Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Excellent customer service. Everything went to plan with no problems. I will be back
As usual with DialAFlight everything was excellent
Big thank you to your team who got us home after our first flight of three was cancelled - special thanks to Tristan, Stan and Corrine who went above and beyond.
Connie is brilliant - I recommend her to everyone who travels!
The service we received was excellent, as it's been on each occasion we have used your services. The flights were exactly what we required and the suggestion to make a stop over to get the best price worked out really well. We'll use your services again next time we're making a trip abroad.
Excellent service DialAFlight, thank you very much.
Everything worked out well. No problems at all.
My flight back was cancelled but I was able to ring a 24/7 number where the advisor was very helpful and did her best to get me on the next available flight. Unfortunately, this wasn’t possible as I had already checked in and Qatar Airways wouldn’t let her change it.
Always helpful with quick responses
A truly personal service, you feel like you are being assisted by a friend
Dale was brilliant
I received the usual high quality service from Amy Hibbert that I have been used to over more than 20 years of using DialAFlight
So helpful, efficient but friendly at the same time
DialAFlight says what it does and does what it says. Having used DialAFlight for a number of years, we have had peace of mind knowing that if there is ever a problem they are at the end of a telephone line to help from anywhere in the world.
Many thanks to Raphael in particular, but to the whole team. You helped us out of a very difficult situation and took all the worries away so that we had a stress free and very enjoyable trip. Can't thank you enough.
Exceptional flight with outstanding service and lovely staff. Will book again very soon. And you found us the best deal!
Excellent communication from DialAFlight staff - thanks Harvey.
I've booked with DialAFlight multiple times and have always been very happy dealing with them and getting the best dates and times to suit my requirements. They are always friendly and answer the phone very quickly with no annoying pre recorded messages or push button navigating. They are reliable and you can always phone again to check any concerns.
Deborah was absolutely amazing with her help when I needed flight changes in Dubai due to the flooding. I wouldn’t have got back to the UK so quickly without her.
Becky was my link for the holiday of a lifetime. She did an excellent job of keeping me updated and although we didn’t have to call on her for help it was a big reassurance that someone was there at the end of the phone.
Thank you to Daryll and his team at DialAFlight who allowed me to travel with complete peace of mind!
All the flights were really good. However coming back home from Auckland to Shanghai, I wish I’d been made aware that my suitcase would need to be collected at Shanghai and then rechecked in. It wasn’t a pleasant or particularly easy experience. Anyway it all worked in the end.
You are not to blame for the poor service I received on my business class flights from LHR to AKL via Dubai but I will not be booking Emirates in the future
No issues from your end but Dubai airport and Emirates were very poor as far as communication went during our six and a half hour delay.
Great friendly service. Makes life so much easier using them. They find you exactly want you want in a matter of minutes whereas in the past it's taken me hours
Great service and prompt attention
Great service as usual. Excellent phone pick up, good prices and wonderful advice about which airlines, stopovers and timings.
Zoe always delivers.
Annabelle C is amazing and I'd book again with her!
Lloyd was very helpful at all times
Phuket may not be perfect. But parts of it are approaching that state of bliss. And it's fairly easy to avoid the parts that aren't.
For example, the busy beachside strip of Patong can be rather a test of patience for those of us who might have grown a little weary of sunset-to-sunrise shenanigans.
But that's not the whole story. After all, Phuket is quite a big island, stretching 30 miles north to south and 13 miles across (joined to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge) and it offers plenty of options for holidaymakers looking for almost-guaranteed sunshine.
It has come a long way since the days when it boasted just a few beach front bungalows for barefoot backpackers in the Seventies. Back then, it was a grim 17-hour bus ride to get there from Bangkok.
The construction of one international airport later, and there are more than 750 licensed places to stay, with 47,000 rooms available. And in the next few years another 35 hotels are expected to be built.
Mick Jagger, Beyonce, Kate Moss and Rihanna are among the celebrities who have all checked in at Phuket at one time or another.
On my most recent visit I stayed at the five-star Dream Phuket, a newish hotel on Layan Beach, a lovely, tranquil stretch of sand on the island's west coast. It is only 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport, but definitely away from any hustle and bustle.
It has giant beds in large rooms, partly open-plan bathrooms, an enticing swimming pool, international cuisine, a roof-top bar with infinity pool - from which there is a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding lush hills - and a great spa offering the full range of treatments including deep tissue massages, aloe wraps and spice scrubs.
At the signature restaurant Trilogy, there's a 'theatre' kitchen where you can watch the chefs sauté and flambé to their hearts' content.
The hotel is not directly on the beach, but it has a separate beach club, with sun loungers and private cabanas, just two minutes away by shuttle bus.
It is at the beach club that the young and fabulous from Russia, Singapore, Australia and Britain pose on their stools at the swim-up bar and use their phones to snap, study and share their selfies. All day long.
That is good news for the rest of us, as it means there's no wait for the cheap massages on the beach. They're seriously good; I couldn't resist having two in one day. During one of them, a vast man having a massage next to me snored loudly despite the fierce kneading.
Less than half a mile from our hotel is the Project Artisan, Laguna. A labour of love from a gentle Croatian couple with a deep affection for all things Thai, it's a restaurant and deli, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The hotel also offers foot massages and mani-pedis, while there are plans for a cookery school and art club.
A boat trip is a must. Some prefer to barter for a place on speedboats, which take a well-worn route to celebrity-touched islands such as Phi Phi Le, where Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Beach was shot.
I opted for a trip on a larger boat which motored to the less well-known Phang Nga Bay. If you want to be more active you can kayak, swim off the back of the boat - or watch long-tailed boats take visitors to the islands of Khao Phing Kan and (The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed here) before returning as the sun sets.
The boat crew speak fluent English and Chinese and, at the end of my trip, the captain said: 'If we have done anything wrong, we hope you forgive us.' There's absolutely nothing to forgive.
The next time I return to Phuket (and I will be returning) I hope to explore more of the island and perhaps fit in a safari experience – yes they offer safaris in Thailand! There are some great luxury safari companies which come highly recommended and offer authentic and respectful encounters with native wild elephants and other spectacular wildlife. After all, there’s more to Thailand than stunning beaches and spas- but it’s a good place to start.
