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
Having been to Dubai before parenthood, we wanted to try it as a holiday choice with our one-year-old daughter Ella Rose. During our last visit, we enjoyed fine-dining restaurants, visited the malls, and drove a buggy over the sand dunes. On this occasion, our requirements had altered! We needed a hotel that had plenty to keep us occupied.
They don't do anything by halves in Dubai, and that is certainly true when it comes to hotels. You get great service, incredible food and drink, and the perfect atmosphere.
We stayed on The Palm peninsula for the first half of our break. Man-made at an estimated cost of $12billion, it has 30 beachfront hotels. It means you can get away from the bustle of the centre of Dubai but still be close to all the action. We chose the Anantara, which has striking sea views. It's not just the main beach you can enjoy either - there are several other smaller man-made ones dotted around the resort which were ideal for Ella Rose.
This resort ticked all the boxes - it was spotlessly clean, and there were plenty of loungers and towels to make sure guests had every opportunity to relax.
However, we soon discovered that being on holiday with a one-year-old means that you do not get the chance to sit down too often - no matter how many luxurious loungers there may be scattered around.
For those parents who want a bit of 'me' time, there's a kids' club for youngsters aged over four.
We liked the hotel's children's menu as it wasn't just everything with chips, but had dishes such as spaghetti bolognaise (which turned out to be a bit messy for small fingers but the waiting staff took it all in their stride), and healthier options including poached chicken with vegetables and mashed potato, which certainly went down well with Ella Rose.
The Beach House is a great place to sit at lunchtime and watch the world go by, and a definite dinner highlight was the Mekong restaurant, which offers a combination of Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes.
For the second part of our holiday, we moved to the Per Aquum Desert Palm. We weren't sure what to expect, venturing inland, but I love horse-riding, so the idea of going to a hotel where they play polo matches was very appealing. There is a wonderful sense of calm as you are surrounded by the green fields of the 160-acre estate. It is a truly beautiful setting, with cascading flowers in abundance, and olive trees hundreds of years old imported from Italy.
We stayed in a spacious suite overlooking the polo fields. You might feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but you still get a great view of the Dubai skyline in the distance.
The country club vibe is helped by a varied events programme. We went to a 'Tipples and Cheese' evening, and the Vintage Friday Brunch at the Desert Palm must be among the best in Dubai. Starting with champagne and oysters at 12.30pm, the brunch goes on until 4pm, giving everyone the chance to make the most of all the sumptuous food and wine on offer.
Eating at the fine-dining Rare restaurant was a memorable experience as the food was exquisite. The restaurant specialises in steaks, but you'll find it difficult to choose between other dishes such as slowroasted duck breast with confit duck leg, or miso black cod.
The neighbouring Epicure restaurant dispenses with the usual buffet offering for breakfast and just does a la carte. You have to be strict with yourself not to be tempted by the amazing selection of fresh cakes and pastries.
To help you work off some of the excesses, there is a gym, the option of going horse-riding, or swimming a few lengths in the infinity pool. Meanwhile, the Lime Spa has an extensive menu of treatments. I had a blissfully relaxing Lime intuitive massage tailor-made to suit my needs.
And you don't need to worry about missing any of the action if there's a polo match on - the thermal beds overlook the field, giving you the perfect view while relaxing.
We took a tour of the estate for a closer look at the horses, and it meant Ella Rose could try sitting on one for the very first time.
It was quite something watching all the action from our balcony, hearing the thunder of hooves and the thwack of the polo mallet as it hit the ball, while we sat and enjoyed the sunshine. We fell in love with this real gem of a hotel.
Dubai showed you can still have a family holiday while preserving that 'grown-up' feeling. We came back refreshed and relaxed after some special family time together.
