Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
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
Ian Newton is nothing short of a miracle worker. I regularly share his contact details with family and friends and was delighted to be able to use his professional knowledge and efficient services when I joined STM two years ago. Thank you DialAFlight!
Luscious, seductive and the sun is always shining. That's the way Corfu is depicted in ITV's charming new drama, The Durrells.
What's more, the island is teeming with snakes and tortoises, and there are quaint tavernas filled with boisterous locals beneath olive groves on the edge of sparkling, cerulean seas.
But does the pristine, pre-war vision bear any relation to present-day reality?
Corfu certainly suffered some overdevelopment in the tourism boom of the Sixties, but it still offers opportunity for a host of authentic Durrell-esque experiences, and a whole lot more besides…
In the footsteps of The Durrells
In 1935, the dysfunctional Durrell family – pretentious twentysomething novelist Lawrence, gun-crazy second son Leslie, man-hungry teenager Margo and animal-loving Gerald (who grew up to be the conservationist and author of My Family And Other Animals, based on his time on the island) – upped sticks from chilly England, led by their long-suffering mother, and settled near Corfu Town.
For a similarly idyllic location, your best bet is to visit the pretty north-east corner, where The Durrells was filmed. The lovely bay of San Stefano is a perennial favourite with British holidaymakers. Or you could even stay in the apartments at the atmospheric White House in nearby Kalami, where Lawrence wrote.
Animal magic
If you're keen to catch sight of a few tortoises of the kind that fascinated young Gerald, visit in late June when they're at their most active. Hiring a motorboat is a must. You could even spot a pod of dolphins, or even a ponderous sea-turtle.
Discover Margo's bay
One of the island's prettiest spots for dropping anchor and having a swim is the tiny bay that hosts a little stone shrine to St Arsenios, just south of Agni Bay. If you search, you'll find a sea-level cave there.
It's a shimmering chamber accessed by a corridor in the rock, with a separate underwater exit for the adventurous. Climb up to the shrine, too, for a look.
Water parks for children
Corfu has several fantastic waterparks, including the mighty Aqualand near Corfu Town (two-day tickets cost £20 for children, £28 for adults, aqualand-corfu.com).
A jewel of a town
Too many people leave this isle without ever discovering Corfu Town. This jewel is a unique blend of cultures, which pay testament to the nations that have controlled it during its multifarious history.
Where else in Europe can you find a British cricket pitch, in front of a French colonnade of cafes, which gives way to crumbling Italian architecture?
Climb to the top of the Old Fort and enjoy the magnificent view over the town's ramshackle rooftops. Afterwards, visit the blackened remains of St Spyridon, Corfu's patron saint, in the church that bears his name.
But the best thing to do in Corfu Town is simply to explore the endless narrow winding streets, housing lovely little bars and shops.
Dine out in style
The finest restaurant in Corfu is the recently re-opened Venetian Well in Corfu Town, hidden among the back streets. It's pricier than most places, but worth the stretch.
And don't miss...
Try to visit Angelokastro, a Byzantine derelict castle on the west coast near Paleokastritsa.
Scan the sea below for rocks in the shape of ships; legend has it that the sea-god Poseidon punished the locals for helping his enemy Odysseus by petrifying one of their vessels.
