Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We dealt with Erin Scott from Manchester. It was a difficult time for our family and Erin helped us in a calm professional and caring way.
Superb as always, thank you
Will use again, takes the hassle out of booking long flights.
Everything went great and I enjoyed my travels. Booking travel plans with DialAFlight always makes things so smooth and easy.
As usual, Harvey was excellent.
Never want to transit through a USA airport again because of the poor facilities, long queues and double immigration emigration procedures
Ben was professional and very helpful. Followed up with a call and email before the trip. Will be booking my next trip soon
Owen Burrell was excellent throughout!
Fabulous service from Danny Perez..
The kids loved the Village hotel in Singapore
Great support - responsive help and advice and actions when needed.
This was the first time I used DialAFlight and I was very impressed with the level of service I received from Charlie. He listened to my requirements and did his best to meet these needs. He found me a great deal and my wait times in international airports were minimal - much better than I was finding through trawling various internet sites. Charlie kept me updated by email of the flight details - and was quick to let me know when the airline had amended one of the flight times. The personal touch to the service was excellent and much appreciated.
Excellent service.
Great service from Stacey Rayner from start to finish. Would definitely recommend her.
All went smoothly and flights were not delayed.
A suggestion: List hotel stopover options where you've been offered deals.
Excellent service from Jarvis from start of trip to end - would definitely recommend to friends and family
Helen Jones and all those we encountered whilst planning our trips were very helpful, polite and interested in making our holiday what we wanted. Thank you!
My thanks to Donovan who arranged this trip at very short notice and with usual efficiency and courtesy
Every communication was prompt, efficient and friendly. I’d like to have Bella acknowledged for her professionalism enthusiasm and efficiency. Will definitely recommend
Excellent as always - thank you Glen.
Been using the company for years and service always superb.

Great service from Lee, would use again
We have used DialAFlight for a number of years and always have good service. You only get what you pay for in life - if you want good service then you have to pay a bit more
Great dealing with DialAFlight, very friendly and professional - special thanks to Lewis - also love all the emails he sends out with lots of information with a lot of humour - thank you
You'd think that being a chef, I'd want to escape the toils of the kitchen while on holiday – but the opposite is true. I jump at the chance to experience new flavours and gather fresh inspiration.
And where better to tickle your tastebuds than in glorious Grenada? The island is known for its zesty spices and self-sufficiency – the only food it imports is milk.
Meat and fish are plentiful and, because the soil is very fertile, the vegetables, fruit and salads are the glossiest you'll ever see.
Grenada's seasons are similar to our own, which means cauliflower, broccoli and pumpkins in spring. Exotic fruit – mangoes, star fruit, passion fruit, melon and skin-up, which is like a lychee – are the stars of the summer.
Autumn heralds guavas, sweetsop (sugar apples) and soursop (similar to pawpaw), and then there is the temptingly named mammee apple, which is a Caribbean version of a peach.
I stayed in the southwest of the island at Peter de Savary's Mount Cinnamon Resort on Grand Anse Beach, near the charming town of St George.
It offers well-equipped self-catering villas, each with its own terrace and wonderful views of the bay. You can cook your own supper, but the bubbling restaurant scene is difficult to resist.
Beach bars abound. I especially liked the Beach Cabana at Mount Cinnamon, where they serve fabulously strong cocktails made with local rum at all hours of the day and night.
People come across from nearby islands to enjoy the weekly bonfire on the beach, at which local musicians play. This is the Caribbean at its best. Just beware of those generous drinks measures!
The main restaurant is the open-air Savvy, where the farm-to-table cuisine features a mix of Caribbean and Asian traditions with freshly-grown vegetables from the hotel's own gardens and from nearby plantations.
I order plums, mangoes, cherries and avocados, all picked that day. The fish is as fresh as can be – so the tuna tartare, a signature dish, almost leaps off the plate.
The next day, I watch a fish cookery demonstration at Mount Cinnamon: a traditional dish of kingfish marinated in coconut, ginger, lime, spices, peppers and chives, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked over a wood fire, and served with delicious breadfruit chips.
If you want to mingle with Grenadans, there is nowhere better than a rambunctious food market. St George's market brims with local spices and everything else that is grown on the island.
In a 17th-century working plantation – a colonial house and estate – you can witness the crops of fruit, exotic flowers and spices in their regimented glory.
Here, I learn to cook the Grenadan national dish, oil down. This is a hearty, one-pot meal with salted meat, chicken, breadfruit, callaloo – which is like spinach – and dumplings. The whole lot is stewed in coconut milk. Delicious!
The food odyssey continues in the evening when I visit BB's Crabback Caribbean restaurant (which interestingly began life in West Ealing, London), overlooking the harbour – specialities here are curried goat, king prawns cooked in butter with lobster sauce and chicken breast marinated in 12 herbs and spices and cooked in coconut oil.
My favourite place to eat on the beach is La Sagesse, on its own strip of sand from which you can swim in a bath-temperature sea.
No tour of the island would be complete without a visit to the River Antione Rum Distillery – the last one in the Caribbean to make the drink from cane sugar, as they did in the 18th century.
Belmont in the Grand Etang area is a fully functioning plantation and organic farm. We taste goat's cheese and salt fish fritters, a popular local dish.
Even the governor grows her own vegetables. Her Excellency Dame Cecile la Grenade is the island's first woman governor and has held the office since 2013. She is also a food scientist and received an OBE from the Queen for the food business started by her mother.
Her extensive gardens are full of exotic vegetables, fruit and spices – a dream to any aspiring cook. Even the paths are made of crushed nutmeg shells. A fitting tribute to this fragrant and friendly island.
