Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Very pleased with our trip although BA were not great. On the way out I checked in 10 minutes after it opened and could not get two seats together. Checking in online they would not issue boarding passes and we had to get to the airport early. The food on the way back was terrible. Films on board were OK but the music choice was all cheapie covers - like some sort of massive cheapo compilation - bizarre. Confirmed my dislike of BA
All went exactly to plan no problems at all. Rebecca Wilkie was amazing
Our flights with Air France to Ottawa were fabulous. They were all on time even though there was a global "IT glitch" on Friday 19th July, the day we commenced our return journey. The DialAFlight app is handy, a one stop shop for everything you need. Stuart and Graham always available to answer any questions you might have. Would book with DialAFlight again.
The service from Troy was fantastic - he was so responsive and managed to juggle our three different itineraries without problems. He was always good humoured even when we rang him constantly with silly questions - he deserves a medal for patience.
Christian was superb. I've already recommended him and your company to friends and family. So happy I booked my flights with you.
Great products, great prices, great service. Thank you
Leo was fantastic - made sure I was informed all the way. Will book again
Very quick and efficient
The suggestion by Doug that ‘assistance’ could be arranged was necessary because of AA delays. Thank you.
The service from Air Canada was appalling and you would do well not to recommend them to ANYONE .
Brilliant as always. 1st class info. All helps to make a long haul tolerable. Many thanks to Cody and team.
I would not recommend Air Canada as they cancelled our first flight and on our return put us on standby and split us all up even though we bought our seats together. They were very unhelpful
Hertz desk at Calgary was hopeless as insufficient cars and we had a long wait for cars. Hertz Granville street in Vancouver is in a really rough district so would not recommend drop off in this location
Raj told me that I would need to collect my luggage. This was incorrect.
Professional, courteous, expedient and helpful service.
Your service was recommended and I was very impressed with the service by Oli. Will be using you again. Thank you for all your help.
Everything went smoothly
Gary was very helpful with our Canada trip which included 4 destinations and 3 train journeys. He assisted us from the onset, providing useful information and suggestions on hotels for each stop and also was very helpful with the various flight options available. He was always on hand for any queries we had from the time of booking and up to our departure date. His knowledge and suggestions ensured our trip was thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for everything, perfect!
The return trip home was terrible but none of it was caused or contributed to by DialAFlight. In fact, you were very helpful on the emergency telephone. I recommend Roy, Ashley and Claire to everyone.
Contact, communication and arrangements were excellent
Excellent as always. I would strongly recommend DialAFlight to anyone
Fantastic service
Michael was brilliant - nothing too much trouble - he sorted everything hotels and connections
Not a criticism but please note July 1 is Canada Day so Niagara area is particularly busy. We checked out at 11am but weren’t picked up until 1:45 …pick up could have been earlier even if we spent longer at Toronto airport…which was a great airport in our opinion.
All the staff and especially Shelley go out of their way to organise great holidays. I have booked a few now with DialAFlight and will be booking more
I love DialAFlight and recommend it to all my friends and relatives. It’s so easy just to pick up the phone and within seconds there is a friendly person who listens to the sort of things you want from your holiday and then organises the whole thing perfectly for you.
Biggest plus was getting better connections and price than I was finding online, that and a friendly voice and advice over booking
Everything worked like clockwork. Any questions I had were answered quickly and gave me complete confidence. Thank you to Lewis and team
I'll always ask for the same operator. Top service
I remember the first time I went to Miami Beach. It was to film an American version of Trigger Happy TV and I was not really looking forward to it.
I thought it would be a combination of Miami Vice flashiness coupled with theme parks. How wrong I was.
The moment I got out of my cab in South Beach, I was hooked. The heady mix of wonderful weather, glorious Art Deco buildings and a blend of American optimism and Cuban joie de vivre made the place crackle with excitement.
I stayed at The Tides on Ocean Drive and just down from the glitzy hacienda where Gianni Versace lived and died. South Beach was on a resurgence, having almost nosedived into a no-go zone in the 1980s.
One of the opening scenes in the movie Scarface shows a drug deal go terribly wrong by way of a chainsaw, and the dilapidated street this happens on is Ocean Drive.
Then the fashion and music industries started to use it as a location because it was cheap and looked amazing. Everyone else followed.
I'd sit on the terrace of The Tides and watch the glamour pass by. One morning I was joined, at neighbouring tables, first by Mike Tyson and an entourage of eight, followed by the rapper Ja Rule and his pet lion. SOBE, as South Beach is known, had truly arrived.
I hadn't been back for a while and wanted to introduce my family to it. I hoped they'd love it as much as I did.
I opted for an old favourite hotel called The Albion. I'd stayed there while filming another show and it is ideally placed at the top of Lincoln Road Mall, the pedestrianised street that cuts through South Beach and is packed with stores, restaurants and bars.
The Albion has a fabulous bar, Repour, and a pool that is a refuge from the bustle of the city.
We normally breakfasted at News cafe, an Ocean Drive institution where you get some of the best people-watching in the world. Then we'd head off for the day's activity.
One day we visited the Wynwood Walls, a must-see in Miami. Another formerly dilapidated area, it has been transformed by street artists from around the world invited to use the neighbourhood as their canvas. It is now fast becoming gentrified and is packed with hipster stores and cafes along with the extraordinary art.
Cycling is the best way around South Beach. We rented bikes for a couple of days and zoomed around soaking up the street life and never, ever seemed to have to go uphill.
Having reached the southern tip of Miami Beach and wandered out to the end of the pier to get a fabulous boat's-eye view, we would often lunch at Monty's, a relaxed place on the Miami side of the island that's great for sunsets and cocktails.
Or we'd hop in a cab and head to Coral Gables. This ridiculously wealthy community has a little jewel in its crown - The Venetian Pool. It's an oasis, a public swimming pool made from a former coral quarry in the 1920s - the most beautiful swimming pool I've ever been to.
Then it was back to SOBE, gawping at the fabulous seaside properties on Star Island.
Come the evening, we'd normally wander down Lincoln Road Mall to one of our favourite places - Rosinella, an authentic Italian trattoria where we could sit outside and watch the world go by.
For a treat, we'd head south to Jo's Stone Crabs, a SOBE institution. You can't reserve a table so you put your name on a list and then sit down for a drink to wait your turn.
The food is extraordinary. Huge stone crab claws dipped in mustard sauce, wonderful aged steaks that melt in your mouth.
SOBE is the place to be - take it from me. As my daughter Parker put it, it puts you in a 'Sunshine State Of Mind'.
