DialAFlight is celebrating the release of the 23rd Bond film, Skyfall, by offering deals to some of 007’s favourite and exotic haunts. So just like James Bond, hop on a plane, let the porter take your bags, and tell the barman how you prefer your Martini…
JAMAICA
Author and inventor of all things James Bond, Ian Fleming famously lived in Jamaica while writing his books. Here you can re-enact the scene where Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) strides out of the sea in a white bikini in the exact spot where it was filmed in Ocho Rios. Stay in Miss Taro’s bungalow from Dr No which is now the luxurious Couples Sans Souci hotel.
Follow Bond: You can save 45 per cent if you book by October 31 for an all-inclusive week at the five-star Couples Sans Souci hotel from £1,349pp. Price includes flights from London for travel unti December 5.
THE BAHAMAS
Remember the scene in Casino Royale where Bond seduces his enemy’s girlfriend after watching her ride a horse along the white sand beach? This hotel, complete with stunning beach and all the watersports going on in the background, is the exclusive One&Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas.
Follow Bond: Seven nights room-only for the price of five, if booked by October 31, at the One&Only Ocean Club from £1,959pp, including flights from London with British Airways and a complimentary Casino Royale Martini on arrival for two adults. Valid for travel between May 27 and June 19, 2013.
MIAMI
During the film Goldfinger, our special agent is knocked out by creepy bad guy Oddjob before waking up to find the body of his latest conquest painted from head to toe in gold paint. This iconic scene was filmed in one of Miami’s famously hip landmarks, the Fontainebleu Miami Beach. Hop over for a few nights and soak up the party atmosphere around the pool and bustling bars.
Follow Bond: Book by October 31 and save 10 per cent off five nights at the Fontainebleu Miami Beach from £1,099 per person on a room only basis, including flights from London with Delta. Valid for travel until December 14.
VENICE
Venice has hosted some of the most memorable scenes from the 007 archive, including the speedboat chase in Moonraker where Bond’s gondola turns into a hovercraft, and the sinking hotel at the end of Casino Royale. Dr Goodhead’s hotel room in Moonraker is actually the £8,000 a night Suite del Doge at the exquisite Hotel Danielli. This ex-14th century palace is lavishly appointed with pink marble, stained glass, gold leaves, chandeliers and antiques.
Follow Bond: Enjoy three nights B&B at Hotel Danielli from £469pp if booked by October 31, including BA flights from Heathrow for travel between November 1-27.
