The fear of flying might be a thing of the past! If you own an iPhone, and are willing to spend £2.99 for Virgin Atlantic’s application (app) version of their Flying Without Fear course, your plane related anxiety might vex you no longer.

Based on the course that boasts a 98% success rate, the app is designed to help all sorts of nervousness associated with being 30,000 feet up. It has an introduction by Sir Richard Branson along with other features including a explanation of flight, relaxation exercises and the all important panic button. Branson is quoted in The Mail on the launch,

“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.”

With an estimated one in three adults experience some level of apprehension toward flying, it could be a huge success. Do you use apps while travelling? If so, which do you find invaluable?
