Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Thank you so much. Everything excellent as always. Rupert is so helpful and attentive. We've been coming to him for over 20 years and his arrangements have never been anything less than perfect
Excellent service provided by Ewan!
I phoned to tell you that you did not warn me about the hotel's Amenity Fee. They tried to tell me that I should go back to you. I made a scene in reception and eventually they waived this rip off mandatory charge which would have set us back $206 for services we did not want.
We weren't given the room we had booked, but DialAFlight sorted it out for us. Felt secure knowing they were a phone call or email away
Thank you Callum - the hotel was in the perfect location for us to do and see everything we wanted. We will be back again to NY and would absolutely use yourselves again!
Always kept in the loop. Friendly and helpful service by Luke Nielsen
Gavin's advice about the new app for entering the US was invaluable .
Calvin as always organised our holiday to the best he could. We had a brilliant holiday and will use him again..
The hotel room could have been better. Lots of mechanical noise from outside the window and hardly any room to store clothes.
Flexible and efficient. We needed to change travel plans at short notice and DAF made sure that it was one less thing to think about. Very grateful.
Dominic pulled it out of the bag again. Top man
You monitored our trip and gave excellent support during our problematic outbound flight.
Excellent help from James and Jessica. No queries were too much trouble.
Fantastic customer support and communication
Great service. Will definitely use again
Everything went very smoothly. We felt that if there had been any problem we could have contacted DialAFlight and they would have assisted us. Would definitely use again
The hotel was in a great place just one block from Grand Central
Another successful holiday with excellent arrangements and service from Gino and the team.
Worth updating customers that internal flights from JFK at some terminals require arriving full 3 hours before, because of volume of international passengers rammed in the security queue. Only just made it to the gate!
Would like to say a massive thank you to Zoe who sorted out my trip for me, answered all my queries and was a pleasure to deal with
Nothing to improve on
As always spot on.
Thanks to Lloyd and Chloe as usual. Booking flights with them is always easy and they follow up a few days before the flight to check all is OK.
Jarvis as ever delivered. Our go-to guy whenever we use DAF!
Sean Furnival is FANTASTIC
I would definitely use DialAFlight next time. They were so helpful and always available to guide me through any problems.
Dominic never fails to get us all a fantastic price on flights. I can’t recommend him enough.
Matthew always on hand and very professional
Always reliable and dependable.
Great service
Cocktails are a big deal in New York, where scores of the world's best bartenders aim to recreate a classic Sex In The City or Mad Men vibe.
But which bar is best?
Old school cocktails
Walk through the original 'hidden' entrance to The Back Room on the Lower East Side and you're in one of two bars that stayed open throughout America's troubled prohibition era. Here cocktails are served in disguise in china tea cups while beer bottles are covered in paper bags, as they were in the 1920s. backroomnyc.com
If you want polished wood, a clubby, back-in-time vibe, a twist on the classic Manhattan recipe and some award-winning bartenders, try Employees Only. employeesonlynyc.com
Or head to the old home of cocktail king Paddy Ford at steak place Wollensky's Grill or nearby (and more pricey) Smith & Wollenskys. At the latter, you drink in a dining room that's been used as a set for films including American Psycho and The Devil Wears Prada. smithandwollenskynyc.com
Cocktails with a view
One of the new kids on the cocktail block is Manhatta, where lifts take up you up 60 floors for seasonal food, skyline views and a riff on the classic Manhattan called, not surprisingly, the Manhatta. manhattarestaurant.com
Or you can get in a New York frame of mind with city views, sunset jazz and a dessert menu at the bar at the Top of the Standard. standardhotels.com
While it sounds like a tourist trap, even locals admit you can't beat the views from the outdoor terrace of Bar 54 at the Hyatt on Times Square. hyatt.com
Cocktails for friends and family
A lot of New York bars cater for couples, where you choose between a spot at the bar or a table for two. If you're in a group, it's advisable to call first – often that's the only way six or more people will be allowed in. Or try bigger table places such as The Tippler below Chelsea market. Cocktails here include the Call An Uber. thetippler.com
Alternatively, head out to the converted warehouse that's now Porchlight where the owners are on a quest to find 'the next great American cocktail'. porchlightbar.com
Cocktails with experts
Try your hand at cocktail-making as you learn the history of the Manhattan, the Cosmopolitan and other New York favourites at a two-hour Iconic NYC Cocktails class at the cool Liquor Lab in Soho. liquorlaboratory.com
Cocktails with extras
If you think nothing says 'exotic cocktail bar' quite like a full-size crystal palm tree, head to the Gitano Jungle Room for New York mixes with Mexican twists. If you wait until summer, you can drink in the roof garden as well. grupogitano.com
Can't decide between whisky or a cool cocktail? Try local favourite Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog. Get a whiskey in the Irish-flavoured Tap Room bar or head up to The Parlour for serious mixology. deadrabbitnyc.com
Or, in true 'only in New York' spirit, join a 'cocktails with yoga' night on Mondays at CocoMat Soho with Deep Eddy Vodka. It's free, though donations are expected. Book a slot at eventbrite.com.
