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 you have an iPhone/iPod Touch? 2) Are you willing to pour out 5 bucks to overcome your fear? AppStore link is here.
