Charlie was excellent

We absolutely LOVED our trip - thank you so much to Chris Briggs for suggestions, arranging, advising and assistance! The hotels were wonderful. All of our transportation/trips were exceedingly well organised, on time and very friendly and informative. We especially loved Hotel Arenal Manoa in La Fortuna - would have loved an extra day or two there! Service was second to none and such a beautiful setting. The hot springs are wonderful. Hotel and Spa Poco a Poco - again, wonderful service and lovely place to stay. Hotel pool is beautiful and the hotel is set up / laid out / equipped so well to allow for all the rain showers! Overall, a wonderful trip, we are so pleased to have experienced it!

Have dealt with Guy Foskin for three years. Excellent customer service, providing very good deals and excellent back up when on one occasion something went wrong. This was not a DialAFlight issue. It is great to have someone get to know what you want along with likes and dislikes and bring offers to our attention that may be of interest. Fantastic, keep up the good work.

Laura Canning provided us with a very personal service, cannot recommend her enough

It was exactly what I wanted and Callum Patel did an excellent job

My only and immediate resource for all travel: long haul, quick breaks, package holidays, family & business. Always a pleasure to deal with. Always great value. Used this service many many times for over a decade and top marks every time.

Thank you for being so efficient and making my travel arrangements so effortless and enjoyable.

Emergency helpline was useful

Can't thank Amy Hibbert enough - again! for the excellent service and recommendation

Dale, once again, was brilliant. Everything from booking and throughout the holiday went to plan. We had an amazing time.

Lee delivered once again - great trip.

Every holidaymaker needs to be able to tap into the experience, expertise and professionalism of Gavin Dattani. Not for the first time his advice, guidance and support meant we enjoyed the most wonderful holiday in Mexico. We then enjoyed three lovely days in New York on the way home, staying at the hotel that Gavin recommended; a superb choice.

Freddie was very helpful, thank you.

We had a fantastic trip - with seven different stops this was not a straightforward trip but everything worked perfectly for flights, hotels and transfers. Thanks again to Vinnie and the team, who we have used for many years now.

William was amazing as always

Although our flight wasn't impacted by the global IT issues, it was reassuring to know that we could have contacted you to have everything sorted if we'd run into problems. Using DialAFlight gives us peace of mind having a buffer to deal with the airlines when it isn't easy for us to phone. This is why I don't bother checking flights myself anymore - it'll always be a better option to go through you!

Saved loads of time and hassle and uncertainty, I will definitely use DialAFlight again.

The overall experience was first class and John Huff was excellent.

Lucas Moore managed to get me a premium comfort seat on a KLM flight from Mexico City to Amsterdam for a price which was around what I normally pay for an economy flight. The experience was excellent in terms of the quality of food, inflight service and the amount of seat space. His attention to the needs of customers is of the highest standard. He always searches for the best options, and does his upmost to resolve any difficulties that arise with airlines.

Eric and his colleagues were very knowledgeable, accessible and helpful at every step.

Colourful Bangkok

A taste for Bangkok

Bangkok is more than just a stopover, as Isabelle King discovers on a culinary tour...

Bangkok is known as a stopover – somewhere to spend a few hedonistic hours before going on to the coast. Well, that may have been true 20 years ago. Now it's a place to linger.

Zoom up Silom road - through the commercial district - towards the shopping centres of Siam Square to see how the city has flourished.

The Skytrain monorail moves silently overhead. Designer labels abound. The shiny Siam Paragon shopping centre has a car park just for supercars.

Then there's Asiatique, a bustling night market of 1,500 shops on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

Handicrafts and trinkets sit alongside fashion boutiques and gadgets and nothing closes before midnight. If you are laden with goodies, as I am, a fleet of tuk-tuks is waiting outside.

Racing away, we fly over holes in the road. A dramatic swerve and a loud judder tell me we've arrived back at the swanky Mandarin Oriental. They've seen it all here.

From writer Somerset Maugham, bedridden with malaria, to Mick Jagger insisting the windows in the royal suite be blacked out and Billy Idol wrecking his room completely.

Dining on the riverfront at the Mandarin Oriental

Celebs aside, the hotel has a cooking school and I take a class with chef Narain. A kaleidoscope of ingredients is laid out before us. Those we know: ginger, lime leaves; fish sauce, lemongrass. And those we don't, the tiny butterfly pea – a flower from which a brilliant blue dye can be used to colour desserts.

We watch, ask questions and taste. Then attempt Siamese baked desserts (small, dome-shaped pancakes); braised pork; fiery tom yum soup and a salad of grapefruit-like pomelo.

I slice, chop, juice and pummel. Chef Narain chats away. Chillies, it turns out, are a matchmaking tool. 'Mothers looking for a suitable wife for their sons spy on the neighbour's daughters to assess the speed with which they grind the spice,' he laughs. 'The faster the grinding, the better wife she will make.'

Food is a big deal in Bangkok. Take the Skytrain to Thong Lor and Sukhumvit Soi 38, a line of steamy, noisy, kitchens-on-wheels. There can be no better initiation to Thai street food.

Grab a wobbly table and gobble sticky rice with mango, curries, pad Thai, squid and duck. Delicious.
