Another trouble free trip. Thank you Jeff and DialAFlight. I will be back to book with you again soon.
Becky was excellent right from the first phone call. We had a lovely time in Peru and Colombia. The transfers, guides and hotels were excellent. We will recommend to family and friends. We will also be using DialAFlight for all our future travels.
Tap airline cancelled flight which you helped with. Next day delayed flight caused us to miss connecting flight which was very annoying
I had an emergency - your 24hr helpline worked and it was sorted out saving me a flight and a lot of stress.
Thank you Riley for arranging our numerous flights in Brazil, helping us cope with the many changes in flight schedules and finding solutions!
Thanks again Keely for an amazing well planned trip
Many thanks to Curtis
Flight connections of 1hr 20 - 1hr 40 a bit tight after delays to the first leg flights .
All good. Five stars
Really helpful, thanks John and team!
Marshall and his team are exceptionally efficient and always at the ready to assist. Great service!
Shane, was my knight in shinning armour. I had to book a flight really quickly and on a budget and he found me my flights within 30 mins. He also took time to take me through what documents I would need to transit through America. So a big thank you
All went great again this year, many thanks
All flights were well planned and spaced out without much hanging around. The information by DialAFlight was spot on - a trip of a lifetime for my son and I.
Justin just great with our complicated requirements
Fabulous service - Ian Newton goes above and beyond and every other person I have spoken to at DialAFlight has been so helpful
Outstanding customer service from Stuart. Highly recommend
I had a slight issue on the holiday and after contacting Tristan he quickly resolved it. Great service provided and appreciated
I fully recommend
We had a great trip and the tours were excellent.
Would be helpful if BA provided a proper reference for connecting flights to allow for online check-in.
Totally dependable, professional, friendly service and a trusted source of advice.
Very good service and even knew we had a problem with a missed connection, without us contacting them, and offered assistance. The service is excellent and having the peace of mind that you have a real person available to assist is very reassuring.
As always Gavin was amazing. Helpful, attentive and customer focused
Very informative, helpful and knowledgeable about my route and all worked out well … many thanks to Chris Briggs

I‘ve had nothing but good experiences with DialAFlight.

Jamie was exceptionally helpful but was unable to get BA to account for their fault.
The first thing you notice on arrival at the grand, porticoed entrance of the Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui are the monkeys.
They're everywhere: stone monkey statues proffering welcome garlands; cheeky terracotta monkeys giving you the thumbs up from plant pots; laconic stone apes draped over walls; monkey water features filling private pools.
So don't be surprised to find monkeys are a recurring theme in the third series of hit TV show The White Lotus, because the exclusive Four Seasons Resort on the Thai island has become the new fictional White Lotus Hotel.
The entire 45-acre resort was closed to guests this week when cast and crew arrived for an almost two-month shoot.
Although the runaway star of the first two series, Jennifer Coolidge, is not expected to be making an appearance (she died in series two), there are plenty of other household names who will be jetting into Thailand's second-largest island.
The new cast includes British actors Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter) and Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education), plus Natasha Rothwell, who played beauty therapist Belinda in the first series.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnie and Maria Shriver, is set to play a leading role as well as Thai actors Dom Hetrakul and Tayme Thapthimthong.
The inclusion of a gang of some 40 Hollywood actresses including Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age), Leslie Bibb (The Babysitter), Michelle Monaghan (Mission Impossible) and indie film actress Parker Posey could suggest they are a group of wealthy American women seeking some high-end spiritual healing.
But if the last two series are anything to go by, the other big star of the show will be the hotel itself.
Just as the first series of The White Lotus was shot in the Four Seasons Resort Maui, Hawaii, and the second at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace in Taormina, Sicily, the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is about to become one of the most famous hotels in the world. And the most expensive.
Not that it isn't top-end already. With prices starting from £1,000 a night for an entry-level villa for two in low season, it reaches £6,900 a night for a family villa in peak season (housekeeper included).
To 'buy out' (i.e. close) the 60-villa hotel to paying guests for almost two months would cost millions, but the Four Seasons group clearly believes the investment is worth it and has struck a deal with The White Lotus backers, including U.S. production company HBO.
The Four Seasons Taormina saw a growth rate of 220 per cent after series two and it now charges between £1,900 and £6,400 for a single night stay in summer. Add to that audience figures from the last series, which reportedly amassed ten million viewers per episode, and it appears to be a win-win situation.
So what can we expect from the real star of the third series? I can confirm that after spending an evening living like the 000.1 per cent at the resort, it is the most spectacular White Lotus of them all. Hidden on a hillside in acres of jungle, the estate has an air of luxurious tranquillity. Each of the private villas, designed by award-winning architect and artist Bill Bensley and his partner Jirachai Rengthong, has been inspired by Southern Thai thatched cottages.
But with polished teak decks, private plunge pools, signature Four Seasons beds, stone baths big enough for three and Thai silk furnishings, they are a long way from your average village hut.
The stilted villas have been built into the jungle, arranged around 856 existing coconut trees which offer a whole lot of privacy.
Mike White, the series creator, has already hinted that while the theme of the first season was about greed and money and the second was about sex, the third would take a satirical look at death and spirituality.
This all makes a lot of sense as the resort hums with spirituality, from the stone monkeys to the menu at the Secret Garden Spa where guests can book Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy, Reiki Energy Healing and even a cannabis massage using CBD oil finished off with a cannabis-infused tea. (Cannabis was decriminalised in Thailand in 2022, and is clearly crying out to play a leading role in White's twisted plot.)
On arrival we were ferried around in an electric buggy, through towering coconut trees and ferns, down to the star attraction - the private beach. With fine, white sand lapped by the pale blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand, the setting already looks as if it were digitally created in a Hollywood studio.
Guests can while away their day by the beach and the infinity pool, take out kayaks and paddleboards and book private snorkelling and diving trips to the spectacular Ang Thong National Marine Park.
For supper, we were taken to a candle-lit treehouse to dine at the Michelin-listed Koh Thai Kitchen. Guests can also finish their evening in the Rum Vault, which contains more than 150 varieties of the spirit.
The highlight was watching the sun set from the CoCoRum beach bar's deck. With a Thai-fusion negroni in my hand and a saxophonist striking up a jazz solo, I understood why you'd fork out almost twice the average weekly wage to stay here for a single night.
