Knowledge is power to fly without fear

Cheapflights.co.uk, the UK’s leading price comparison website, is delighted to present a selection of courses that will cure fearful fliers who want to take to the skies – but up until now have been afraid to do so.

Cheapflights has sourced three courses available to coach would-be fliers from the runway to the airways and all the information will soon be joining Cheapflights.co.uk’s family of tips pages at Cheapflights.co.uk/travel-tips.

Ranging in price from £195 for a group session to £1,995 for individual training, the programmes primarily focus on de-mystifying the flying process – covering everything from how the plane stays in the air, the ups and downs of turbulence to the noises that nervous passengers can expect when flying. Three companies – Aviatours, Virgin Atlantic and Flying Fear – offer these programmes, Virgin Atlantic luring trophy seekers with the bonus of a certificate signed by Mr Richard Branson himself.

Aviatours works in conjunction with British Airways, while Flying Fear is supported by Flybe, and all companies use highly knowledgeable trainers to explain everything novice fliers will need to know – all in preparation for the flight that comes as part of the course. The tips page on the Cheapflights website will also explain the length and locations of the courses, as well as the relevant contact details for each course.

Francesca Ecsery, General Manager of Cheapflights.co.uk, comments “Knowledge is power, and Cheapflights is pleased to bring consumers the information they need to take their first step off the couch and onto a plane. To get up in the air and see the world, without apprehension, is a great reward for those willing to overcome their fears and discover the joy of flying”.
