Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
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.
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.
The security services at Heathrow do not know the regulations for travelling with ammunition. They interpret them differently each time I go. Costs me £1000 extra each time!
Awesome service as always. Cody has yet again put together a perfect holiday package for us. Would not hesitate to recommend
Excellent tips for avoiding queue at immigration and car hire collection in US
Excellent professional all round service.
You found the flights we wanted at a price no one else could get near to. You got us hold bags included in the price which was a wonderful luxury that I have been denying myself for years. I got just the right number of helpful reminder emails and calls.
Excellent customer service. Kept informed all the way and everything went as planned. Will definitely recommend and book with you again.
Everything worked exactly as planned and excellent app. Many thanks
Very good service, only issues were with Avis car rental and Virgin changed my flight seats that I had pre-paid for, so my family wasn’t sat together
Never going with anyone else!
Would suggest you do not use Thrifty car hire. They took ages to do the paperwork then took $480 deposit instead of $200 and we have to wait 5 days to be re-imbursed.
The Bryant Park Hotel was absolutely exceptional - please do bear it in mind when booking New York hotels for other clients!
Roger is superb. I trust in his help immensely. That is such a relief.
Aer Lingus excellent - flights and service all very smooth - connections on time
You're the best - and we wouldn't go anywhere else. So much humanity, care, personal attention and kind communication
The Spanish moss hangs over Savannah like a veil, revealing the ghosts and charms of this sultry city in glimpses. Take your time here, it seems to say, too much in one go and you will overdose. But the plant that drips from live oaks in the shaded squares is not what it seems. It belongs to the pineapple family, not a moss at all, and that sums up the city itself.
Savannah overflows with mystery. Anything seems possible here.
Georgia's oldest city is a sumptuous film set with a jumble of architecture and eras, wrought iron and verandahs.
A devotee of Gone With The Wind, I have long been captivated by the Deep South's allure. In one of Savannah's many historic homes open to the public, it would have seemed normal to surprise upon a southern belle such as Scarlett O'Hara lacing her stays in a bedroom or Rhett Butler storming down a sweeping staircase.
The Mercer Williams House in Monterey Square is the setting for another book, John Berendt's Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, about a notorious real-life murder trial in the Eighties.
Today, visitors can stroll around art dealer Jim Williams's stellar collection of antiques ending in the room where Jim's male lover was shot dead.
Berendt's book featured drag queen Lady Chablis and voodoo priestess Minerva and, as you wander the streets and quaint alleys of Savannah, such characters would not seem out of place.
The city trades on its eccentricities and boasts spooky ghost and gravestone tours. Take a horse-drawn carriage along the cobbles to Chippewa Square where Forrest Gump sat on his bench.
Get your bearings on a trolley trip on which you will be joined by historical characters such as General James Edward Oglethorpe, who laid out the city's lovely squares.
Hospitality is big here and most hotels and B&Bs host free evening drinks and nibbles. At the Planters Inn on Reynolds Square, guests gathered over what my husband called 'pretty decent vintages' to swap stories of must-see houses and must-eat restaurants, including The Olde Pink House next door, which offers gourmet southern fare.
Just two hours up the coastal tidal flats, and a world away in style, is Charleston. If Savannah is a blousy belle with petticoats awhirl, Charleston is a sophisticated socialite: cobbled streets, magnificent antebellum mansions and flickering lanterns, set against manicured blooms.
Stroll along the Battery where the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet. Watch sweet-grass baskets being woven in the market.
Visit the pastel houses of Rainbow Row, one of South Carolina's most famous sites.
Tuck into oysters and shrimp accompanied by grits, the region's speciality of boiled ground maize, for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Folks here are friendly; a mum and daughter in town to check out the university urged us to visit them 'down the road' in Nashville, a mere 500 miles away.
Charleston shamelessly exploits its Gone With The Wind connection.
Rhett Butler hailed from here and the town won't let you forget it.
'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn' features on tea towels and magnets, but while gaudy memorabilia sits at odds with this stately city, they don't mar it. We sailed to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the American Civil War were fired, plunging Scarlett O'Hara's life into chaos and forming the backdrop to Margaret Mitchell's novel.
Outside Charleston is Boone Hall, one of America's oldest cotton plantations.
The tyrannies of slavery unfold in a harrowing exhibition, vividly set in the original workers' cabins.
Afterwards, numb, visit the colonial revival house or wander the avenue of ancient live oaks, garlanded with the ubiquitous moss, one of many sites claiming inspiration for Scarlett's beloved plantation, Tara.
Perhaps because each jealously guards its appeals, Savannah and Charleston are competitive.
Scarlett linked them as 'aged grand-mothers fanning themselves placidly in the sun', but today there's more to separate them than a state line and 100 miles.
Locals asked which we preferred as if our answer didn't matter, but were anguished if we hesitated. So, which to choose of these two grandes dames of the south? I couldn't possibly say. Go, and decide for yourself.
