Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Excellent service as usual
Really helpful in suggesting accommodation, flights, car rental. Kept informed at every point. Amazing service
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.
We continue to use DialAFlight after many years, always finding them knowledgeable and professional. When complications arose due to our own scheduling Jenson was patient and worked it all out. During the trip, we experienced problems and contacted DialAFlight urgently. He was away but Isaac and Jordan sorted the issue immediately. I would highly recommend
Always very responsive when queries arise. Very professional and always helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Excellence all round
Thanks Trevor. Had to use your out of hours service on this trip, excellent and reassuring help.
Great service from Christian as always
I deal with Roy all the time and when he isn't available the rest of the team are always so helpful.
Flight was good and had no problems with my connecting flights
Bloody brilliant service
Suitcase left in USA by Virgin. Delayed return flight and in flight entertainment not working Other than that… brilliant
Always helpful to know I can call 24/7 if needed. Very friendly helpful staff at DialAFlight
Extremely helpful. Easy to talk to and ensure everything goes smoothly. Will be using again.
Chris Coulter is terrific and always gets top marks no matter how complicated the itinerary
Suggestion to transfer from BA to AA was absolutely correct and much improved. Always value DialAFlight and Luke's advice.
Great choice of hotel, we really liked it. Everything was so well organised, the app was tremendous as it made everything so clear and easy to follow.
Stevi was an amazing organiser - she made us feel so special and would answer any questions about our holiday.
Brilliant support from Manny and the team as usual. Everything went according to plan and we had a great time. Thank you very much.
Jenson Palmer was so polite and professional throughout and that is why I have been booking holidays with him for years
As close to perfect as it gets!
Everything was perfect - the hotel accommodation was in a great location, clean and the staff were extremely helpful. We had a lovely break. Many thanks as always to Michelle and Isaac
Nadia was brilliant, very supportive. Great trip.
Cannot thank or praise Wayne enough - he makes everything easy and goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service and wonderful family holidays.
Thank you Spencer, you smashed it!
Turn around time between US flights was very tight.
Great service. Thank you.
Karl was excellent, took all the stress out of booking. Would highly recommend and use again.
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.
Los Angeles, California - home of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, sprawling beaches, Sunset Boulevard and A-List celebrities.
Our plan was to try out the two very different lifestyles California has to offer; laid back surfing and sparkling city nights.
First destination was Huntington Beach, with a backdrop of surfers, sun and sea. Palm trees line the promenade, tanned and toned beach bums laze on the sand. Surfing is the most popular pastime and the wetsuit brigade catch the waves from as early as 5.30am.
The beach-front Regency Hyatt is the perfect place to stay for families and couples.
We woke early on day one to try ocean-front yoga with Jordan Batha from Toes on the Nose. Towels and mats are provided and she'll take you through a series of moves achievable for even the most inflexible, all to the soundtrack of crashing waves.
It was the perfect way to work up an appetite for breakfast at the Water Table, one of the Hyatt's several restaurants, where the crab hash and zesty lemon and blueberry pancakes are a must.
We changed into swimsuits for a paddle-boarding session with pro surfer Rocky McKinnon. Rocky quickly gets you enthused about the sport, a favourite of Cameron Diaz and supermodel Kendall Jenner.
After a morning of exercise we went to ocean-front restaurant Dukes, named after the 'Father of International Surfing' Duke Paoa Kahanamoku.
The Mai Tais (rum, Curacao and lime juice) are highly recommended and pack a punch. The fiendishly fresh Poke Tacos are great, garnished with the creamiest guacamole. If you've room for dessert, pop over to the nearby Ice Cream Way, where ice cream is frozen in front of you using jets of liquid nitrogen.
By night groups of friends gather around one of the 500 fire-pits. Using them is free but you have to be early to reserve your space. So instead we checked out the Waterfront Resort. They not only provide a cast-iron pit but all the wood you need as well as the ingredients to make s'mores – toasted marshmallows crushed between a Graham cracker with a square of chocolate.
The next morning, Pacific Waters Spa was on the agenda. There you can kick back in the salt water Jacuzzi, use the steam room or book a treatment. Try a Pacific Waters facial - you'll come out glowing.
Two days later, and after a stop at the Red Table for more fish tacos and braised beef short ribs, it was off to West Hollywood and the Mondrian hotel. Minutes from Beverly Hills, it has played host to Leonardo Dicaprio, Rod Stewart and Courtney Love. Its Sky Bar has views over the city.
After a quick shower – you'll find two in your room from which to choose – it was out to experience Hollywood's electric nightlife. We soon found ourselves rubbing shoulders with the stars – or at least sitting close to them.
A trip to E.P & L.P brought sightings of Gerard Butler and Orange Is The New Black star Ruby Rose.
The taster menu at E.P featured delicate abalone and delicious scallop and clam curry.
After dinner we slipped upstairs to the roof terrace, L.P, for more celebrity-spotting and lethal cocktails, with a view over the twinkling city. Later we visited The Red Dragon, an underground club easy to miss as it's accessible only through a car park. Once inside it has the opulence of a Mayfair club but without the crowds.
Lunch next day was at Gracias Madre, a vegan restaurant - where the cauliflower cheese with cashews dispels any notion that vegan food is boring.
Next stop was the Kinara spa, a favourite of Halle Berry, where the service is ultra slick.
In the evening we walked the short distance to The Eveleigh, where sea urchins are the order of the day. They're served with lemon wedges which, when squeezed over them, cause their spikes to move despite the fact they're very much dead.
If you'd rather not watch your food move, I'd suggest the burrata and peaches and fries with truffle aioli.
A short taxi ride took us to Pump, a bar owned by Lisa Vanderpump, star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - there's even a TV series about the staff.
Nearby is the Abbey. This raucous gay bar has played host to the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Joan Collins - two days after our visit Caitlyn Jenner was seen hosting a table of friends. Dancers in barely-there underwear keep guests entertained but for pictures the rule is: 'Tip before you click.'
In need of a pick-me-up next morning, Cecconis provided perfect Bloody Marys. It's part of the Soho House group, with a cool yet understated crowd and a killer brunch. The perfect way to say goodbye to LA.
