More Like Dial With Caution

Advantages: Cheap flights
Disadvantages: Operators enticing you to buy more expensive flights!

...When it comes to booking a flight I tend to be one of those people who'll hunt for days or even weeks till I finally prove to myself I'm not going to get it any cheaper. I'll go throw site after site inputting all the boring information, changing the days if I can be flexible and then finally booking a ticket. Last October on a whim I decided to make a certain person aged then eight dreams come true and take her to Florida. A shoe string budget was set, after searching sites like Expedia, Opodo, Lastminute.com, Ebookers and probably a hundred or so more I stumbled across Dial A Flight. Dial A Flights web site is basic to say the least, but then again if it comes up with the goods does it matter? It's easy to navigate around the site finding the information you want and their all important telephone number is literally on every...

Dial a Flight

Advantages: heklpful polite and friendly service
Disadvantages: the flight prices advertised are not always available upon phoning

...I have used dial a flight on a number of occasions now, and have always been impressed with their service. I found them on a web site, but as the title suggests you cannot book the flights over the internet. The web site gives you a quote for your flight and the telephone number. Quite often though when you get through to them and quote the price there is a drawback to the price. When I was generally looking around for a flight to Alicante for my son about 6 weeks ago, I found this what seemed a really good deal, £49 return!!! I rang Dial a flight and found that he would have had to travel first to Barcelona and then onto Alicante. A bit of a marathon for a short flight really, even though the price was brilliant. It does not mention these things on the web site. However I am actually writing an op on the telephone service so...

Review of Dial A Flight

  Dial - A - Flight? More like Dial - Are - Shite.

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...*Introduction* Today I regail you with a tale of woe; of incorrect plane tickets, lost luggage and incomplete hotel bookings. Of long international phone calls, unnecessary tramau and repetitive mistakes. Today I invite you to share my world of terror with Dial - A - Flight. *The first time* Having used this company for a few years now (for reasons I wish to cover below), I still remain unsatisfied, and disheartened with the service they provide. I first used them after receiving one of those packs through the post. You know, those glossy type things which boast beautiful pictures of places all around the world, with a less than glossy price tag attatched to it? Well I thought I'd give them a chance, and as I flicked through the pages, I discovered an inexpensive flight to america, which I wanted to go to see my...

Dial a bollocks

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...Mail and there will be no cost what so ever. Basically the bottom line of what I was hearing was that there was nothing to lose and everything to gain! I was then asked if Friday would be suitable for my phone to be delivered to me, if it was to be delivered between 9am and 5pm, it was, so all we do is wait. Delivery day --------------- Friday comes, along with a letter in the post from Dial-a-phone, saying that the delivery will be here on today?s date between 9am and 5:30pm (different to what I was told on the phone by 30 mins) and if the date and time was unsuitable then to arrange another, hahahaha, what a joke how are you supposed to rearrange when the letter comes on the same day as your parcel is due, 10/10 for stupidity. I wait in all day and just when I am about to give up and go to the shop and feed my starving...

Review of Dial a phone

Dial a Bargain more like.

Advantages: 5 star service, efficient in the delivery of tickets, Some really good deals (cheap flight, and holiday deals- hence their name), Website is fast, clear, and precise with a huge array of different travel ideas (with a very useful search facility)
Disadvantages: Cannot book online, and therefore have to call their "local rate" telephone number (their staff however are very helpful anyway, so not really a big problem), Can become a lengthy phone call if no availablity (however staff will usually do their best)

...* Initial Note* I have been using Dial a flight for a while now, and I have to say that their service is absoloutley impeccable. The staff at the call centre, which currently is located in the swindon area, are absoloutley fantastic. They will do their utmost to help you along the booking process, and if the call begins to become lengthy, they will call you back within the time that they state. I will give you an example of some of the brilliant flight deals which I have managed to get off dial-a-flight, starting with the best offers. 1. When I travelled to Dubai, in the summer of 2003, I purhcased a ticket for £289!! RETURN! Bearing in mind that the standard air ticket costs about £400. I travelled with Lufthansa, and encountered no problems. (Had to connect in frankfurt however, but only had an hour wait, which in a way is...

* The Bunny House *

Advantages: Funny , Plot
Disadvantages: May Send Out Wrong Message To Young Girls!

...Recently I have been swapping DVDs with my friend ; I've been borrowing her 'up-to-date' movies and she's been watching my 'rom-coms'. One of the DVDs which I borrowed from my friend was a film called ' The House Bunny'. The House Bunny is an American romantic comedy film released in the United Kingdom on 10th October 2008.

Dial-A-Flight and Korean Air

Advantages: As in review
Disadvantages: As in review

...A great trip - thanks to Dial-A-Flight and Korean Air (and a few tips) We just returned from visiting friends and family in New-Zealand. We had a great time travelling around and catching up with everyone but what topped the holiday off was the fact that our travelling to Auckland and back was so hassle-free! This is all thanks to Oscar - our booking agent at Dial-A-Flight. We booked 7 months ahead and as I am sure everybody does, searched the internet in depth to find the best available price for our selected dates. It appeared that Dial-A-Flight advertised the best prices and although hesitant about using agents we thought to give them a call. Oscar was very personal, helpful and put up with all my questions. They didn't have the offer available as advertised online as this is only an indication, but he quoted me the next...

house rules

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: have to wait for next seriwes

...House is a fantastic series and I missed the first one but got in to watching this in the second series, so I rushed out to buy the first series box set and I could not stop watching it, it is so addictive. If you love medical dramas then this is one for you as it's not all your normal diagnosis, each episode goes through a new medical dilemma they have to try and solve and they are not your usual colds and virus's. House is a medical programme with a diagnosis to be made, so each episode has you playing doctor trying to figure what has caused the patient's medical condition. House is an American drama and is about Dr Gregory House played by Hugh Laurie he is a fantastic doctor, unfortunately he does not seem to have the patience for patients, and Dr House is a Doctor who says what he wants and does what he wants regardless of other...

A Wooden Album by Crowded House?

Advantages: 'Woodface' includes some of the most sublime love songs ever written
Disadvantages: It's all a bit much and much the same; the tracks that do dare to be different, don't fit

...Although I will always consider Crowded House to be one of my ?Dad?s bands? I have to say that I?ve developed strong feelings for many of the groups songs over the years. Teenagers are funny like that; we?ll go off on our own tour of music, claiming that Eminem and Dr. Dre are ?da bomb? before realising it was The Beatles and folky bands like Fleetwood Mac and Crowded House that vied for our earphones all along. On a couple of occasions, my Dad has bundled my Brother and I ? along with my Mum ? into the car and driven about two hours away to Nottingham in a vague attempt to educate us in terms of music. By doing so, he was making us watch the Finn Brothers, a song writing duo that have had a fairly rocky past. Neil Finn ? the lead singer and metaphorical leader of Crowded House ? and Tim Finn were once in a band called Split Enz who...

Oakleigh Guest House

Advantages: A warming, pleasant atmosphere with spotless rooms and good service
Disadvantages: Decor not particularly modern

...I currently live in Stourport on Severn in the heart of Worcestershire and recently had some distant relatives come to visit for the weekend and we needed somewhere for them to stay as our house just wasn?t big enough to accommodate the whole family. In the end we decided to book a couple of rooms at the Oakleigh Guest House as I had heard good reviews on the place from friends. ~Location~ Oakleigh Guest House is situated right in the heart of Stourport on Severn town centre so is in a perfect location to access all the local amenities. However it is situated far enough away from the main High Street so that you don?t get the noise from the pubs on a Friday and Saturday Night. The guest house is situated on York Street in Stourport on Severn and is situated right next to the canal lock and overlooks the basin and river which...
