If you have both an iPhone and a fear of flying, Virgin Atlantic has come up with something that could help make air travel easier for you. Virgin Atlantic recently launched an iPhone App that’s based on their Flying Without Fear course, and should help those who experience panic attacks in the middle of a flight.
If their press release is to be believed, Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Without Fear program has a 98% success rate. The App version takes a few elements from the course, offering iPhone users videos, frequently asked questions, and relaxation techniques specially geared towards air travel.
The App also has a failsafe — a “fear attack” button, which users can push during emergency panic attacks. It may actually help to see what happens when you push the button before you actually get on board, since you may be too busy keeping it together during a panic attack to remember pressing the button.
The App only costs $4.99, which is a steal compared to the actual $350 course.
