Dylan always delivers - must have been dealing with him for nearly 10 years now wouldn't go anywhere else
George and his team were first class throughout and are a credit to your brand. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Excellent communication throughout and I was really pleased with the flights chosen.
Keep up the excellent work
Needed help while on holiday. Neil was brilliant. Wouldn’t travel without DialAFlight now.
If possible avoid Mexico City for transit - have to clear immigration even for transit. No fast track. Took 3 hours one way and 1 hour on way back. One of worst lounges seen. Avoid AeroMexico at moment as still insisting on masks.
I'm really pleased I used DialAFlight and would definitely use them again for our next trip.
I’m so grateful to Glen for arranging my trip to Costa Rica
Super itinerary and excellent service provided by Travis. Thank you.
We have used DialAFlight for several long haul trips and have always received great service and good value flights. Thank you Tara. Always a pleasure speaking with you and receiving your advice and help!
Megan was amazingly helpful - many times
I'm a repeat customer - Christian Burgess is brilliant
Just a real shame we couldn’t get a direct flight to San Jose and back, but that wasn’t your fault!
Absolutely incredible, such an easy and helpful process. Can’t recommend enough. Rupert was truly amazing, helped me way beyond what I expected!
I have used DialAFlight for many years because their advice and service is excellent. Their team takes real care in ensuring the travel plans are the best available. I thoroughly recommend them.
Total trust in DialAFlight and in particular Finn. Second holiday he has organised for us and it was wonderful. Thoroughly recommend him and DialAFlight. His colleagues were fantastic in his absence. Excellent company for holidays!
Thank you so much to Charlie who helped us every step of the way
Perfect service from start to end, along with unbeatable flexibility & pricing. I wouldn't book flights any other way.
Excellent service from our initial call with Robert through to the final flight. He was incredibly personable and helpful in planning the trip of a lifetime for our daughter. So much so that she now wants to take further ‘trips of a lifetime!'
Teddy kept me informed all the way and ensured I was able to access my flight details
Very friendly staff, answered all my questions swiftly
Excellent communication with notifications, information and updates
Cameron was wonderful. Always on hand to answer my questions. Worked hard on all the flight changes due to covid situation.
Refreshingly efficient and helpful and personal - thank you
I really appreciate Conrad's help when I contact him about flights.
Great communication. Quick to respond Great choice of holiday
Excellent service from Ashley as always. Nothing too much trouble to ensure our family has the best trips possible.
Superb planning based closely on our request. Full attention to detail. Wonderful co- ordinated activities between one venue and and another. Very impressed by knowledge of Costa Rica and willingness to consider our selections. Pickups and drivers were always on time in spacious clean cars. All in all, a superb holiday thanks to the commitment of everyone, and especially to Joey who was always there to assist us and for whom we have the greatest respect.
Awesome beyond professional. Real care. Will only use them in future.
Many thanks to Ethan. Very helpful and organised everything for me including a hotel as long wait for connecting flight. Definitely recommend
When your two sons’ favourite TV programmes are Weird Creatures With Nick Baker and Austin Stevens: Most Dangerous! you have a choice: stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it isn’t happening or go with the flow.
So it was that I found myself crouched on the floor of a hotel room in Costa Rica at 2am, trying to catch a spider the size of a fried egg with a tumbler.
In my imaginary life, holidays are spent on a sun lounger. Back in the real world, I’d travelled to the depths of the Costa Rican rainforest with my sons, nine and six, to look at monkeys, caimans, frogs and, yes, spiders - although I hadn’t bargained on having to share a room with one.
Thanks to the country’s incredibly varied landscape, Costa Rica is one of the most bio-diverse countries on earth - it has rainforests, cloud forests, beaches, hot springs and volcanoes.
It’s anything but a Third World country. The streets of San Jose are clean, the people well-educated and the hotels fantastic. To get a proper sense of the place, you need to travel about, which means a lot of driving, although flying is quicker.
My sons had a wish list of animals they were dying to see. Top of the list were the monkeys and, cruising down the river in Tortuguero National Park, we watched fascinated as white-faced capuchin monkeys leapt from tree to tree over our heads.
Our first stop was the Pachira Lodge in a lagoon in the heart of Tortuguero National Park. It’s an eco lodge with its own dock, boats and guide, but there was no air conditioning or TV. Instead guests gravitated to the pool bar where there was a lovely breeze. It was very friendly and sociable.
The best time to see monkeys was early morning. We also spotted toucans, herons, caimans and even a wild otter.
Our next stop was Tabacon Resort and Spa in La Fortuna. Here you can see the active Arenal Volcano, experience hot springs, and visit Cano Negro Wildlife Park, which you do by boat. The animals were astonishing.
The hot springs are free to guests and you dip into a series of swimming pools with natural waterfalls.
On then to Manuel Antonio on the coast and the Arenas Del Mar Hotel. Here we had a hot tub overlooking a pretty cove, a super-comfortable bed and flat-screen TV. My eco conscience was clear as it is sustainable - even the shampoo is biodegradable.
The boys loved it because it was in the middle of a forest, which meant easy access to more wildlife. It is also useful for visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park where we saw more monkeys, lizards, crabs and very lazy sloths doing nothing but clinging to branches.
The highlight was when a wild deer stepped out of the forest and walked alongside my eldest son. He will never forget it. If you are going to the park at Manuel Antonio, take a swimsuit, because there is a lovely beach. It is sheltered, so ideal for children, and we had a great afternoon playing in the water and collecting hermit crabs.
Our final stop was the Paradisus Playa Conchal Hotel. The Paradisus is all-inclusive with jaw-dropping pool, bars and restaurants and lots of activities.
The best bit, as far as the boys were concerned, was the possibility of having a Playstation, X-Box or Wii installed in your room.
Still, on the flight home, I asked them what their favourite part of the holiday was.
I expected them to say the X-Box, but they didn't. The highlight for them was the Pachira Lodge, with the monkeys hopping about on the roofs. Seeing wildlife on TV is all very well, but when you see it for real, it beats the pants off any computer game.
