Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
As always, very helpful & accommodating.
Danny is an excellent travel manager. He contacted me before the trip to make sure all was sorted. I have been booking with DialAFlight for 17 years
All worked out perfectly - and it was a complicated trip with many moving parts and 6 people starting in different countries. The DialAFlight app was easy to use and a great way to have everyone connected and updated as flight times changed in the lead up to the multi-faceted travel plan.
Just booked flights this time but always reassured by DialAflight's attention to detail. A call from our agent Ashley a few days before our trip meant so much.
Dominic was fantastic. This was the second time he assisted me, and his customer service is exceptional.
Can always depend on Roger to get me the best deals, special assistance, seats and keep me updated. Always polite and patient.
Thanks so much for your help William, especially with the Heathrow fire - you were still able to secure us a flight the very next morning. Well done!
Everything was perfect
You were great from the start with your help and advice and we knew you were there for us if we needed you. Thanks for being the "belt and braces" of our holiday.
As good as ever, thank you Fraser. You take all the stress out of travel
Customer service levels from Ryan and Guy are very high. Have used them for a long time now and trust their recommendations.
The only downside was not having a DAF rep to inform us of tours and activities
It all went really well. I'll give feedback on the hotel so you can inform other clients of the pros and cons in more detail
Hannah has been amazing with her customer service throughout
Inter Caribbean Airways have a reputation for being late. We were delayed 2 hours at Barbados awaiting flight to SLU. This airline is disorganised and has few controls, resulting in passengers taking oversize cabin baggage on board and then having to transfer it to the hold. Caribbean Airlines much better organised.
Vinnie is fantastic!
Excellent service from Ralph and Tristan. We were impressed with the service and will definitely be reccommending DialAFlight to family and friends. Many thanks!
A very reliable travel company. Wouldn't use anyone else now that I have discovered DialAFlight.
Everything you did for my trip was perfect, many thanks
We were surprised by the resort fees, completely unaware that there would be extra charges of $36 per day!
Everything was so easy and I did not have any worries at all. I was very happy with the customer care and support from Fraser
Perfect trip
Orlando Spragg always supports the client and provides an excellent service.
The crew were excellent but surprised for a 3 hour plus flight no food available other than a bag of pretzels. I appreciate it's BA economy but even Ryanair offers food if you pay for it
Very professional, excellent customer service. Book your flight, get your itinerary without delay, relax. DialAFlight will keep you up to date and are available throughout.
Always book with Kieran Greenfield, best there is.
Michelle is always polite and helpful no matter how many times we ask her to cancel or alter our travel arrangements.
Virgin Upper Class return flight on AirBus 300 with angled offset seating was not practical or comfortable'
Our holiday to St Lucia was one of the best we’ve had and Hotel Stolentime was exactly what we wanted with so many activities included. Thank you.
Glen did a great job!
Last time I was in Barbados, I came across Jeremy Clarkson, shooting the breeze with his crew over rum and cokes on a break from filming for his The Grand Tour show
The little Caribbean island is just that kind of place. Its ritzy hotels such as Sandy Lane and glam restaurants such as The Cliff attract TV stars, Premier League footballers and their wives in droves.
But don't let this put you off. There is so much more to the island than its status as a celebrity haven, and you don't need a footballer's salary to have a fantastic time. I've visited eight times. Here is my pick of affordable things to do, and places to go, eat and stay.
FESTIVAL FUN
Caribbean islands are famous for their festivals and party atmosphere and Barbados is no exception. A raucous carnival takes place in the summer, culminating with the Grand Kadooment Parade, when revellers dressed in feathered headdresses and bikinis strut their stuff through the streets of the island's capital, Bridgetown.
LOCAL CUISINE
Caribbean food has a unique style and trying out delicious dishes is an important part of a visit, from jerk chicken to simmering stews, refreshing smoothies and rum cakes. But if it's a Friday evening, follow what seems like half the island down to the fishing town of Oistins for its weekly 'fish fry'. With a healthy mix of tourists and locals, the atmosphere is convivial, the calypso music deafening, and the food cheap. A platter of swordfish, mahi mahi or tuna will set you back about a tenner.
RACE DAY
It might seem a surprising option, and not the first thing that comes to mind in the Caribbean, but a day at the races is a fabulous outing here. For 170 years, horse racing has been staged at Barbados's Garrison Savannah; the track runs around the edge of what was the parade ground in British colonial times. Meetings have a casual, tropical air, with egrets on the grass, locals downing bottles of beer and kids sucking on snow cones. The dates of race meetings are on barbadosturfclub.org.
SWIM WITH TURTLES
An unforgettable experience is to commune with the turtles Every morning, turtles congregate off the west coast beach of Paynes Bay. The creatures are tame, so as you snorkel they flit around you. Most visitors swim with the turtles en masse on a catamaran cruise, but it's cheaper to get a local to take you out on a boat from the beach. You'll be looking at no more than £80 for your family for an hour - which I think is a snip for one of the most thrilling things you can do on Barbados.
PALM PARADISE
Barbados is, among other things, a gardener's world. Bajans are known to have green fingers - and the island has been selected to host the World Flower Show this summer. Several gorgeous gardens are open to the public. My favourite is Hunte's Gardens, a paradise that is set in a sink hole, with soaring palms, rare heliconias, statues lurking in the lush vegetation and classical music wafting through the air.
BEACH FEAST
It's possible to find gloriously untouristy beaches. You can enjoy yourself like a local for the day at Miami Beach (also called Enterprise) on the outskirts of Oistins. It's a gorgeous strip of sand with a protected cove at one end where locals wallow in the water chatting. Fishcakes and flying fish cutters (the Barbados term for sandwiches) are provided by Mr Delicious Snack Bar, a truck set up behind the beach.
To sample some of the best classic Bajan cuisine, make sure you set aside plenty of time for a blow-out lunch at Brown Sugar, an elegant restaurant occupying the foliage-drenched patios of an old home near Bridgetown. Must try dishes include the pepperpot stew, macaroni pie and rum-soaked bread pudding. The buffet on Sunday is a real treat and extremely good value.
To get around cheaply, my best tip is to stick to the buses - rides cost about 80p.
