Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Very many thanks to Ash for organising our trip to Malta which was excellent in every way.
Just keep doing what you are doing!
Fabulous hotel
Fantastic trip, all went very smoothly, great transfers as always. Karl is a great asset to DialAFlight.
Oscar is fantastic! I have total confidence in his guidance in overseeing all my travel arrangements
Always great personal and brilliant experience from DialAFlight. Thank you Kylie for taking the stress out of travelling abroad
Hassle-free, no issues. Had a great trip
Great service from Kylie as always
We had to pay for food in the bar and the lunch was replaced with an evening meal. Overall not good
Robert booked exactly what I asked for - a perfect hotel in a lovely location. Really lovely holiday. Excellent.
A great hotel and resort. We thought we'd only booked B & B but in fact we were 'half board.'
A variety of food but disappointingly it was bland and tasteless. Not much choice for minority customers not even local Maltese food
The return BA flight from Billund was 35 minutes late arriving but got us to LHR 20 minutes ahead of schedule!
Travel by air is an increasingly overcrowded and unpleasant experience.
All went very well including hotel and flights.
100% efficiency and helpfulness. Couldn’t be better!
Oscar and Ross found us a beautifully located hotel at the last minute.
Thank you for a very well planned trip to Iceland. We loved it and really appreciated the support of George.
Very good as usual. Many thanks
Your expert guidance was invaluable. We had fun because you took the stress out of the travel arrangements
Good service. Keep going!
Fabulous accommodation but maybe organise transportation to and from pick up points?
Ace company. Five stars!
Best flight in 35 years of business, all carriers should look at the way Norwegian operate!
Fantastic service as always. Thank you.
Fantastic service from both Sam and Howard. Thank you.
Always available even while abroad, ready to resolve any issues or respond to any queries.
Zoe was really helpful
DialAFlight is the answer to many prayers. Trying to book a flight to Ireland online, I’d been screwed around by RyanAir and Opodo. In despair I tried DAF and Fergus secured my booking with admirable speed and clarity. I know which firm I’ll be using in the future.
As always, peace of mind, knowing that you were there if anything went wrong,
How do you create a hotel in the most stunning setting you can imagine? By carving its amazing rooms into a cliff face formed by a mighty volcanic eruption. Stepping into Iconic Santorini's spectacular hillside setting is an experience that is nothing short of breathtaking.
And being faced with the cobalt Aegean Sea and the tiny white-washed buildings of the astonishingly picturesque village of Imerovigli does not get any less incredible as the days roll on.
The epitome of relaxed elegance, this unforgettable boutique cave hotel features five levels carved from the volcanic wall of Santorini's caldera - each of the 22 beautiful rooms offering its own style.
Aiming for an authentic Greek appearance with a luxurious edge, these distinctive residences come with plush amenities, including Coco-mat linens, huge beds and heated indoor pools.
Homely and relaxing, yet contemporary, these one-of-a-kind rooms all offer splendid views of the caldera from a personal veranda, where guests are welcome to enjoy breakfast in the morning.
Those staying in the Caldera Suites are lucky enough to be able to glimpse the jaw-dropping vista from their own outdoor jetted pool on their private terrace.
Greek hospitality
Eating at Iconic Santorini feels like being welcomed as a new member of a Greek family, with a whole host of mouth-watering traditional dishes and Santorini wine on offer in the Pergola Restaurant.
While relaxation is certainly the name of the game, with an on-site spa available to all guests, those wishing to work off that indulgent feta can sweat it out in the hotel's wellness and fitness centre.
And if staring out at the azure waters or soaking in the sumptuous infinity pool ever gets boring - which it won't - a number of tourist attractions are a mere stone's throw away, including the romantic city village of Oia, famed for its breathtaking sunset, and the quaint town of Fira.
With wine being one of Santorini's most famous exports, an afternoon of tasting is advisable, with the Argyros Estate Winery, Hatzidakis Winery and Santo Wines Cooperative all close by.
Meanwhile, the island is steeped in history, and those wishing to delve a little deeper below Santorini's picturesque exterior will be able to discover the ancient Thera archaeological site, or the pre-historic city of Akrotiri.
Although Iconic Santorini offers all the positives a chic boutique hotel should - luxury amenities, decadent surroundings and friendly and helpful staff - it is the magical caldera setting that really takes your breath away.
Ancient caldera
Santorini is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. This means it is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago that destroyed the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single, much bigger island, and created the current geological caldera.
The eruption may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilisation on the island of Crete, 68 miles to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory is that it is the source of the legend of the lost city of Atlantis.
Now, a giant central, rectangular lagoon, about 12km by 7 km is surrounded by soaring cliffs on three sides. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia. Two channels connect the lagoon to the sea - and all combining to create a simply spectacular setting.
My lasting memories are of magnificent views and an altogether unforgettable stay.
