Great service
As usual Jerry has been absolutely fantastic keeping us really well informed. Thanks for everything.
Superb as ever
The upgrade to Club for both flights was very successful. The ability to use BA lounges makes a lot of difference to the overall comfort of travel. For once both flights were on time and our hotel was just as expected, but exceptionally busy.
Thank you Chris. Everything went very smoothly. I shall be in touch next time I travel
Jackson is first class
I wouldn’t recommend Celebrity as it was discovered the mattresses were severely soiled by previous users (we’d had them 6 days so this discovery was shocking). It took 10 hours and 4 visits to Guest Services to (partially) resolve by which time I’d noticed other problems with the cabin. Not a great experience
Curtis and Finn thank you once again for the excellent service. You arranged my daughter's flight from South Africa saving her money. You also arranged our flights and hotel in Santorini which were great. I must say the hotel was excellent, the staff were so friendly and helpful I would recommend it to others. So thank you once again for your outstanding service. Both my daughter and I will be using you again soon.
Your help and attention to detail was much appreciated. All excellent.
Food in hotel was disappointing, staff were brilliant
Good hotel, flight on time, all good.
Although the airline were notified my wife needed wheelchair assistance, they had not been made aware she also needed the lift onto the plane. Fortunately, this was quickly rectified by the special assistance staff. Staff at our hotel were immensely caring and supportive of her needs during our stay. We cannot praise them highly enough.
Marshall Finnimore is excellent - he delivers every time.
Ray went above and beyond to find us the perfect trip - and it was
Private transfer was good. Hotel good and staff lovely. Shower was an odd design and leaked every time it was used. Food good. Lots of steep slopes and stairs so no good for anyone with a mobility issue although golf buggies were on call if needed. Lovely and quiet but walking distance to small town.
Brilliant holiday cruise in the Mediterranean, good stop off destinations, Very helpful and friendly staff on board. Followed on by five days in Lisbon at the amazing Convent Square Hotel where again the staff were wonderful and nothing wwas too much trouble. Thanks to Abbie for putting it together for us.
Scott was so helpful from start to finish. Everything was 100%
Brilliant all round
Hannah Kennedy provided an excellent service from start to completion of our holiday. We were provided with various different options and she was always available to answer any questions. We will certainly be using Hannah's services on our next trip.
As always, you are my ‘go to’ when travelling. You’re professional and a pleasure to work with. Thank you
Everything was well organised and location was perfect. Thank you
Jonathan Greaves as usual excellent
Ben Till was absolutely amazing in arranging the perfect holiday to Daios Cove. He was so helpful and made sure we had the perfect holiday yet again. We cannot thank him enough. We will continue to recommend him and DialAFlight
Another great trip. Loved the hotel and private transfers on time in nice cars. Thank you Charlie
Nice hotel. Pity about the music bars across the road open until 5am. Not to be recommended if you want a good night's sleep.
Really helpful staff and ALWAYS help me with anything I need. Takes the stress out of travelling
Once again, first class service from Kylie and the team at DialAFlight. We were able to go on holiday with complete confidence that our travel arrangements were in safe hands.
I have dealt with Brody for a number of years and each time he has given me special attention. Our trip to Kefalonia was magical and we are already planning for next year.
Seat allocation on the plane was bad. In future I would pay a fee earlier to book seats. Also a mix up with rooms meant that certain members of the family could not eat breakfast with the rest in the same restaurant Overall it was a fantastic place and a great holiday
I always find DialAFlight very helpful and easy to deal with
Immediately after winning the Great British Bake Off, I escaped to the delightful Greek island of Kefalonia to kick back after such a hectic time in the tent.
I can still remember that moment in 2016 when I was floating around in the pool and my triumph finally sank in: 'I've won Bake Off!' I said to myself. It was truly wonderful.
TIME FOR A BREAK
My partner Ian and I recently returned to Greece, this time staying at the Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort in Halkidiki. The resort sits at the heart of a large beachside park facing the Aegean, and our first impressions were very good.
Inside, things got even better. The smartly designed rooms all had balconies or patios with sofas, there was free wi-fi, flatscreen TVs, and tea and coffee-makers (amazingly these days there are still some 'posh' hotels that think that offering coffee-makers is somehow naff).
As someone who has a professional interest in cooking these days, I was delighted to discover that the Miraggio has four smart restaurants (and six bars).
KEY ATTRACTIONS
One of the hotel's key attractions is its luxury spa that features hot spring water: there are also outdoor pools and a very good gym.
When you're in a resort as good as the Miraggio, it is so easy to stay put. We had a suite with a private pool and it was just what we needed relaxation-wise. We did lots of carefree chilling out and I have to admit not very much sightseeing! In fact, I'm afraid we left the resort just once for an evening in Paliouri, a gorgeous fishing village located on Kassandra, one of the three fingers of land that stick out from the peninsula.
During a lovely stroll around the village, I just had to check out the competition from the local bakers. I couldn't resist the baklava - rich, sweet dessert pastries made with layers of filo, filled with chopped nuts and held together with honey. They were wonderful and I made a mental note to try making them myself.
BEST THINGS TO DO
If you do want to be busy (as you might have guessed, busy was not on our agenda on this trip!), there are organised activities during the day: everything from archery to zumba, and beach volleyball to water-polo. The organised fun continued after dark thanks to the in-house entertainments team putting on their versions of musicals including Grease.
We did feel a bit guilty not making more effort to get out and see the sights, because Halkidiki is full of history and has some fascinating archaeological sites.
It is a peninsula extending into the Aegean Sea in the far north-west of Greece. Settlers first came here in any large numbers in the eighth century BC and founded cities such as Mende, Toroni and Scione. The city of Stageira, on the east coast of the peninsula, was the birthplace of the philosopher Aristotle - his teachings are said to have influenced every possible branch of knowledge.
MORE THAN JUST AN ADVENTURE
But confusingly we found we weren't sure exactly where we were, as no one can agree on exactly what the peninsula is called - Chalcidice, Chalkidike, Chalkidiki or Halkidiki, depen-ding on who you talk to.
We decided to stick to Halkidiki. Over the centuries Halkidiki has been part of the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire - and was finally incorporated into the kingdom of Greece, as it was then, in 1912 after the Balkan Wars.
There are many intriguing ancient archaeological sites all over Halkidiki, including excavations that revealed stone houses with one or two rooms built by communities in Neolithic times. Many incredible artefacts are on display at the Archaelogical Museum of Olynthos.
In some places on the peninsula, lush green forests reach down to some excellent sandy beaches - and there are some exhilarating mountainous parts too, with slopes covered in pine, oak, fir and chestnut.
There is plainly plenty for me to justify a return visit! But I have also promised myself something else for that trip. I would love to go back to the Miraggio and do a baking demo. Maybe my version of the Parthenon (although not a Kefalonia icon) made out of nougat would be a good showstopper!
