A lot of people miss out on traveling since they suffer from a fear of flying but a new iPhone application might be able to help them calm their nerves and get on a plane. I honestly never thought of a phone being used for something like this but I think it’s a great idea.
Virgin Atlantic Airways has launched an app for its Flying Without Fear course proving yet again that Virgin Atlantic president, Richard Branson, is on a 
mission to accomplish just about everything he possibly can in life.
“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,” Branson said. “The app will put many travelers at ease and enable them to prepare for their first Virgin Atlantic flight.”
The app features an introduction by Branson and then offers a number of resources to users including relaxation exercises and an in-flight explanation of a flight. I’d love to see what this looks like even though I’m not really afraid of flying.
The Flying Without Fear course boasts a 98 percent success rate which is pretty flipping impressive. The app was developed in collaboration with Mental Workout, “a company developing software to help people resolve issues and increase mental performance.”
Would you consider using this program and an iPhone application to get over your fear of flying?
