Another well managed booking, all ran smoothly. Holiday was fantastic. Galley Bay Antigua was luxurious.
It was very helpful to speak to a person when I had to make a change in travel plans.
Guy was incredible and ensured our whole holiday was perfect from start to finish. Thank you so much
Excellent service from Dylan as usual
Great. Always OK with service given.
BA plane two hours late taking off. One hour late returning. No apologies, not impressed with their customer care. Missed connection coming home.
Ashley was amazing. He was very patient whilst we were deciding on the perfect location for our family holiday! Once we had eventually nailed it down to a location he was able to come up with a selection of resorts within our price range which helped making a decision very easy!
Elliot is the best
Robbie was amazing. Very helpful
Wayne Bailey is excellent and always responsive
Firstly thank you to Emma for sorting out the filghts, she was very helpful and always happy to take my call. With all connections getting back home, it took us 19 hours to get back to Gatwick, now I understand why - Winair are short of staff, hence all the notifications from you that the flight times had been changed. I will not be useing Winair again, for now. Prefer to pay the extra money and use the French or Dutch Airlines to St Maarten.
Any problem always fixed quickly.
DialAFlight deliver what they promise. Abbie is always helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure all our travel needs are met.
Thank you very much Tommy for the organisation and support. Mum had a fabulous birthday.
Stuart always goes above and beyond, never lets us down and is always there if a problem arises
Tara was absolutely excellent in helping us find and book the honeymoon of our dreams. I can’t speak highly enough about how great her communication was, how friendly and polite she was, how knowledgeable she was on the best destination during this time of the year, and helping us find the best available trip for our budget.
James was extremely helpful and supportive
Very impressed with DialAFlight and keeping in touch up to a few days before travelling. Flights are also reasonable with options on payments.
Trevor and his team were very knowledgeable and kept us informed. Their customer focus had our best interests in mind at all times making us feel valued customers
Excellent service once again from Darryll and the team
Fantastic customer service from Calvin. He was patient and accommodating with our request which helped make our holiday a memorable one.
Great service and a pleasure to deal with
Jason is an excellent manager

Fantastic agency

As usual, service was friendly, helpful and it was a pleasure as always, to deal with Saf who arranged and administered our holiday. We could not be more pleased with the communication before, during and afterwards
Cuba is at the top of many lists as a must-visit holiday destination - and there's a big reason for Britons to make that trip sooner rather than later.
For the opportunity to see the 'authentic' Cuba may have a limited shelf-life.
Access to Cuba for American citizens has until now been very restricted - meaning that the country has maintained a 'timewarp' attraction for visitors, with a lifestyle and atmosphere anchored in the Fifties.
But President Obama has big plans to re-develop relations between his country and Cuba - and on the strength of that, mere online enquiries about a holiday there have nearly doubled. Obama has announced a 'new chapter' in relations, with plans including easing access for US citizens, lessening financial restrictions and lifting America's 54-year-old trade embargo.
So the message to British holiday-makers is, see the real Cuba now before the Caribbean country becomes 'Americanised'. The diplomatic thaw will signal a positive future for Cuba - but Brits should hotfoot it there before it changes forever.
America will soon re-open an embassy in the capital of Havana and carry out high-level visits between governments. Initially, the easing of travel restrictions will apply to officials and their families and for educational activities.
Ordinary American tourists will not immediately be able to book holidays - but it is likely that that will soon change.
One travel expert said: 'It really is a unique place to visit, and once it becomes fully open to the Americans they will without doubt pile in. Havana was seen as a party destination for Americans years ago, such was its proximity to Florida.
'Opening up to the Americans will change the way it feels and I think this will be to the detriment of the culture and heritage of the place. I would urge anyone who is thinking of visiting Cuba to book now; there is something about Cuba that you just can't put your finger on. I would say go now, as you cannot be sure the culture and heritage of Cuba will remain as it is now.'
Online searches are up 95 per cent as against a year ago. And as one of the popular Caribbean destinations for travellers around the world, Cuba also remains one of the most affordable. There is also a good choice of flights available from the UK.
Another online holiday booking specialist said: 'Cuba is set to change now that relations with the USA are warming up. While Cubans will doubtless fiercely protect their national identity, customs and traditions - the authentic aspects of Cuba so loved by holidaymakers - change will come. First time visitors and those already familiar with Cuba and her charms should visit now and experience the island before the pace of change speeds up.'
A travel industry expert who has visited Cuba a number of times has mixed emotions about the developments.
He said: 'On one hand, part of the charm and intrigue of Cuba as a travel destination is that it is stuck in time, with few shops, no global brands and of course a huge number of old gas guzzling Fifties American cars on the roads.
'On the other hand it is very evident that change will come at some stage, and that the younger generation of Cubans are waiting for that to happen.
While they have excellent education and healthcare, there is still real poverty, and they lack things that we all take for granted such as a choice of goods to buy (food is mostly from ration shops) and access to the internet and to world news.'
'I have no doubt that change will happen quickly once diplomatic relations start to build, and especially if congress agree to start lifting sanctions, which looks likely to happen now. All these things will take some time, but if you want to see Castro's Cuba before change starts to happen I would really recommend travelling soon.'
Although immediate change is unlikely, the door will be opened to major development to accommodate an expected influx of travellers.
Travelling to Cuba today often feels like stepping back in time – there are no international fast food or coffee shop chains for instance. Visitors must accept that internet access is limited and slow - irritating for some at first perhaps but a nudge in the direction of taking things easy and chilling out.
There are no shopping centres and department stores, and hotels are either fully or partly owned or run by the Cuban state - and of course there is the visual feast of all those wonderful old cars.
Obama's plans will have a major bearing on one famous Cuban industry.
The long-standing ban on importing Cuban cigars will end - and that will be a massive boost to the Cuban economy.
