HEATHROW is to be the venue for the very first time of a Virgin Atlantic 'Flying Without Fear' course now in their eighth year at Birmingham, Gatwick and Manchester airports. Set for Sunday 28 August, and costing ”234 28 tax paid, the one-day course includes a 45-minute flight at the end of the session for passengers to put their new-found confidence to the test. The day starts with a brief introduction, after which two Virgin Atlantic Captains run through aircraft functions, noises and safety. After a hot lunch, participants can ask questions on a one-to-one basis and psychotherapist David Landau teaches skills to help people learn to control their fears. During the 'test' flight, pilots give a running commentary re-enforcing all that has been learnt throughout the day. And to give an added bonus Virgin Atlantic is offering all successful participants membership of its frequent flyer programme including 2,000 'Flying Club' miles.
