Virgin Atlantic is joining the “iPhone game” with the iVersion of their popular “Flying Without Fear” course. The goal is to get some press love (you got our attention), while providing a good service for the community. The application features a video introduction from the man himself, Sir Richard Branson, a video-based in-flight explanation from start to finish of a flight, FAQ, relaxation exercises and fear therapy, a fear attack button, and quick tips. In addition, there’s the “My Program” section where you can rate your personal fears and add future flights to prepare them for their next trip. Finally, as a bonus, you get 2,000 points when joining Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club. And before I let you go, the airline wants you to know that they’ve recently helped Whoopi Goldberg overcome her 13-year-long fear of flying, and “they can do the same for you.” Now the questions are: 1) Do Read More

Fear of flying is nothing to laugh about. Having a panic attack while on an airplane, or not being able to even board a commercial flight because of fear, are both more common than most people would imagine. One solution is to learn how to relax, and to become knowledgeable about the sights, sounds, and feelings of flying. Virgin Atlantic has had an amazing 98% success rate in curing fear of flying though its Flying Without Fear classes. These are seminars held throughout the UK that provide flight knowledge through a Q&A session with Virgin Atlantic flight crews, followed by a psychology session to make attendees aware of what makes them afraid and provide techniques to combat the fear. At the end of the day, attendees are taken on a short flight to try out their new knowledge and prove to themselves that they can fly without becoming paralyzed with panic. Read More

...you, or someone you know, have a fear of flying? Virgin Atlantic has developed an iPhone App that may help -- http://bit.ly/3FsfG9... Read More

by I know the feeling all too well: the airplane starts to lift off, and you suddenly get overwhelmed with the feeling that something isn’t right. Is it going too fast? Should it make this much noise? And then, as it rises off the ground, you get that uneasy feeling in your stomach and you’d most definitely rather be somewhere else. And I’m not even scared of flying; I can only imagine what it’s like to someone who has a genuine phobia. But Virgin Atlantic Airways aims to alleviate the issue – with an iPhone app! The app is based on Virgin Atlantic Airways’ Flying Without Fear course, which supposedly has a 98% success rate. The idea is not bad: anything that can make your mind busy during those awkward moments of liftoff would probably be helpful, and an iPhone app seems like a perfect way to do just that.
