I have used Neil from Away Holidays on numerous occasions and have always received an exceptional level of service. Neil consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is taken care of, and nothing is ever too much trouble. He is extremely professional, helpful and reliable, and always takes the time to understand exactly what you are looking for.
I have complete confidence in Neil and would highly recommend his services to anyone booking a holiday. His attention to detail and commitment to providing excellent customer service really set him apart. I will certainly continue to use Neil for all my future holidays.

Dealt with Brooklyn to book a holiday for my best friends 60th birthday. Brooklyn was very helpful and patient with my many questions. He assisted me in upgrading my flight seats to business class. All correspondence from me was promptly and professionally dealt with. I can't thank him enough.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how truly blessed you are to have someone like Mr Umang working for you.
Umang is a very special person in my eyes and in the eyes of my family. He has been helping us book our holidays with your company for over a decade, and throughout all these years, he has always gone above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect.
He takes the time to understand exactly what we want and always manages to surprise us with how beautifully he tailors each holiday to suit our needs. His attention to detail, patience, respect, attitude and willingness to help are just a few of the qualities that make him so exceptional at what he does.
Umang genuinely goes that extra mile every single time. His dedication and care are second to none, and we feel incredibly lucky to have someone like him looking after our holidays.
Well done, Umang! You are truly amazing at what you do.
Wow, Umang — yet again, you’ve pulled one out of the bag! 🙏
Thank you for everything you do for us and our family. You really are a very special person. ❤️

Neil is our go-to person for booking our holidays. Always speedy, efficient (and patient!) when we're drawing up plans. Away were also very good when refund was needed when you couldn't travel to the Middle East earlier in the year. Also, prices are always super competitive for the Middle East. Would recommend

I have always had an excellent service from Alex at Away Holidays. I have now booked several package holidays with him. He listens to what I am after and tailors the holidays to my needs. I have always gone back to Alex at Away-holidays for the fantastic customer service and support received.

Booked a holiday to Dubai for September 2026
Paid a £300 pound deposit in December 2025
Because of the ongoing war in Iran we felt it wasn’t safe to go I asked away holidays if we could get our deposit back because the circumstances are different but they said the rules are the rules and if you cancel the deposit is gone
We both feel this is so wrong and unfair Iran is 90 miles from Dubai and safety is paramount the war is not stopping any time soon by the look of it very very dissapointed with away holidays that’s for sure especially jackbooted with them for so many years

Paid nearly 5k for a holiday and they didn’t send a booking confirmation or payment confirmation or confirmation of flights. When I complained they refused to log it and refused to refund me as well! They claimed
