Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Over the many, many years we have used DAF they have NEVER failed to deliver. As a family we would never use any other company for the booking of our flights, car hire and airport lounges.Thank you Ewan
Superb performance once again. Hassle free and professional
Always very helpful
Tristan did a good job
The best service. Always recommend
DialAFlight offers an excellent personal and professional service. They arrange all our holidays and take the time to provide a service that is personalised.
As ever Jenson sorted us out and all perfect.
Excellent staff and all the arrangements were absolutely perfect
Great service as I have come to expect from DialAFlight.
Excellent service, as always. Wouldn’t trust my travel arrangements to anyone else. Feels like dealing with friends.
Thank you for your continued service to me and my family. You always understand what we ask and do a good job.
I have used DialAFlight on many occasions and have always received excellent service. I would recommend them to anyone
Would like to thank Charlotte for providing one amazing memorable trip, we will definitely be booking again next year
Dexter was extremely helpful throughout
Ten out of ten again!
Hadn’t been to USA for 7 years but we have always used DialAFlight for our bookings and now both our daughters do as well. Always excellent service
All good thanks
Damian and his team are always 1st class and reliable, we'll continue to plan trips with them as they are so good
As always, stellar service. Ian Newton and his team are fantastic!
Many thanks for doing the bookings for me. Flights outgoing on time and connection worked well. BA flight coming home delayed due to “technical issue” but nice journey once under way and was a direct flight, anyway.
Always very responsive when queries arise. Very professional and always helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Excellence all round
Excellent service. I would be lost without DialAFlight! Steven will go beyond all to make sure I have a good deal, the flight times are social (for my age!) and I get a seat booked as my preference. If you haven't used them, you're missing out!
Extremely helpful. Easy to talk to and ensure everything goes smoothly. Will be using again.
Stevi was an amazing organiser - she made us feel so special and would answer any questions about our holiday.
Jenson Palmer was so polite and professional throughout and that is why I have been booking holidays with him for years
Cannot thank or praise Wayne enough - he makes everything easy and goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and wonderful family holidays.
Turn around time between US flights was very tight.
We were very pleased to Find DialAFlight after struggling to arrange flights to Florida. Deborah was very helpful and soon had flights and car hire arranged for us much to our relief. Everything went well on the trip with 4 adults and 3 children.
Great service from Gavin and the team. His expertise certainly pays off.
Ross and his team did a great job as always and highly recommend them.
Half the celebrity world, including singer Rita Ora and Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, have been carousing on Miami's famous beach.
Everyone else in the know (and with a few million to spare) is buying up property. Last year, more than 4.9million cruise passengers sailed through its port. What's going on?
Well, the climate helps. The mid- 20s is a typical temperature for a winter day in this part of Florida, while we're shivering in Britain. The changing arts scene is upping the temperature, too.
Art Basel, a cultural showcase that stages art fairs around the world, brings in dealers and innovative artists.
Last year's festival was bigger than ever, with 77,000 visitors. A new art museum, Perez, opened in 2013, featuring contemporary works from the U.S., Caribbean and Latin America.
And there's a lively street art scene, the best of which can be seen in the former warehouse area of Wynwood, north of downtown Miami and roughly bounded by NW 36th Street, NW 20th street, I-95 and NE 1st Avenue.
In just a few short years, this once undistinguished locality has become the arts hub of South Florida. It started with murals, street art, and graffiti, encouraged, unconventionally, by the neighbour-hood's early developers - spawning vibrant spaces teeming with outdoor art.
Today, there are more than 70 galleries and museums, dozens of new restaurants and bars, and hundreds of companies and innovators working in a place that feels alive with creativity.
Here, one wall – with its wild splashes of colour by graffiti artist Rafael Sliks – is not dissimilar to the creations of Jackson Pollock.
There are wonderful new hotels. Faena, at the north end of South Beach, is pure theatre. There are gold columns and cosseting scarlet all over the place, from the toiletries to the bedroom curtains, and extraordinary art.
Have you ever seen a mammoth skeleton embossed with gold leaf? Me neither. But there's one by Damien Hirst called Gone But Not Forgotten, displayed in a climate controlled box on the terrace. You can see it from the beach and it's even illuminated at night.
There is also an exotic mural in the entrance by the Argentine-born artist Juan Gatti, which features flamingos, palms, tropical birds and skulls, transporting you into a fantasy jungle – a theme that's continued throughout.
This is the vision of Argentine developer Alan Faena in collaboration with film director Baz Luhrmann. And it extends to the surrounding area – the Faena Forum, which opened recently, holds art installations, intimate concerts, a theatre and a bazaar-style shopping area.
And that beach. It's on your doorstep. Skip across the boardwalk and you can explore its ten miles of sand and sample the life and soul of Miami.
One morning, I take an Aeroga class, a mixture of yoga and aerobics, that has my heart thumping. On a more leisurely ramble, I see wiry retirees walking with little dogs, cyclists and even someone on roller blades.
More people are out and about in the shadier afternoons. But despite the many hotels that back onto its sands, it is still not especially crowded.
Brightly painted lifesaving posts make colourful markers.
In one spot, something involving police cars is being filmed. In another, an artist is sculpting voluptuous mermaids from the sand while, on the rocks, a model is being photographed in provocative swimwear.
You can walk from Faena to renowned Deco Ocean Drive in around 40 minutes, or hire a Citi Bike from £2.80 for 30 minutes.
Author Jan Morris, in Coast To Coast, called Fifties Collins Avenue, which runs parallel to Ocean Drive, 'a street of nightmarish hotels, each more feverishly grotesque than the last. Pink and saffron and blue, with… a constant stream of visitors, like a flood of some barbarous beverage, forever moving in and out of their doors'. But I like the pina colada paint job on Ocean Drive, though it is similarly busy with just a touch of the tawdry.
Bars line the streets, Bentleys cruise the Tarmac, drunks sway along the pavements and you can have your fortune told by a South Beach psychic.
The north end of Collins Avenue is a classier turn. Here, you can start or end the evening in The Regent Cocktail Club at the Gale Hotel. Or sit outside in the enveloping warmth of a Miami evening at 27 Restaurant And Bar.
They serve a tasty twist on tapas, but the portions are not small. This is America, after all.
Round that off with a Smoke and Sparks cocktail (tequila, jalapeno, lime, flaming salt) in the bar back at Faena and you'll be as convinced as I am that Miami is still living the dream.
