Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Always a first class service from your excellent organisation and staff
Everything from DialAflight first class, however Air Canada lost our suitcases and still trying to get them back
Michelle and the team were very helpful and we will use DialAFlight again
Very prompt and professional service.
Everything went smoothly from first telephone call with Jane to the actual flight back home. Everything was as promised including assistance at each airport for every flight.
Everything you arranged was top-notch. Your communication was first class and kept us informed. Would have no hesitation in using your company again
Very easy to use, friendly, professional
Reggie was exceptionally good explaining and answering my questions. Very helpful with flight details. Would come back to you should I fly again.
Excellent service
Don’t book clients onto Aerolineas Argentinas. Everything about that airline (aside from the actual flight itself) was awful.
Our flight was cancelled unexpectedly. Airline did not keep us up to date. Contacted DialAFlight emergency out of hours and they were amazing. Sorted it all out for us, which removed all the stress and anxiety in a difficult situation! Thank you, will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Perfect trip. 5 stars
Very good responsive service, all emails were replied to, quickly and clearly. Thanks DialAFlight team!
Rebecca always does an amazing job with every trip I ask her for help with. A true asset to DialAFlight and wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Always helpful and patient. No query is too insignificant. A great company.
Excellent service. George was first class and gave us great confidence all would be good. He arranged assistance for my wife which was slick and invaluable. I recommend DialAFlight to everyone
Jane was brilliant and helpful and always quick to respond. Nothing was too much trouble
Fantastic help, communication and support as always. Many thanks especially to Philippa Wales.
Really appreciated updates.
Thank you for all your help
All great thanks.
As usual Stuart gave an excellent service. Our journey was seamless and worry free. Having the app to refer to was great. Thanks again - and we’ll be in touch soon to organise our next trip.
Excellent, the best travel agent!!
Excellent service - highly recommended
It's been a friendly and straightforward process.
Robbie Kharbhari excellent as always - reliable and sorted flights. Pleasure to talk to and got the job done!
Great service, thank you
I have booked several trips with DialAFlight and always had Ivor as my booking agent. Frankly, I wouldn’t use any other agency and Ivor is simply amazing. He has saved me a fortune in the past and always helps my wife and I to create bespoke travel experiences.
Always excellent service!
Quick service, prompt responses to queries. Would recommend
When Pavarotti first went to Pangkor Laut, he arrived with 26 suitcases – 20 for his clothes and six for his food. He then declared it the most beautiful place he’d ever seen. 'It's enchanting, it's a paradise,’ he gushed. ‘I almost cried to see what beautiful things God had done.’
But I don't know what the Italian opera star was doing with all those clothes.
If he were alive today, he’d need only one case for shorts and T-shirts - and definitely no nibbles. Pangkor Laut Resort, set on its own little island, now has six high-end restaurants, all open to the balmy sea air.
Smart casual is required at the adults-only Fisherman’s Cove. Male diners underdressed are discreetly handed a sarong.
This tropical haven of beaches, rainforest and five-star pampering three miles off the west coast of Malaysia has also been a favourite of Michael Schumacher, Eric Cantona, Tony Blair and British actress Ruth Wilson (from the TV thriller The Affair). Bond girl Michelle Yeoh (Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies) is a regular. And Joan Collins took her fifth and current husband, Percy Gibson, there on honeymoon.
However, you don’t need to be a celebrity to experience Pangkor Laut Resort's many delights.
From the airport at Malaysia's capital of Kuala Lumpur, Pangor Laut Resort can arrange for a car to take you to Marina Island Pangkor - the jetty near Teluk Batik from where boats to the island depart.
Even the transfer is a great sightseeing experience, with palm plantations, which have mostly replaced traditional rubber ones, as well as countless villages and their residents.
The 300-acre island is a short boat ride away - the first glimpse of it is little wooden villas perched on stilts above the ocean. These are individual luxury air-conditioned villas, connected by wooden walkways to the main resort, nestled between the beaches and gentle hills of the island’s north coast.
Below and all around you in your stilt villa is azure ocean; above is sun and sky. Each villa has a deck with sun loungers. Just five minutes of lying back - waves lapping beneath and the calls of tropical birds carried across by sea breezes - will melt your stresses into the sea.
If you're lucky, from your deck you might see eagles, hornbills, sea otters, turtles and other wildlife.
On a wildlife tour with resident expert Aris, expect to see fruit bats, monkeys (long-tailed macaques, which are very cheeky), wild boar, two types of snake - both non-lethal to humans - and very rare pangolins. These look a bit like anteaters and have been hunted to near-extinction by the Chinese and Vietnamese, who deep-fry the skin and eat it as crackers. Pangkor Laut Resort is working to start a pangolin breeding programme - one of its many eco-projects.
During my trek I was lucky enough to see a tiny paradise tree snake, a huge two-metre dragon-like monitor lizard and hollow crickets (known as skeleton cicadas).
Guests can enjoy yoga and tai chi sessions, fishing, snorkelling trips, golf, private cruises, gourmet picnics, kayaking, gym, jogging trails and cooking classes.
Treatments at the spa include one for men, the Bukit Gantang Warrior Treatment. It's far more relaxing than it sounds, and promises vitality, structural alignment and flexibility.
I had the two-and-a-half hour Campur Campur signature treatment, which began at the Bath House, where my feet were washed and the soles tapped with a wooden hammer. Then I was dressed in a sarong and guided through cold and hot pools and a Japanese washing hut before having my first massage, which also involved water, and was very refreshing.
The main massage, which lasted 105 minutes and took place in a dry spa room, was out of this world - the best I've ever had.
My masseuse, Putri, said the technique was unique to Pangkor Laut and that she and her colleagues had undergone special training. I thought I was very relaxed before I went in, but afterwards I was on a never-experienced-before level of chilled-out-ness.
The resort is a glorious feast for the senses – and a chance to be utterly pampered. No wonder Pavarotti sang its praises.
