Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
The problems we encountered were not your fault but you supported us where you could. Thank you
Rupert is always brilliant ... good deals and very efficient.
We have used DialAFlight several times and always have the best experience!
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
Fab. As always
Always very helpful
Tristan did a good job
The best service. Always recommend
I only just got to the gate in time. My fault for booking so close together, should have allowed extra time - for drink/shopping before connecting flight
The DialAFlight team were a life saver for our family - from finding us a great deal on flights to the support all the way through. We will not book flights through anyone else!
DialAFlight offers an excellent personal and professional service. They arrange all our holidays and take the time to provide a service that is personalised.
The most comprehensive travel service EVER! Charles was very professional and friendly. He certainly knows his stuff. I’ve been telling friends about DialAFlight.
Breakfast vouchers not issued when checked in. Didn’t realize had breakfast included until last day.
As ever Jenson sorted us out and all perfect.
Brilliant attentive service and on hand as required. An excellent customer experience giving peace of mind. Well done to you all.
Always a professional service
Excellent service from Raphael McLean. Flights and hotel were top quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to New York
Just reassuring to have you in the background in case anything goes wrong!
Excellent staff and all the arrangements were absolutely perfect
Very proficient service, thank you for taking all the hard work out of booking a holiday for me.
Great service as I have come to expect from DialAFlight.
Charlie was great organising our trip to Vegas!
Excellent service, as always. Wouldn’t trust my travel arrangements to anyone else. Feels like dealing with friends.
Thanks for all of your help, will be in touch next time!
My travel manager and his team were excellent. The documentation provided was clear and I have recommended DialAFlight to several friends.
Everything went smoothly, staff were excellent especially sorting out last minute online check in problems. Many thanks
Thank you for your continued service to me and my family. You always understand what we ask and do a good job.
It would be useful if information about where to go to get rental cars for the specific airport could be provided. Signs in LAX were few and there was nobody manning the information desk.
I would personally swerve the Hilton Gardens Jackson as the area is awful and very run down, derelict buildings and boarded up shops and cafes
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.
