Thank you Jerry Bushell and Marie for another fantastic service
Everything fine as usual!
Usual professional assistance we are used to.
Delighted that you managed to avoid any issues with the French Air Traffic Controllers strike, well done.
The hotel Amadeus in Seville was excellent, so convenient for walking to all the main attractions.
Thanks Shaun - another lovely holiday
Brilliant service as usual..
The personal touch, quick phone answering and helpline are very reassuring.
Gavin brilliant as always
Tristan was very helpful and friendly, I would certainly book flights with you again.
I felt almost guilty for my return flight being on time. Snow on Friday 10th March delayed the Birmingham flight by 8 hours and many others similarly!
Could not fault Alfie and his exceptional service
Absolutely 5 star. Thanks Rudi
Always a pleasure to deal with Richard, everything ran smoothly, 5 star service.
Flown with you many times over many years. Thanks once again for a great trip
Alfie sorted out a lovely hotel for me in Puerto de Cruz....it was in a super location. The hotel did not provide any food but the area had loads of bars and cafes. The hotel in Costa Adeje was where I stayed last year and its location is also fantastic and the staff there are really lovely and helpful.
Seamless from booking to landing, couldn't ask for more. Joey Verner is absolutely outstanding - 1st class - advises on and sorts all my queries and bookings in a jiffy, without any fuss
Great customer service. Thank you Jordan
Thanks to Glen who planned my holiday - everything went smoothly as planned
Eric and colleagues were brilliant!
A great trip, nice hotel in excellent position, faultless travel arrangements as usual by our favourite DialAFlight.
Alawys extremly helpful and very good service -have been using DialAFlight for many years
First class service
BA were not on time either out or in - as usual. God knows what you are meant to do if you have a connecting flight when you fly BA! The Club element was poorly managed, almost non existent at Las Palmas - both checking in and boarding.
Love dealing direct with the same voices, year after year, and trip after trip: Nick, Bailey and the team sort out our holidays, rugby trips and short breaks!
Another excellent trip, all very well-organised. Lovely hotel in a great location.
Good communication, great service.
Usual excellent service from a great company..
Everything was perfect. All your staff were very helpful, especially Oliver Orr.
Excellent in every way
Reaching the top of a twisting trail through the forests of Monte Urgull, I suddenly saw why the city below is sometimes compared with Rio de Janeiro.
From the rocky crest, a giant statue of Christ opens his arms, blessing San Sebastian. At his feet lie golden scallops of urban beach, sandwiched between green pinnacles rising from a vast natural harbour.
This is the setting for the Basque city on the Bay of Biscay, chosen (jointly with Wroclaw in Poland) to be European Capital of Culture 2016.
It is hard to ignore the twinkling of Michelin stars in Spain's foodie capital – that's what the city is known the world over for. More about the grub in a moment, but I was here to taste some of the other cultural delicacies of San Sebastian, or Donostia as it is known in the Basque language.
The seaside town has been attracting cultured sophisticates ever since the Spanish royal family made it their summer base in the 19th century. Alluring art nouveau hotels and mansions soon became the rivals of fellow Basque resort Biarritz across the French border but just 20 kilometres away.
Since the Fifties the cream of Hollywood have been drawn here by the annual September film festival, which is artier and more compact than glitzy Cannes, according to the cognoscenti. And for half a century the July San Sebastian jazz fortnight has been drawing grandees of the music world.
The length of the city's coast is fringed by a boardwalk, starting at the surfers' Zurriola beach, then skirting the Urgull peninsula headland to La Concha bay, which must rank as one of the world's top urban beaches.
The esplanade rounds a horseshoe of golden sand more than a mile long, facing dark green Santa Clara islet. As I strolled along, the stirring echoes I felt of Rio's Copacabana beach amplified as I neared the rearing Monte Igueldo headland.
The old quarter, I found, is as walkable as the sea-fringe. A grid of narrow streets pedestrianised from noon onwards (after the vans delivering food have gone), is relieved by open spaces such as Plaza de la Constitucion, where windows have seat numbers dating from when the square was used as a bullring.
There is a neo-Gothic cathedral and some fine, older churches. However, the way to observe the town's purest religion is to eat. Pintxos – the version of tapas that Basques take to dizzy heights of delicacy – are the order of the day (and night).
People swarm to sniff out morsels of edible art including dishes such as chipirones en equilibrio (squid, patterned with caramel filigree).
As I tried to walk off my gastronomic indulgence by hiking up Monte Urgull, I concluded that the Rio-like panorama was as visually appetising as the most elaborate San Sebastian pintxo.
