Emirates were fantastic the best service and very quick getting through baggage and customs
Keep up the good work
As always very helpful
I have used DialAflight twice - Great company and nothing is to much trouble will defiantly use again
Great service from you and Emirates. Only marred on one leg having to sit next to a woman of a certain size whose body fat squeezed below and above the arm rest and took up a quarter of my seat.
Keep up the good work
Always get good advice and service.
Very efficient and friendly service. More than happy to recommend and I would use your services again.
Used before and will keep using - fair prices
4 wonderful flights with no delays and great service. Meals were lovely. Back to visit family again next year. Here's to the next time with DialAFlight.
Once again trouble free travel arrangements, thank you.
The holiday was perfect from start to finish -well done Ivor
Great price and advice on booking to get a competitive price. Good email liaison.
Fab service all the way - thank you Jordan Will certainly use DialAFlight again without any hesitation
Many thanks to Lloyd and his team. A credit to the Company.
Flights with Thai Airways worked well particularly the timings. Thanks Lee
Really helpful and made everything easy from start to finish.
Reece delivered once again, never fails
The only problem was that Malaysian Airlines are not sure what a vegan meal is. But as usual DialAFlight provided exemplary service and I will always use them. Highly recommended.
Robert had great customer service skills. Friendly, helpful and informative. Everything happened as he outlined. I did not have any problems but felt confident the after sales care would have been there should any complications arise.
The anticipated 'assistance ' through the airports failed on one sector on the way out and completely on the return journey. Fortunately I was not too bad and managed to cope.
All went well, you have never let me down, many thanks.
Assistance at Sydney Inernational to Domestic was really terrible (in and out of the wheelchair, walk down steep steps and look after myself ) I just thought you should know.
Edward Brown is a top bloke - very helpful.
Jeremy my consultant was brilliant.
I can’t believe how smoothly everything went, excellent service. Great price, everything just how I wanted it and the most polite and helpful people I have ever done business with. I will sing your praises to everyone.
Again you have delivered and helped get the best price for a short notice booking. I have used you for a number of years and you have never failed to provide an excellent service
Sadie did an excellent job and even did our group's Australian visa. I would highly recommend Sadie to anyone going longhaul
Stacey was brilliant and went the extra mile
Very friendly and helpful. Have used you many times. I always recommend
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.
Amazingly it is simple old fashioned service that sets us apart from other travel firms. And yes, we really do answer the phone within 5 seconds!
Check out the reviews on Trustpilot and the word ‘service’ appears again and again. And you’ll find many reviews from customers saying they wasted hours trying to plan a holiday themselves before calling us - often on the advice of a friend - only to find we could offer numerous options not available online which also saved them money.
Our team of 300 travel managers has been arranging tailor-made holidays for almost 38 years and we do not believe anyone does it better. Judge for yourself.
