Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
All great thanks.
As usual Stuart gave an excellent service. Our journey was seamless and worry free. Having the app to refer to was great. Thanks again - and we’ll be in touch soon to organise our next trip.
Excellent, the best travel agent!!
Excellent service - highly recommended
It's been a friendly and straightforward process.
Robbie Kharbhari excellent as always - reliable and sorted flights. Pleasure to talk to and got the job done!
Great service, thank you
I have booked several trips with DialAFlight and always had Ivor as my booking agent. Frankly, I wouldn’t use any other agency and Ivor is simply amazing. He has saved me a fortune in the past and always helps my wife and I to create bespoke travel experiences.
Always excellent service!
Quick service, prompt responses to queries. Would recommend
Air Canada were awful but love DialAFlight
My thanks to Tony Judge
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely book with the company again
Would never want to fly out of LHR Terminal 4. It is a hideous place to depart from or arrive to. Would pay more and fly out of a different terminal on a different airline.
Perfect in every way.
Excellent service as always. Every little detail is taken care of and any questions are answered so quickly. The App is also very useful.
Brilliant service as usual
Our return flight was delayed by 9 hours but that was nothing to do with you!
As with all of Troy’s trips this one was perfect.
Bill Naylor - and his team at DialAFlight have looked after my travel arrangements for a number of years. I would not think of going anywhere else for help - or managing the potential stress of bookings myself. They are so helpful and although I`ve never needed to call on them it is reassuring to know that they can be contacted if I had a problem.
From the initial phone call to the last flight home it was a fantastic service. Jed located a flight at a much better price than I could find with multiple options
As always great service.
As excellent as usual
To actually speak to a human being is so much more preferable. No pressing numbers and waiting, and lots of support . Thank you DialAFlight
And we got an upgrade!
Excellent service, knowledgeable and courteous staff and effective customer service. Keep up the good work!
Before both outbound and return flights, we received a number of emails from WestJet telling us that we needed to pay for baggage, when it had been included. This was a little disturbing as I felt unsure as to what I had actually paid and what was outstanding.
Thankyou, Jarvis! All perfect as usual.
My experience with DialAFlight is very good, Russell is always very helpful, as are the other staff I have spoken to and I do recommend you to other people. Our flight back was pretty horrendous due to weather problems in Canada and to top it all 2 of the lifts at Heathrow weren't operating.
I have used DialAFlight on numerous occasions and simply would not consider using anyone else. Monika Jain has been my contact throughout and the service she supplies is exceptional. She goes out of her way to research the best options for me, is extremely professional and friendly and even remembers details about my family members! Support does not end once the flight is booked as Monika has even spoken to hotel staff in Hong Kong on my behalf to resolve an issue. DialAFlight is a thoroughly reliable brand with outstanding staff!
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.
