As always a good service by Ross (and Team).
Just had difficulty on trip with logistics due to bad weather, otherwise all great
Kylie and the team are amazing - please pass on our thanks.
Lucy MacNab. Superb! So patient and attentive, lots of suggestions offered great advice! So much so that we’ve booked a further trip and flights for a third holiday!
Thank you Ash for your input, everything went smoothly.
I needed to call the out of hours helpline due to flight issues and Corinne was amazing and sorted a flight rebooking then called back a couple of hours later to check everything had worked out OK. Fellow travellers weren’t as lucky with their travel agents so I told them how great DialAFlight is.
Great service, very helpful, always available. No complaints
We deal with Grant, receive information on time and are kept abreast of any changes.
Brody is amazing !
Charlie Miles is very helpful
Make sure we get calls in advance to confirm rather than us chasing.
It’s so great to access you by phone and deal with a nominated individual. Thank you Alex Gache!
Your service was excellent but the airline very poor
Declan has been brilliant
Excellent customer relationships. Scott has been the most helpful, knowledgeable and responsive consultant throughout the entire process. I would most definitely recommend!
Kennedy has been fantastic - great communication throughout
Very good guidance on hotels. Excellent support before and during trip.
Excellent service even when I was in the USA
I would like to share this experience. When I first booked I said to Joey you are £40 dearer than I can book online. His response was in an emergency who are you going to call? True I said and booked. Six days into my trip I had a call from home, my grandson was in intensive care following a bleed in his brain. I was on the road back to Philadelphia when I called the emergency number. It was answered in seconds and within 10 minutes my flight had been changed. Brilliant reaction. Conclusion might have been a few quid more but probably the best £40 I have spent in years. Thank you all
Great service as always - thank you Conrad and the team
Libby and Co were just amazing
Jake has once again delivered an amazing holiday. Even when we wanted to change our itinerary midway through he organised everything over the phone for us. Wouldn’t book with anyone else!
Professional service throughout - would definitely book with DialAFlight again
24hrs service, quick action taken. I would highly recommend them because they were there when I needed them, during my difficult time with a flight.
I have used DialAFlight a few times before - this trip also went well. Noah was very helpful.
You are always exceptionally helpful.
Sean was very helpful and managed our trip throughout the pandemic resulting in us traveling two years later. We will be back soon for another booking
Roy was great as always and did a great job. I always recommend him
Excellent service as usual. Had a fantastic 25 nights in USA on road trip. Want to thank Jessica and the team for all the help and advice given. My advice is give them a call. You won’t regret it!
We very pleased with the level of service we received from Nicky Degun. We had a stress free holiday yet again
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, the sometimes wild, sometimes smooth music that reflects the city's eclectic mix of French, Spanish and Caribbean culture. After dark, every bar and street corner reverberates to the sounds of horns and Louis Armstrong - a New Orleans native. But what else is on offer if you're not that kind of cool cat?
The answer is, plenty! Start with a tram ride. Trams, or streetcars, are 150-years-old and connect downtown New Orleans with the rest of the city via four lines, and they are a gorgeously nostalgic way to see the sights.
Day passes cost three dollars. Hop on the St Charles Streetcar Line starting at Canal Street and travel west on St Charles Avenue through a tunnel of oak trees, passing lovely antebellum mansions, and end at Audubon Park, the city's second-largest open space. See snapping turtles and exotic birds at the lakes.
The Bywater neighbourhood is filled with colourful murals, organic cafes and hip restaurants.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, artists and creative types unable to meet rent prices in the unscathed French Quarter migrated here.
The long, one-way streets are best explored by bike, which you can hire via the city's Blue Bike scheme.
For dinner, visit the beautifully renovated The Country Club.
Voodoo is a very real - and culturally important - religion in these parts, with its own mythologies, saints and rituals.
Its roots can be traced back to West African tribes who, in the 18th century, were kidnapped, enslaved, and taken to Brazil, Haiti and Louisiana. Many were forced to practise Catholicism and so voodoo is something of a melting pot. New Orleans has become synonymous with voodoo and various tourist shops sell trinkets and dolls. The New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum offers a good introduction.
The Warehouse District, also dubbed the New Orleans Arts District due to its abundance of galleries and studios, is a chilled-out neighbourhood in the heart of downtown.
Yoga fans can take a class at Reyn Studios, in a converted warehouse illuminated by huge windows. After all the goodness, try a cupcake at Bittersweet Confections.
Arnaud's restaurant has been serving classic Louisiana Creole cuisine for more than a century - but there's another good reason to go.
Diners are given access to the Germaine Cazenave Wells Mardi Gras Museum. Mardi Gras or 'fat Tuesday', the day before Ash Wednesday, is the huge carnival that takes over the French Quarter for a week.
Explore the carnival's glamorous history at the mini-museum, named after the daughter of a local landowner said to have reigned as queen of more than 22 Mardi Gras balls from 1937 to 1968. Fabulously lavish costumes are displayed alongside memorabilia.
Stunning gardens open daily in the Museum Of Modern Art and house more than 90 works of modern sculpture - and they're free.
New Orleans is said to be one of the most haunted cities in the world - that's what you'll be told if you join a walking tour in the French Quarter.
Stories of the 'walking dead' may come from the fact that it's impossible to bury bodies in the swampy ground - and during hurricanes, corpses resurfaced and 'flew' through the air.
The solution? Entombing the dead in cemeteries that resemble small marble villages. Lafayette Cemetery No.1, in the Garden District, is one of the most hauntingly beautiful.
About half of New Orleans sits below sea level but began to sink only as a result of 18th century settlers building on the marshy land.
Get a flavour of what they must have faced then by taking a 40-minute drive to Barataria Preserve, a swampland within the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park. If you're lucky (we were), you'll glimpse alligators basking in the sun.
Tucking into a plate of pillowy, square doughnuts called beignets, washed down with a cafe au lait, is a New Orleans tradition.Many places serve them, but the 24-hour Cafe du Monde wins the taste test.
Another New Orleans classic is the po boy. These sandwiches are said to have been invented in makeshift kitchens during a streetcar drivers' strike in the 1920s. When a worker came to get one, the cry would go up in the kitchen: 'Here comes another poor boy!' And the name stuck, eventually becoming 'po boy'.
Branches of Killer Po Boys serve everything from traditional beef and dripping to shrimp and avocado.
