Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
I was surprised that we made a stop in the DRC en route from Nairobi to Ndola. I would want to avoid that on a future trip but it wasn’t a problem on this occasion. Loved the App for doing check in and being able to see all flights in one place. Many thanks for all of your help. Will definitely use DialAFlight again.
Everything went well. With your company I always travel with peace of mind that if things do not go well I have you to help - as has happened before. Thank you, you will always be my travel partner.
BA's holding area for passengers needing assistance must be upgraded and must be made rodent free. it was quite disturbing seeing rodents running around on the floor and under the furnishing. No bottled water was provided while passengers waited in the holding area, when the flight was delayed.
Huge thanks to Zoe Lane who went above and beyond yet again. I’m so pleased I deal with DialAFlight as her service is of the highest quality.
Wonderful trouble-free holiday arranged by Sarah. We have used your company many times and will continue to use you.
Thank you Glen - everything ran smoothly
All went well. We were kept informed and there were no problems
Only suggestion is to have a WhatsApp or chat to communicate with DialAFlight especially during out of office hours in case client has no roaming access.
Not sure we would opt to fly with Qatar again - not what it used to be. It just didn’t have that professional / customer service edge over other airlines that it used to. DialAFlight 10/10 as always!
Really good communication from arranging the trip to completion
Great service from Donovan as per usual
Theo was a star. It was really reassuring that he was in the background on what was anything but a straightforward trip.
Thank you for a great service - always on the end of the phone when we had a query and able to help.
Lucy McNab was excellent!
Staff in the lounge and onboard were friendly and helpful
Helpful and efficient as always! Many thanks.
Really appreciated the call the day before we left to ensure we had all docs and reminding us to check-in. Thank you!
Stacey Rayner is a Rock Star !
We trust DialAFlight always - and staff so friendly polite and efficient - well done
Amazing holiday to South Africa and the service from DialAFlight was first class. Flights and hotel were perfect.
It would have been very helpful to have had the literature given at the "meet & greet" on arrival in Windhoek a month before departure to familiarise with routes between accommodation.
Thank you for your help with this booking
Excellent service as always
Always select a great hotel and good flight options. Fantastic service!
Always use DAF - have done for 20 years - that says how pleased we are.
Alfie was an amazing holiday organiser. Very helpful and found me the best venues. I really enjoyed my holiday.
I was very happy with the service provided by DialAFlight and would recommend them to family and friends
Kieran and team are amazing
Everything went smoothly and to plan. Another excellent trip thanks to DialAFlight
Good to include baggage allowance in the DialAFlight app rather than a link to the airline site…particularly for smaller airlines where this info isn’t easy to access nor correlate with the flight booked
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.
