Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We had a great trip and the tours were excellent.
Would be helpful if BA provided a proper reference for connecting flights to allow for online check-in.
Totally dependable, professional, friendly service and a trusted source of advice.
Very good service and even knew we had a problem with a missed connection, without us contacting them, and offered assistance. The service is excellent and having the peace of mind that you have a real person available to assist is very reassuring.
As always Gavin was amazing. Helpful, attentive and customer focused
Very informative, helpful and knowledgeable about my route and all worked out well … many thanks to Chris Briggs
Ivor provided ecellent service at all times, no hesitation in using again and recommending Thank you
I‘ve had nothing but good experiences with DialAFlight.
All went according to plan. Many thanks to the team at DialAFlight
Jamie was exceptionally helpful but was unable to get BA to account for their fault.
Iberia flight a disaster
Great job again Amelia
Amazing holiday - would recommend
I have bought my ticket to Brasil every year from you and with Jake Chudasama. Would not change anything. He is very attentive, helpful and nothing is a problem when I have a few questions.
The whole trip went like clockwork and the tour company in Peru were excellent - so helpful and friendly. All the hotels were very comfortable and the receptionists were very helpful with all our requests. Our guides were all so knowledgeable and pickups were always on time. A most memorable holiday.
Doug is always very helpful when we have complicated long haul flights to book.
Thank you Samuel - you were brilliant as always in finding a reasonable priced ticket. Looking forward to booking again later this year.
Another perfect adventure put together by Libby
Thank you Vinnie and team for 10/10 service.
We had some problems on our return transfer, however this was not a direct result of DialAFlight and a problem with the airline
Despite being a Canadian on this tour which came with a few unexpected and frustrating changes, Guy did a great job with communication and answering questions. Thanks for everything to ensure a great reunion with my friends.
Ash Pankhania was excellent - he guided me through my options and worked quickly and efficiently to get me booked and on my flights. Communication following my reservation was also excellent and I will certainly book through you again
A hassle free way to organise what was a fairly complicated trip.
Everything went beautifully. Thank you.
Great service and a fantastic trip Lovely to have personal service and attention from Robert .
Thank you for a very smooth trip
The only problem we had was at Sao Paulo on the outward leg where we had great trouble getting boarding cards via Gol Airlines. I failed to do it on my phone and a girl at the desk took some time to achieve it too.
Had an issue with a flight from Salta to Buenos Aires being cancelled and moved so we would arrive at the estancia around midnight. But Rosie managed to get it changed to a morning flight which made the experience better as we would have had only a full day there otherwise
Great service as usual from Joe and Jamie - will continue to use them for our holidays.
Manny and his team couldn't have been more helpful - including rescheduling a missed flight. I've used DialAFlight for many years, and friends I've recommended have also been delighted to find they offer prompt and friendly service. You can actually talk to one of the team 24/7, they are unfailingly helpful, efficient and nice.
Built on a stunningly beautiful bay with crystal clear Mediterranean waters stretching as far as the eye can see, the five-star Hillside Beach Club takes attention to detail to new heights.
The much-loved 20-year-old Turkish property has an impressive 60 per cent return rate, with many visitors checking in each and every year.
It's perhaps unsurprising then that a recruitment drive for a Chief Instagram Officer inspired more than 70,000 applicants to send in picturesque snaps.
The high-tech hotel even has an app for spa, water sports or yoga reservations (as well as a daily newsletter for the not-so-tech savvy) and one for ordering supplies on the beach.
Every luxury cushioned sun lounger comes with a waiter call button.
With 750 rooms high above the sea, the hotel has breathtaking views across a beautiful bay, but their almost obsessive attention is their true speciality.
My companion was my shrewd fashion buyer friend - also with a close eye to detail. And we're already planning our return.
Not just because the air-conditioned, wi-fi enabled one-hour transfer came complete with chilled water and mints. That was simply the first of many brilliant touches to come.
A recent Yoga convert, I loved that there was yoga first thing in the morning on the Silent Beach and in the evening on a shaded balcony.
There were many places to relax in the sun - one big pool, three beaches and two floating jetties. The Silent Beach (no mobile phones or children) was the utmost in tranquility.
Nestled next to the Nature Spa, therapists walk the beach handing out ginger tea and firm shoulder massages.
Serenity Beach, a short boat ride away, is adults only too. The boats leave every 15 minutes and a simple lunch of barbecued lamb or chicken kebabs with salad awaits.
For those seeking an action-packed break, there's windsurfing and diving - as well as coaching for kids as young as eight. There are snorkelling tours, night diving, sailing courses and guided catamaran tours, water-skiing and wakeboarding.
For days out, there's an eight-island boat tour and romantic sunset cruise. Add to that hiking, trekking and mountain biking, an off-road jeep safari and a cultural tour to ancient ruins and there's little chance you'll be bored. Shuttle buses take guests to downtown Fethiye, 10 minutes away.
The food at Hillside offers some-thing for everyone and your main challenge is how to avoid putting on weight in one of three restaurants.
International cuisines bustle with delicious traditional Turkish fare at the main buffet. Don't miss the Borek; fat filo pastry cigars filled with soft cheese, lemon and herbs. The humus, tzatziki and traditional Turkish salads are also a delight.
Cherries were everywhere with guests encouraged to help themselves to huge handfuls.
A Turkish night in the buffet was packed to the rafters with the best shish, kofte, chicken and lamb kebabs you've ever tasted. Outside stalls recreated a bustling Turkish bazaar, selling woven rugs and jewellery.
At Beach Bar, we enjoyed a candle-lit Italian feast of a set menu right on the beach watching an incredible sunset while we ate starters of anti-pasti, gazpacho, burrata, bruschetta, sun dried tomatoes, Italian cheeses and carpaccio and a second course of clams, jumbo prawns and courgette fritters.
Unable to pack in the main course of lobster, we did force ourselves to enjoy as much tasty Italian ice cream as we could manage. We even spotted a shoal of flying fish while we ate.
Dinner at adults-only Pasha is right on the seafront and offers another exceptional set menu of freshly-baked herb bread, Turkish salads, calamari, jumbo prawns, octopus, and seabass.
For dessert we tried a little chocolate fondant, creamy goats milk ice-cream and Turkish pumpkin terrine.
Every day at around 4.30pm chefs wheel out Turkish bagels, cakes and cheeses to be enjoyed with traditional Turkish tea.
You can take your pick from one of two on-site spas, the luxurious metropolitan Sanda Spa offering traditional Turkish hammam, a Jacuzzi, sauna and Elemis treatments, or the Sanda Nature Spa, high in the hills surrounded by pine trees and waterfalls.
I went for a deeply relaxing Lemon and Honey facial and I came away feeling the most stress free I have in years.
My guest had the Balinese Boreh – a warming aromatic traditional body scrub made from herbs and spices – which she gave equally rave reviews.
Safe to say we didn't manage too much conversation that afternoon as we snoozed and read the day away on the Silent Beach in a state of absolute relaxed bliss.
