About us

About our courses

We run fear of flying courses at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Dubai* and Johannesburg* to help you overcome your fear. Over the last thirty years, over 50,000 people have attended these one day courses to overcome their fear of flying - click on our testimonials to see how they've done.

Depending on the time of the flight, the day usually starts around 0900 and is divided into morning (technical) and afternoon (psychology) sessions, followed by a flight* on a BA jet with a running commentary from one of our course pilots from the flight deck.

Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout the day.

The flight is normally around 1700, and the day finishes at around 1830, although the finish time is of course subject to any flight delays on the day, we generally recommend you do not make any plans for the evening, other than to relax after your day and to celebrate your success!

*The courses in Dubai and Johannesburg are ground based only and do not include a flight.
