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
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.
