Not happy with 30kg outbound, and only 25kg inbound? Cost $319 excess baggage..
Will be in touch about booking my next trip
We had to reschedule flights to Australia twice due to illness and Elliot managed to get it sorted with the minimum of fuss. Thank you
Jetstar instead of Qantas for a leg wasn’t such a good experience.
Always excellent service
All flights went like clockwork. Sofitel at Auckland Viaduct was a great choice too. Thanks very much.
Very happy planning the trip with you.
The hotel in Bangkok was amazing.
Always helpful and supportive
Congratulations to Kieran who hasn't failed me yet - his recommendations have always delivered.
I have used DialAFlight for many years and can say that I have never had poor service. Thank you Tammy
Will never travel with Etihad again.
I was really pleased with how you arranged the assistance for me at all the airports - it made it so easy for me to get from the plane and through security.
This was my 2nd trip to Australia booked via DialAFlight. Reece was super friendly with brilliant service
Spencer is outstanding!
Friendly, excellent detailed service
I feel far better informed and more secure when booking with Jack Sullivan's team at DialAFlight
An excellent service from Amy at DialAFlight who found us cheaper flights for our trip with a comparable airline.
Everything worked according to plan. Thank you so much.
After looking for flights myself I spoke to Roy at DialAFlight. He secured me fantastic flights with very little waiting around time at airports with my exact specification. Very pleased.
So easy dealing with you. Service is excellent and responses are fast and efficient
You chose a fantastic airline and constantly provided updates and advice. Your service as a travel agency is top class. So DialAFlight and Singapore Airlines together helped to make my holiday pretty much perfect. Thanks especially to Karl Patel!
Curtis very responsive and fast when i needed to come back earlier than planned due to an emergency. Much appreciated.
Perfect as usual - thanks to Tristan for organising this for us.
We keep coming back. Enough said.
Would highly recommend
Thanks Joe. Excellent trip.
Premium economy very disappointing and not worth the extra money.
No problems at all - will use you again for my next trip.
Their helpful personal service is excellent. Converting a rough plan of ours into a smooth journey cannot be easy but DialAFlight always manages to do it.
After wrapping up another Springwatch series, it was time to put on my ruby slippers and follow the yellow brick road to Oz.
My partner Nick is very Afrocentric when it comes to wildlife, so I've made it my mission to introduce him to the wilds of the world. He'd never seen a koala, kangaroo or wombat, let alone heard of a pademelon (smaller than a wallaby) or a potaroo (a nocturnal rat kangaroo), and neither had my 11-year-old son Ollie.
KEWARRA BEACH RESORT
We flew to Cairns for the start of our three-week holiday, and our first adventure was a boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
It's one of the wonders of the world and Ollie found everything fascinating, especially the fact that clownfish are all born males - the dominant male turns female only when the female of the group dies.
We were staying first at the Kewarra Beach Resort, just north of Cairns, and I woke up one morning to the sound of bats. I followed the racket and found the roost of thousands of fruit bats.
With binoculars, camera and mozzie spray to hand, I enjoyed their chitter-chatter for an hour. I was mesmerised.
Later, we went on the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway over the Barron Gorge National Park - an amazing way to view the world's oldest continually-surviving tropical rainforest.
THALA BEACH RESERVE
We moved on to the Thala Beach Nature Reserve, ten miles from Four Mile Beach. Like Kewarra, the comfortable rooms were set within a rainforest. We kept fit at both resorts: by doing yoga at Kewarra and by walking to breakfast at Thala - it's built on a very steep hill.
We couldn't resist a second visit to the Great Barrier Reef, travelling from Port Douglas.
The marina had a relaxed feel and the weather was sunny and calm.
I saw lots of gorgeous colourful coral and so many fish, and it was a privilege to be in this incredible underwater environment.
DAINTREE ECO LODGE
Next was the Daintree
Eco Lodge and Spa, with 15 beautiful treehouse-style rooms set along a river with a forest view. We loved it.
On our way to the Lodge, we'd stopped at Mossman Gorge and did the gorge walk - a two-hour amble through the rainforest, with an Aboriginal guide giving fascinating information about the site.
We also went on a sunset cruise from Daintree and enjoyed spotting crocodiles, kingfishers and the well-camouflaged Papuan frogmouth (a nocturnal bird related to a nightjar). A full-day tour took us to the remote headland and wildlife reserve of Cape Tribulation, Daintree rainforest, a lunch stop where we hand-fed wallabies - and a visit to a great ice-cream factory!
But a highlight was definitely Jungle Surfing - zip-wiring is surely the best way to experience one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world.
JABIRU SAFARI LODGE
We headed inland to Jabiru Safari Lodge on the Mareeba Wetlands - a totally different experience. It had a real safari feel, with bush tents in open savannah. It really felt like the Outback.
I set the alarm for 4.30am to go on a hot-air balloon ride - so romantic.
After returning to earth we went in search of a wild platypus and with patience saw two in the river at Peterson Creek. They are extraordinary creatures, and we were lucky to spot them as they're nocturnal. We drove to the Nerada tea plantation, where they have resident tree kangaroos - and after a lot of looking we spotted them. That was another big tick considering they are now restricted to a small area of Australia.
I had a special reunion at Tolga bat hospital near Cairns, where I'd filmed at 15 years ago for the Really Wild Show. Staff rehabilitate lots of species but mainly fruit bats.
A relaxing final morning was spent at Jabiru - although we were woken early by a laughing kookaburra.
We all felt as if we'd followed the yellow brick road and had experienced the wonderful wildlife of Oz. But unlike Dorothy, we weren't ready to tap our ruby-red slippers together and fly home - we could've easily stayed for much longer.
