Great service. Sebastian very good!
The service and advice leading up to our holiday and the assistance thereafter was second to none. Many thanks from Sue and I.
Great communication and helpful staff.
Isla brilliant as always
Whenever I had a concern the team put my mind at rest. I have used DAF a few times and I feel like a valid customer not just a number. Well done to Trevor and his team.
As usual Molly found us good flights with only one connection and booked us good seats. I use DialAFlight for all my journeys as they are trustworthy and always helpful.
We experienced checking in problems which were mitigated by your kind assistance. It would be helpful for BA to be contacted to improve their systems.
From start to finish DialAFlight provided a superb tailored holiday as per our request with excellent results. They were always a dial tone away and will be my first port of call for future holidays.
Kennedy is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so very much for organising our holiday - we had an absolutely amazing time
Airlines need to reduce prices
I recently purchased 3 tickets for a multi trip in the USA. Warren managed to find a really good deal which was even better than the Internet prices. A very big thank you for excellent customer service and dedication
Dealing with Luke Nielson is an absolute dream - he's so helpful. Have recommended a lot of people based on the service I receive from him

No issues at all. Very smooth. I would go via Atlanta again. Super new Rav 4 car hire.
Great flights everything went well. Having assistance booked for us made our flights and airport time manageable. Thank you
Service was first class, all my requirements were met. Flight details were clear and precise. I would definitely recommend to family and friends
The main difference between using DialAFlight and any other company is the staff. They are experienced, knowledgable and helpful and the communication the best I've ever had. I'll be calling them next week for another booking.
Freddie sourced flight options that British Airways were unable to provide, at a highly competitive price, and meticulously arranged hotels and car hire. His consistent availability and ability to offer valuable alternatives and favorable pricing were invaluable. I greatly appreciate the assistance and seamless booking experience offered by DialAFlight.
Always excellent
This is my 3rd time using DialAFlight and Nicky and her team are always helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you for all your help

Thank you for the good service
I would always use DialAFlight now. Matt and team looked after me so well. Took the stress out of travelling
There are many beautiful, majestic tombs, from the Taj Mahal in Agra, to the Pantheon in Paris, to the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. Then there's the tomb of Fredric J. Baur.
Mr Baur was the proud inventor of the Pringles can and his ashes are buried in one in the suburban cemetery of Springfield, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Pringles mini-mausoleum of Mr Baur (1918-2008) tells you something about his home town.
It's a quirky, diverting place. It's also a brawny, historic, sometimes handsome, deeply American city of 2.2million friendly people. What's more, it's just become super-accessible thanks to a new direct British Airways route.
The first thing a traveller should learn is that the city is divided, physically, emotionally and politically, by the grand Ohio River. On the south you're actually in Kentucky, even if it feels like you're in a suburb.
In the early 19th century, this gulf twixt Ohio and Kentucky was huge, because Kentucky was a slave state and Ohio 'free'.
Slaves would sometimes flee across the river — a drama reimagined via impassioned murals on the southshore riverside by the prettily antique iron Roebling bridge. Check out the excellent Freedom Museum. Hugely sobering, seriously moving.
Otherwise, southside is great for sightseeing — and fun. It harbours some of Cincinnati's loveliest 'burbs, like Covington, where you'll find a refurbed Victorian pleasure zone.
Called Mainstrasse, in honour of the first impoverished German migrants, it is now chocka with beer gardens, restaurants, ice cream cafes, tattoo parlours and a bar — Cedar — that does the world's most satisfying Bloody Marys, which come complete with a king prawn garnish. You're meant to have them with brunch. Some might conclude they actually are brunch.
Southside is also where you'll find the best bourbon (for which Kentucky is famous, along with bluegrass and horses).
An example is the New Riff distillery. Take a tour, sit down for a tasting and finish by filling your own bottle of the good stuff.
Then retire to a great southside hotel, like the Covington (a restored 1900s department store) and have dinner at Bouquet, a block away with its succulent wagyu meatballs and pink-perfect Maple Farm duck.
Now it's time to head north, between the soaring stadiums that oversee the river like mighty fortresses: here are the homes of the famous Cincinnati Reds in baseball and the almost-as-famous Bengals for football.
If you want an authentic Cincinnati experience, buy a ticket for a game — the entire riverfront throbs with life, laughter and excellent craft lager (the city has 50 breweries) when the teams are in town.
Chunks of central Cincinnati are your standard American downtown, but there are still multiple gems. Head to Over-the-Rhine, another historic, boozy, gritty yet up-and-coming quarter named for German migrants. It's like Shoreditch meets boho Berlin with more hot dogs and some fine boutique hotels, such as Symphony, whose name denotes the grandiose music hall next door.
Not far away you'll find Findlay, a pretty, engaging, iron-roofed Victorian food market. This is a good place to try the famous, or infamous, Cincinnati chilli, which is spaghetti covered with chilli covered with cold shreds of cheddar with added cumin, vinegar, chocolate and perhaps several frankfurters. Go on, give it a go.
Where next? If you want, after your weekend in surprising Cincinnati, you could tour the rest of America — being so central, it's an ideal base for American road trips.
Alternatively, if you desire something eccentric yet entertaining, go to the American Sign Museum — a seven-buck Uber ride from downtown. It sounds boring but it's brilliant in a pure Americana-in-neon way. And it's unique, as befits the town that buried the Pringles guy in a Pringles tin.
