The whole experience with DialAFlight was exceptional. Rebecca and Stuart from the beginning were so professional and helpful. Rebecca organised my travel efficiently and I was totally confident that all my travel arrangements were in place. On my return journey the flight was delayed due to bad weather so I missed my connection. As I was sitting in Amsterdam airport waiting to board a re-scheduled flight Stuart called to check that I was OK. Incredible service. I will always be using DialAFlight for future travel.
My flight was cancelled. Luggage left behind. You guys were excellent in listening and helping. Thank you.
Trevor and his team did an excellent job after Air France cancelled 2 of our flights then strikes caused another change
We have used DialAFlight for a few years now never had a problem - thank you so much
I was recommended to you and was really pleased with the aircraft, the cost, the spacious seats and staff. I will be booking again real soon.
Only hotel that did not meet expectations was Si No Como
Billy is so helpful - have recommended to many people. Always happy with our trips
Booked party of 10 to Mexico. Great work by Elliott. Got us a great price, prebooked all the seats and great communication. Highly recommended
My transit in Miami on the way back was a little tight. I ended up sprinting the length of Miami airport whilst last calls were being issued. Pleased to say I made it though. Other than that all flights were exactly as promised although there was a noticeable drop in standard on American Airlines compared to BA.
Fantastic service once again
Darren was excellent
Jane was able to transfer our flights so we could fit in my friend's wedding in Phoenix en route to Mexico. She also booked our seats on all 3 flights which made the whole journey so much better. She is a star!
Great service as always
Philippa was on point as usual, thanks

An amazing holiday and Jake again delivered on every request. Would recommend to everyone
Great flights, great airlines and good value
Used you before, always been hassle free!
Kieran was excellent at arranging our trip
Timely updates from my appointed agent meant that I was kept aware of any changes to the bookings I had made. A courtesy call just prior to travelling was a nice touch. All in all 100% satisfied with the service.
Once again excellent, trouble free travel. There is little point in checking every website - one phone call to Eric and the job is done. Thanks again
Always excellent and thorough service.
As always, excellent service from Dominic and our holiday was superb.
It's very reassuring to know that if something goes wrong with my trip there's someone I can call to help sort it out.
When his daughter stepped on to a plane to Kenya and waved goodbye, the King was too British to tell her he was dying.
The film The Crown takes us back to 1952, when 25-year-old Princess Elizabeth was asked to carry out a Commonwealth tour with Prince Philip for the ailing George VI. She escaped Buckingham Palace for Treetops, a rustic treehouse in the Aberdare forest of Kenya.
Her stay had its dramas, with wild animals sometimes on the rampage below her room and the Princess filmed it, agape at waterbuck goring a rival to death and rhino charging each other.
When Elizabeth was told it was time to come in for tea, she asked to take it on the balcony, saying: 'I don't want to miss one moment of this.' The next morning, she said she'd had such a good time in Kenya that she couldn't wait for her father to visit. In The Crown, she is seen writing a letter to the King requesting that she and Philip live in Cyprus like a normal husband and wife. Then Palace aides track her down to her remote location to tell her that the King has died and that she was now Queen.
Personally I'd have stayed in the tree-house and pulled up the ladder with me.
I set out in the couple's footsteps. Kenya's safari parks still bring British visitors the same blast of friendliness and fresh air, and floating above the green Aberdare, Treetops still looks like a giant bird hide on stilts.
The original shack was commissioned by war hero Eric Walker, who had it built to satisfy his aristocratic wife's desire to have a treehouse like Peter Pan's hideout.
The original treehouse was burned down during the Mau Mau crisis in1954 and the present version has showers and a ramp. But it is very much a tree-house; my gin rested on a giant twig thrusting through the bar's polished wooden floor.
It floats above a watering hole - directly below my room. As the sun dropped, I was unpacking when I saw grey shapes just a few feet below. Dozens of elephants were in a row, drinking. The mums were hiding a baby elephant so small it could probably ride in my car.
As I ran downstairs to get even closer, I passed a huge skull. An elderly regular who died last year, said a guide - it's not impossible he was one of the youngsters putting on a show for the Queen all those years ago.
'When he died the other elephants came to mourn,' the guide said.
'Elephants always do. If they're his relatives, they stand facing away from him, their backs just touching him. For half an hour they stand in silence, then they leave.'
We saw buffalo, warthogs, giant forest hogs and colobus monkeys. The baboons, I suspect, were barred from the animals' pub, so they broke in through the fence.
Amos Ndegwa, 64, is a seasoned Treetops guide, carrying a 100-year-old Winchester rifle that guarded the Queen in 1952. He took us up hills with runways of bare red earth from the top to the bottom. 'The elephants make the tracks,' said Amos. 'They like to sit on their backside and slide down for fun.'
After Treetops, we headed south to Nairobi. At the five-star Sarova Stanley hotel, there's a photo of the Queen and Philip's lunch there with the white-glove set.
The Stanley is named after the man who tracked down explorer Dr Livingstone. Ernest Hemingway sat where I sat in the Stanley's Thorn Tree cafe, writing The Snows Of Kilimanjaro. 'I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy,' he also wrote.
I spent Sunday at Ngong racecourse, where Princess Anne once came to watch the turf fly. Princess Margaret was another Royal to visit this area and she headed for the anything-goes Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa.
I did too and stayed at the Serena Beach hotel, with its fabulous lobby where Moorish chandeliers refract the sun under a sweeping 25ft ceiling. On the beach, blue lizards sunbathed.
We dined in the Jahazi Grill, listening to the night animals. The following day I walked along the beach to watch seabirds and enjoy a drink in the Moonshine bar. I had a daiquiri served in a pineapple. The Dawa (the Swahili word for medicine) featured local honey with vodka.
On my last day I woke to the dawn chorus. It starts in the haze with birds, then other animals join in until it's a wall of sound. I was right back in the animal kingdom.
