Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Everything on my trip went smoothly so I had no need to contact DialAFlight after my initial booking.
I cannot recommend DialAFlight highly enough - you always get excellent service from them
Service or should I say lack of it from American Airlines was dreadful. I do not want to fly with them again.
Excellent as always from Michelle Dooler .. booking / planning / help / communication. Amazing and impeccable attention to detail. A brilliant holiday made so much easier with Michelle's involvement .. always recommend her
As always you delivered. Pure excellence
Awesome as always. You guys really understand quality of service and how to make customers feel they are in very good hands!!
All guidance very accommodating. The Atlanta hotel was in a good position so appreciated Teddy finding this
We have used your service for many years and Chris Coulter has been amazing every time. We are so very happy with DialAFlight
Molly was very helpful. I had assistance both ways. Now I am 90 not sure of my next trip.
Once again a flawless trip with the reassurance of having you on hand if anything goes awry
Debbie and her team are amazing - another trip, another fabulous time, everything was perfect, can't wait for the next one.
Everything was perfect!
Brilliant trip. Thank you once again Isla. You’re simply the best.
Jamie always takes care of our trips and this time was no exception. The itinerary worked as planned. Very satisfied
Will definitely use you again
Easy to get assistance when needed. Extremely helpful.
Brilliant service as always from Michelle Dooler
Molly offered me a choice of routes, booked seats for me, which was very helpful, and checked in with me that everything was organised before I left. Great service.
Cannot fault your service nor LHR assistance. However Dallas assistance in both directions was very bad
Billy is a credit to DialAFlight. Nothing is too much bother and he follows everything up. I look forward to my next adventure
Very good service
Once again DialAFlight came to the rescue. My trip to the US last week was beset with cancellations but as a result of their quick intervention I was able to get to LA in time for my appointments with a minimum of disruption.
When Heathrow shut the day before we flew, it was so reassuring that we would have you to sort things out if it impacted our flight.
Great company - would highly recommend. Thankfully my brother-in-law recommended them to me and I continue to spread the word. Fantastic attention to detail. Looking forward to next time.
Phenomenal trip
Great help from Roger to assist in getting folks back home after their flight was cancelled by Delta.
Great journeys both ways. Thanks yet again to Ross and his team.
Love the DialAFlight team - all went swimmingly and an excellent rate on a five star hotel in Times Square
Excellent, very efficient, courteous, effective and professional service. Well done Greg!
Thank you all. Brilliant. Look forward to booking again
It's not so much that 12-year-old girls know what they want to do when they hit California, it's that they know what they don't want to do - and that includes any form of sightseeing.
This meant planning our month-long road trip was a challenge. I love adventure, my husband Paul loves luxury, and our daughters Phoebe and Dora love access to wi-fi.
Our first stop was San Francisco, where we stayed at the Fairmont - lots of luxury to relax in after the flight. Our three days in the city were busy as we checked things off our must-do list: bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and ferry back via Alcatraz; window-shopping in the arty Mission District and queuing with locals for a wonderful lunch at Tartine.
As we eventually left San Francisco in our monster truck, I directed Paul to the infamous bends of Lombard Street. The girls whooped almost as much as he whinged.
Next stop was Napa Valley, where we had booked the Carneros Inn - which turned out to be one of the finds of the trip. Detached cottages are positioned around an organic farm. Cool restaurants, hilltop swimming pools, and outdoor bar areas with night-time fire pits are the only places where you notice that you are not the only guests.
NAPA VALLEY
We dipped in and out of Napa's famous vineyards, before heading 120 miles east to Nevada County and Grass Valley, where in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada you find the richest gold mines in California.
I find California's gold pros-pecting history fascinating, and as we traced the path down Highway 49, I tried to imagine the emotions of those tens of thousands who came to seek their fortune.
My commentary from the passenger seat was sporadically interrupted by Phoebe or Dora demanding that we stop to take photos at stunning vantage points, or capture the signs for improbably named towns such as Rough And Ready.
Our trip to Yosemite National Park was magnificent. Yosemite is definitely at its best when seen in a swimming costume at 7am from the middle of a glacial lake.
Heading west, we spent two days fascinated by the geek chic of the city of Palo Alto, where our girls worshipped at the altars of technology giants such as Apple. But before they got too used to the wi-fi forcefield that surrounded them, it was time to move to the coast.
SANTA BARBARA
We took a leisurely drive south to Carmel, where we had magical sunset picnics on the beach and watched whales off Point Lobos. Then it was on through the beautiful, rugged coastline of Big Sur to the El Capitan campsite near Santa Barbara. Paul was chuffed I had taken an executive decision and booked a luxury cabin.
We had a barbecue on our private terrace before witnessing the most magnificent sunset cloak the sky like a night-time rainbow - a truly special moment.
HOLLY WOOD
From the moment we turned on to Highway 1 the car was filled with cheers from the back every time we passed a sign counting down the distance to Hollywood. Twelve, it seems, is the age where the magic of the movie industry hits hard. My girls lap up everything Tinseltown. They loved the fact we were hanging out in the same town as Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, or that any nailbar could be full of Kardashians, or any juice bar packed with Beckhams.
We pandered to them, searching the internet to see where the stars dined, and then booked a table at the same spots.
The anticipation made for fun dinners, and rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty such as Di Caprio, Clooney and even a Baldwin led us to compile a list of DVDs we must see upon our return.
We stayed in full glamour at the London hotel in West Hollywood, where a sneaky afternoon cocktail by the rooftop pool became my little luxury. And of course we had to photograph the sign in the hills, visit the Chinese Theatre and sit on the Friends sofa on a Warner Bros tour, before heading back to the coast.
Our last five days were based at the ever-so-cool Viceroy in Santa Monica. There was much to do - trapeze school on Santa Monica Pier, a morning bike ride to Venice Beach, an evening trip to a basketball match and a surf lesson in Malibu.
We had been exactly a month in California - and both girls are determined to return as soon as possible to continue exploring.
