In this Covid situation my booking was changed multiple times but this was dealt with absolute patience. I highly recommend DialAFlight.
Really pleased with the service provided by DialAFlight and will certainly use again when things return to normal.
Troy, who dealt with our travel in India before the airport lockdown, was very informative and efficient - it was like he was sat with us explaining everything and got us home safely
Outstanding service - wouldn't go anywhere else to book
Saf , thank you so much for your support, understanding and getting me out at such short notice. I have already recommended your name to several people
I think I was on the last Emirates flight out of Kochi to Dubai but safely home now and had a wonderful trip! Your support from afar was much appreciated.
Thanks for everything. Smooth running.
Owen and his team were fantastic during a time of great turmoil
Great service. Staff are responsive, helpful and supportive. Highly recommended.
Under changed circumstances you acted promptly and got us home fast from India. Excellent service
Always been happy with service - will always use when flights start again
The Lalit hotel in Kolkata was a pure delight - quite the best hotel I've ever stayed in on my travels.
Have used DialAFlight for many years and I can’t fault the company...very experienced and professional. Debbie who dealt with our flights is on the ball, so glad we got home a few days ago with this virus causing mayhem around the world
All good - great trip.
Good service as always
Amazing quick, efficient service.
We have used Dialaflight for the last 7 years the service is excellent. We have travelled to New Zealand, India, South Africa, Borneo, Malaysia , Cook Islands, China, Singapore, with no problems. Their agents in India were fantastic.
Will be booking for next year
Always helpful and charming with lots of patience. Thank you.
Once again, all went like clockwork, thanks.
Would not hesitate to use this company. Excellent experience
I have already recommended you to friends and they have already made bookings through you.
Always helpful, always answers the phone. Personal service.
Annoyingly we were unable to choose our seats even though we logged on the second we were able to do so. I can only imagine that everyone spends £46 in order to reserve their seat early in economy plus?
Very impressed
A great holiday with no problems at all. Best move I made using DialAFlight.
Dominic is extremely helpful and always checks we have everything to make our holiday memorable
Sean arranged a holiday of a lifetime for us to India and Dubai. You're lucky to have such a helpful and caring professional person to work and promote your company.
I regularly book with Monika and the arrangements have always gone completely smoothly and this trip was no exception. In addition the advice I was given proved to be extremely helpful. I always complete these post-trip evaluations and I'm beginning to run out of superlatives to describe my experiences!
Will rebook with you as soon as we can
Some of us simply can't do a whole English winter any more. For me, there is the added business every December and early January of being on the panto treadmill, three shows a day, in Guildford.
What's more, this year, the Grim Reaper had been scything like Poldark through my address book. I needed a break. I needed sun. Then someone suggested Goa is a goer. 'Goa?' said our son. 'Isn't that where you take stimulants and rave?' Well, excuse me if I rave.
THE LEELA HOTEL
The Leela Hotel is wonderful - despite the fact that Putin visits. Sir Mark Tully, the BBC's voice of India, stays, as does Sonia Gandhi, who arrived shortly after we left.
My wife Kate and I flew there non-stop and then had an easy 75-minute transfer.
Many of our fellow passengers were heading for package hotels up the coast, rather than sweeping into The Leela's discreet gates at the end of the peninsula.
A BIT OF BACKGROUND
The Leela was built 26 years ago and has benefited from less strict planning controls than exist now. It was able to secure a private beach then, not possible now, so that means it can put as many sun loungers on the sand as it wants.
Hotels now, fronting public beaches, can park no more than a dozen loungers. But for Leela guests, there are more than enough loungers for everyone.
Croquet is the only nod to the Raj, but the guests nevertheless are 50 per cent English: you can tell by their Boden linen. An elderly lady archaeologist from Pimlico, an accountant from Bromley, a yoga teacher from Hampstead. All regulars for decades. 'What makes this place,' they chorus, 'is the staff.' The astonishing ratio is 3.5 staff to each guest, lifting your finger before you're even aware that it needs lifting.
Of the rest? Russians (in bling), Euro-randoms (Italians leading the charge) and wealthy Indians. Their children are perfect: well-behaved and virtually invisible.
AT THE BEACH
The beach is perfect, too – no lacerating coral, the breeze cooling without sandblasting. At sunrise, there are dolphins. Sea eagles frame themselves beautifully between palm trees.
Sandpipers dart. Beach guards keep hawkers away. At night, you watch the lamps on the fishing boats and owlets hunting.
The huge rooms are scattered around 75 acres, overlooking lagoons where pink lilies bloom.
There are private villas, too, within the – yet more exclusive – Club, for Bollywood stars and Mr Putin. Silent buggies convey the elderly from joy to joy.
Conferences are discreetly arranged, wedding pavilions erected and down by morning. Indian ceremonies are welcoming and their tribute bands do a creditable Radio Ga Ga.
We attended not one, but two, Punjabi weddings of radiant couples we had never seen before, nor shall again, but may blessings rain upon them. My meditation class was too singsong to be intelligible, but the four-year-old Indian boy in front of me had it sussed. The gym is so deserted that the trainers are truly personal. In the top-flight spa, Kate had a magnificent holistic massage, with oils, bells and probably whistles.
CULINARY DELIGHTS
All You Can Eat was never like this. Thyme-scented lentil soup with roasted walnuts? Goan kingfish? A bewildering vegetarian menu, creamy dhals, dhingri palak? Desserts? How about rabri (cardamom condensed milk) and dates in soft, white fudge?
Trips to the Goan capital Panaji with your own driver are astonishingly inexpensive and you can shop there for textiles, paper and incense.
Ten miles on and Old Goa, with its Portugese churches, is unmissable. 'Another day in Paradise,' says the daily Leela newsletter. Nonsense. Paradise can't compete with this. Paradise won't have so many staff.
Amazingly, it is simple old-fashioned service that sets us apart from other travel firms. And yes, we really do answer the phone within 5 seconds!
Check out the reviews on Trustpilot and the word ‘service’ appears again and again. And you’ll find many reviews from customers saying they wasted hours trying to plan a holiday themselves before calling us - often on the advice of a friend - only to find we could offer numerous options not available online, which also saved them money.
Our team of 300 travel managers has been arranging tailor-made holidays for almost 40 years and we believe no one does it better. Judge for yourself.
