a stellar three-course lunch, with time to swim too.
Watch ant-like figures climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge and debate whether you've a head for heights. You also get a great (and much cheaper) view from the Sydney Tower.
Don't just take pictures of the Opera House - you need to go inside. Whether or not you take in a performance, it's worth doing a backstage tour - we were lucky enough to see a rehearsal of the Australian Ballet.
Stretch your legs with a free guided walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens or just walk to Mrs Macquarie's chair, a sandstone rock cut into the shape of a bench by convicts in 1810 for the wife of the governor of New South Wales.
Sydney's most famous beach is Bondi. But Manly is my pick - hire bikes to ride along the pine tree-lined beach and enjoy barramundi and chips.
Ovolo 1888 Darling Harbour hotel is a converted wool store with bright furnishings, modern art and exposed brick walls.
3 nights in the Blue Mountains
Its blue haze created by sunlight on droplets of eucalyptus oil from millions of trees, this mountain range is two hours west of Sydney. The scenery is epic, with sandstone cliffs, waterfalls and hidden canyons - and you can ride the world's steepest passenger railway, with 64-degree inclines.
3 nights on the Great Barrier Reef
It's not easy deciding on the best place to see the world's largest coral reef system, stretching more than 2,300km, with 900 islands, especially with warnings of large areas being affected by coral bleaching and mass tourism.
For serious divers, Cairns in Queensland is the gateway to the best of the reef, reached on live-onboard boats - there are day trips from Cairns, but transfers are lengthy.
Otherwise, stay on one of the islands. Heron Island is a good choice, a two-and-a-quarter-hour ferry ride from Gladstone, itself a short air hop from Brisbane, which means you can spend nearly a day getting there. There's a strong smell of fishy guano as the island is home to 30,000 mutton birds. But it's worth it, because you swim to the coral reef - or take a boat.
Marine biologist Sue took us for a fascinating reef walk armed with sea periscopes for viewing the amazing sea-life - with zillions of sardine-like fish swarming round us.
Best of all was the channel by a shipwreck, which you can swim in. Here we spotted eight massive rays lying in the sand, one with half-a-dozen small sharks on its back, as well as black-tipped reef sharks, green turtles and a rare loggerhead turtle.
2-3 nights at The Red Centre
It's essential to visit the iconic Uluru, a massive monolith rising 1,142ft above the desert floor, with a six-mile girth. There are many ways to view the rock from the 15km trail at its base - walk, cycle, ride a Segway, or even roar round on a Harley Davidson.
You can also fly over it - and you get great views just flying into Ayers Rock airport, with direct flights from Cairns, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Just don't climb up it because it's sacred to the Aborigines - that will soon be officially banned.
We took in the highlights on the Uluru Sacred Sites and Sunset Tour, whilst our guide pointed out honeycomb erosion on the rock, all the while telling Aboriginal stories.
We visited the spot where the first man known to climb the rock ascended in 1873, saw the Mutitjulu cave, with its atmospheric rock art, and touched and listened to the rock (some say they can feel vibrations or a sense of deep emotion).
If you want to explore the nearby spectacular domed rock formations of Kata Tjuta - it's worth doing - you need to add a night to your stay. And there's no better finale to your trip than Uluru sunsets, when the iron oxide in the sandstone glows best.
