Virgin put fear of flying course on iphone
04.11.09
Virgin Atlantic has announced that its highly acclaimed Flying Without Fear course -- with a success rate in excess of 98% -- is now available as an app for the iPhone and iPod touch from the App Store – the first of its kind.
Many people suffer anxiety at the prospect of flying. These fears range from anxiety at booking a trip to complete inability to board an aircraft. Whether it is the unfamiliar aircraft, the strange noises a plane makes, or the fear of losing control, this app is designed to help people overcome their personal fears.
Sir Richard Branson, President of Virgin Atlantic, said: ‘This is Virgin Atlantic innovation at its best. Our first iPhone app will bring the benefits of our successful Flying Without Fear course to millions of people around the world who are now using mobile technology to make their lives better. The app will put many travellers at ease and enable them to prepare for their flight.’
Virgin Atlantic's Flying Without Fear team have developed the app with Mental Workout, a company developing mobile applications focused on improving lives by helping people resolve issues and increase mental performance.
The Flying Without Fear app contains a personal introduction by Sir Richard, a video-based in-flight explanation from start to finish of a flight, frequently-asked questions, relaxation exercises and fear therapy, a fear attack button for emergencies with breathing exercises and quick tips, and a ‘My Program’ section where each user can rate their personal fears and add future flights to prepare them for their next trip. As a bonus, the user is offered 2,000 points when joining Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club.
The Flying Without Fear app is available for $4.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.mentalworkout.com/flying-without-fear/iphone/buy
