Fergus did a great job organising our flights. Thank you for being so efficient at your job. I have recommended you to my family and friends.
Excellent and comfortable flight. Thanks for all your help
Callum is very customer focused - great job!
We have been using DialAFlight for over 20 years. You have arranged some amazing trips
I've been booking my Argentina flights with DialAFlight for over a decade and you have been 100% reliable every time! I always recommend you to friends
Gareth Carver - again superb.
Always use you guys for our travel requirements!
DialAFlight have handled my flights to Colombia for a few years now and they are wonderful. Thank you
Great service provided by Dennis as always! Helpful at all times and quick responses. Our trip to Colombia went smoothly with no delays or issues, provided with flight updates and information at all times near the time to fly. I will definitely recommend and looking forward to booking my next adventure with you!
To get it right - Dial A Flight.
BA left our cases in Heathrow on our return flight to Manchester. They took 3 days to be returned. Otherwise everything went well
Zac always goes above and beyond - great service as always, thank you
All went well except the car hire at Santiago. Alamo have no presence at the airport, there was no answer from the phone number we'd been given and it took 3 calls to DialAFlight in England before we were able to be taken to the depot. Apart from this everything worked well especially the Las Majadas hotel and we are very grateful to Micky for arranging it all.
Apart from a problem at Santiago airport (not your fault) our complex itinerary was handled extremely well. I thoroughly recommend DialAFlight to anyone who will listen.
A tiny issue. The seats booked beforehand did not respond to layout in the Dreamliner. No problem though as able to change seats at check-in
Everything worked out as planned even though the airline changed flight plans before leaving. DialAFlight sorted out the situation which resulted in an even better flight home. Very pleased and will be using them again in the future
Des was excellent. Customer service 5 stars
Impressed with the speed of response
Very helpful and efficient
We were very pleased that Cody recommended taking 3 premium economy flights with Latam, as it was well worth paying the small extra price, especially when we had access to the international Latam lounge in Santiago airport
You are always super helpful and friendly, thanks.
Not very impressed with the service or food on Iberia, really poor actually!
Excellent service as usual
Hotel dated but well located. Check in with internal flight SP - RJ with GOL a real nightmare and your agent didn’t inform us that we would have to pay extra for any checked in suitcases
Exceptional service as usual.
Kirsty is great and we have used the services of her and DialAFlight for several years now.
I couldn’t make the check-in link work from your email and had to check in via the Avianca website - otherwise it was all very good
The services provided were truly remarkable, particularly the efforts of Seymour Fernandez, who went above and beyond to ensure that our holiday experience was enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking an exceptional holiday experience.
Excellent customer service - very helpful and I would definitely book again, top notch.
Very helpful & very professional
She keeps popping into my head. No doubt teenage eco-warrior Greta Thunberg would approve wholeheartedly of Costa Rica's much-heralded efforts to look after its outstanding natural beauty.
But you just wish Greta would smile more, despair less and have some unadulterated fun.
Thank goodness the five-million people in this spectacular country - with Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south - smile a lot and have fun. Ticos, as Costa Ricans are called, are gentle, welcoming and wear their eco-credentials lightly.
Almost three million people visit every year, with Britons at the forefront.
Despite its small size (roughly similar to Denmark), Costa Rica possesses more than five per cent of the world's total biodiversity, and its disbanding of its army in 1948 means huge financial resources have been ploughed into education, resulting in a literacy rate way above the Central America average.
Its slogan 'Pura Vida' (pure life) is apt considering the ancient rainforests, volcanoes, waterfalls, coffee plantations, national parks, hippy-dippy surf towns, rumbustious Pacific and calm Caribbean coasts, plus, topping the bill, wildlife comprising 250 species of mammals, nearly 9,000 bird species and more than 250,000 types of insect, including a quarter of the world's butterflies.
We flit back and forth between the two coasts and experience ferocious but exhilarating downpours, plenty of clear skies, high humidity and temperatures around 28 degrees.
In the capital San Jose we stay our first night at Grano De Oro, a colonial-style hotel.
Next day we head in our rental car west to the Papagayo Gulf, where Moroccan/French entrepreneur Mehdi Rheljari has opened a five-room eco-lodge called Kasiiya - one of the most exceptional projects I've ever seen, mainly because you might never know it's there.
Such is the minimal footprint of the tented suites that it's howler monkeys who have more of a presence. The young staff are totally committed to Mehdi's vision. A shaman-type character operates from a treehouse spa; barefoot Bruno, originally from Berlin, offers 'movement sessions' (some of which involve taking your cue from animals); and naturalist Manfred leads hikes pointing out the wildlife (with a tear in his eye when an osprey does a fly-past).
Even with Satnav our next drive, south to Santa Teresa, is a challenge on roads sometimes bumpy, sometimes with giant craters.
Perfectly positioned Hotel Nantipa has been open less than a year. Its modern design (teak wood and huge sliding glass doors) is in stark contrast to Santa Teresa's hostels, shacks and yoga retreats.Mel Gibson has a place in town; so does supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
David Cameron has spent Christmas near here, as has Canadian PM Justin Trudeau .
I'm not a surfer, but if I were this must be one of the greatest places to practise one's 'aerials' and 'backsides'. A two-day stay was far too short, but we headed next for Tortuguero National Park and sloths, iguanas, crocodiles, killer frogs and snakes.
We break our journey in La Fortuna and stay one night at the highly-recommended Amor Arenal. A nearby farm has its own nature reserve, concentrating on sloths. By definition they don't do much, spending hours wrapped around a tree branch.
La Fortuna offers white-water rafting, canyoning, zip-lining, horse-riding and hot springs, in the shadow of the country's biggest active volcano, Volcan Arenal.
The main access point to Tortuguero National Park is some four hours away, in La Pavona. Included in the rate at Tortuga Lodge is one morning and one afternoon safari.
Our final destination is Puerto Viejo in the far south-east. It's a colourful, buzzy little town where Jamaicans settled some 100 years ago. They came to Costa Rica to build the railways - and never left.
It's ramshackle but with a growing number of chi-chi shops, bars and restaurants.
We stay just off the main drag at a delightful little place called Aguas Claras, handy for the beach.
'We've left the best until last,' I tell Joanna as we head for supper at a restaurant packed with locals. Puerto Viejo is a glorious fusion of Central American and Caribbean cultures - and reason enough to return to this gentle and engaging country.
