Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
We have used DialAFlight before and will use them again.
Amazing service. Thanks so much Jamie. Will definitely use you again
Easy from start to finish.
Fantastic company, we have booked with DialAFlight many times and have never had any problems. Always a great experience. Thank you till next time.
Very professional. Jed is very understanding and always try to get best deal that suits my needs
You did everything right but I should point out that Singapore Airlines Premium Economy was disappointing. I don't think it was worth the extra money.
Very well arranged, many thanks
Finley was fantastic. Chosen hotels spot on in excellent locations and all advice was brilliant. Thank you so much.
Highly recommend. Such amazing customer service!
And another brilliant holiday, organised by Raphael! Thank you so much
Our first time catching connecting flights and I can’t tell you how stress free it was. Sean literally talked me through it step by step. I get a lot of airport anxiety and it can ruin my holidays but not this time. Thank you so much.
Always very pleased with the trips Niall Andrews and DialAFlight arrange and suggest
Ethan was excellent and provided great insight and support. Though we had requested vegetarian food when we booked the flight, little was available that we were able to eat
Good customer care
We had to pay for breakfast at Nagano although the itinerary and voucher had it included
We had a great holiday. Thank you so much Warren and DialAFlight. We are planning our next trip and will be in touch soon.
Stevi was excellent and very personable
Superb service
Ian is great
More transparent information needed for baggage allowance when multiple flights are included with different carriers
Many thanks to Tony for everything in organising my trip. As ever well done DialAFlight
Dennis rang me on a Sunday to answer an email I’d sent him. That’s incredible customer service!
Emily was amazing, very patient and understood exactly what we were looking for. She totally removed all the stress and hours I usually spend planning and booking a holiday
Really happy with the help we had from Jake and the organisation of our trip, we will definitely be coming back
Ivor is a great communicator. Seamless to book flights and comforting to know there is someone to speak to if needed. We will certainly be using DialAFlight for our future adventures!
Thanks Keely, everything went well
Helen has been looking after my flights and arrangements for over 2 years. I wouldn’t book with another company as they make the process so easy
Already recommended you to many friends over a number of years
Great service provided by Chris yet again. Had to make some last minute changes to flights which were dealt with smoothly and efficiently
Thank you. Five star service
Singapore's star is shining ever more brightly as a top tourist destination - it has a fantastic bar and foodie scene and a host of new design hotels. And of course it has a reputation for being a super-safe and super-clean city.
The island city-state off southern Malaysia is a melting pot of trade, tourism and cultures - it's a global financial centre with a tropical climate and multi-cultural population.
Its colonial core centres on the Padang, a cricket field since the 1830s and now flanked by grand buildings such as City Hall, with its 18 Corinthian columns. And in Chinatown, dating from about 1820, stands the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, said to house one of Buddha's teeth.
Singapore is ideal either as a final destination or as a stopover en route to Australia or New Zealand. Here's how to get the best and most fun out of it in two days.
First evening
A selection of flights from Heathrow land round about 6pm local time.
A 30-minute or so drive from Changi airport will get you to your hotel - and shortly afterwards to the bar, with perhaps a Madame Butterfly cocktail in your hand (tequila, watermelon, rosé wine and soda water).
Singapore's famous Raffles is reopening this summer after a major refurbishment, so a revitalising Singapore Sling will be available there - or otherwise that particular cocktail can also be thoroughly enjoyed at the Loof bar in the Civic District.
Day One, morning
Download the Grab app - Singapore's version of Uber - then head to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where you can pop up to the rooftop Lavo restaurant for brunch with a view. The ricotta pancakes with lemon and blueberries are divine. If you want something a little different, how about chicken and waffles?
Next door to the hotel is the lotus flower-shaped ArtScience Museum, which hosts exhibitions from design to technology. A short walk away, the Gardens By The Bay cover 250 acres and feature 220,000 plants.
The 18 futuristic, steel-clad 'trees' are actually giant exhausts for the turbines that cool the bio-dome greenhouses.
Afternoon
Head to one of Singapore's giant malls and you'll never be short of shopping and dining opportunities, but it's even better for a reviving blast of cool air in a city that often has high humidity levels.
At Ion on Orchard Road, there are plenty of designer stores to browse, although there are budget options too. As a tourist, you can claim back the seven per cent Goods & Services Tax.
When you're ready for a snack, go to the basement food court for toast with kaya, a caramel-like spread of sugar, coconut milk and eggs.
Evening
In Chinatown, chef Ivan Brehm, formerly of Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck, conjures up superb flavours at Nouri. A five-course tasting menu with wine pairings costs £155 per person. Dishes include Afro-Brazilian fritters with turmeric, coconut sauce, bread and salted prawn vatapa, and nasturtium marshmallow with candied orange.
A short walk away is Native, where Vijay Mudaliar crafts cocktails from weird and wonderful ingredients including pureed grasshoppers.
Day Two, morning
Escape the hustle and bustle and see a different side of Singapore by taking the North-South line of the metro to Kranji and the Kranji War Cemetery, where 4,000 Commonwealth soldiers killed in two world wars lie buried.
Before you head back, join the locals in the Kopitam cafe at Kranji station, where a bowl of laksa - spicy noodle soup - costs less than £2.50.
Afternoooon
Back in central Singapore, see places featured in the recent hit movie Crazy Rich Asians from the sidecar of a souped-up, chauffeur-driven Vespa. The two-hour tour includes a stop for food.
Evening
Hawker centres are an institution here - no-frills food courts where the prices are great and food is top-notch.
In Queenstown, Timbre+ provides a modern take on one, with outlets housed in shipping containers. Grab a bucket of ice for your beers, then choose a starter at one spot, a main somewhere else and dessert at a third.
Before you head to Changi Airport for your flight back to the UK, kick back at Timbre+'s rooftop pool - it's open until midnight.
