Very helpful
Always helpful, always prompt with responses. Have recommended to friends already.
As usual your team is so helpful and in this case also very sympathetic to the reasons I was travelling on this occasion
As always DialAFlight did an excellent job to find us a flight home when the airline didn’t bother to answer our email. We went all round the world and not one flight was delayed - if there was a time change we got an email to notify us.
Due to current situation we had to curtail our holiday and come home early. Lincoln was helpful and sorted everything for us in a very calm and efficient way. We have and will continue to recommend DialAFlight to friends.
Thanks William and Neil I would never have got back from USA without your help - an excellent service as usual
Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting us back home from the USA. You guys are amazing.
Ben and Jeremy as always pulled the stops out for my trip. It is just unfortunate that British Airways ruined the return flight
Very good . Would recommend
First rate
As usual, competent, professional and reliable. Highly recommend. They are my go to time and time again.
No problems, as per usual. Thanks Lee and the team
Harvey was with us every step of the way to ensure everything went smoothly.
Everything was perfectly organised and all went well every step of the way. Credit goes to Michelle and her team
I wouldn't travel using anyone else. I completely rely on Owen to provide me with flights that suit my needs. He is patient, not pushy and takes care of you in a professional friendly manner
Great service and I will always use DialAFlight as my first source.
Eric is always very helpful.
Fantastic support from Nicky and her team.
Great service by Declan. Would highly recommend
Flights well arranged, good communication and queries answered promptly. Thanks to Donovan and Clark.
Much, much better than my trip in November where I didn’t get any of the special meals that I ordered as I’m dairy intolerant.
I always use DialAFlight - everyone is so helpful.
Just a great service ...
Debbie is really helpful and I always come to her first for my trips - my next one booked for March!
Always great - thank you Saf
Another excellent trip organised by Adam. Exceptional service as always
Would use DAF again - great service and value
Great as always
Once again, James delivered. I had only given him a skeleton idea but his knowledge of Air NZ Premium Economy was accurate and appreciated. Marriott hotel at LAX was comfortable and convenient for the one-night stay before collecting car. Alamo pick up and drop-off at LAX was the best we've experienced worldwide - staff were professional with absolutely no attempt to sell add-ons
Great trip - all organised with no hassle and went smoothly - thank you DialAFlight
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.
