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!
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.
