  easyJet releases more Fearless Flyer course dates as it celebrates the 200th programme in May - News & announcements

   

  • easyJet will celebrate its 200^th Fearless Flyer course on 10 May having helped nearly 14,000 people overcome their fear of flying since the programme launched in 2012
  • easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course is very competitively priced starting from £89
  • Experience flights take off from eight airports in May and June so customers across the UK can take to the skies fearlessly in time for the summer holidays

    easyJet has announced additional Fearless Flyer courses are available to book now to help aerophobes take to the skies with confidence in 2025.   Eight courses will run from 10 May 2025 to 23 June 2025, with experience flights taking place at eight UK airports; Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, London Luton, London Gatwick and easyJet’s new base London Southend Airport for the first time, so customers have the choice of a location convenient to them.   easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course continues to be one of the best-priced aerophobia programmes in the UK, starting at £89 per person for the online-only course.   Since 2012, the programme has helped nearly 14,000 individuals, with a success rate of more than 95%, and the airline will excitingly celebrate its 200^th course on Saturday 10 May 2025 with an experience flight taking off from London Gatwick Airport.   With one in six people estimated to be a nervous flyer, the course offers reassurance and winning techniques by senior easyJet pilots and phobia experts to help combat concerns around flying to help even the most ardent aerophobe to overcome their fear of flying.   easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course is divided into three main parts:  

  • A virtual ground course, where an easyJet captain explains the unfamiliar sounds and sensations customers feel onboard an aircraft during take off, landing and during times of turbulence. In addition, Lawrence Leyton, a leading expert in the psychology of fear, teaches a unique set of mind techniques to help manage nerves.
  • A pre-flight one-hour ‘Meet the Team’ online Zoom session, where participants will be walked through the airport experience and what to expect. There will also be a Q&A session with the Fearless Flyer Team including an easyJet pilot, Lawrence Leyton and Course Director Mark Wein, who shares his tips and advice on how he overcame his own fear of flying many years ago.
  • And lastly, a special one-hour experience flight from the course airport, where customers put their new skills to the test whilst listening to a live commentary of the flight from the Fearless Flyer team.

    Spaces on the courses are available at www.fearlessflyer.easyjet.com   Mark Wein, easyJet’s Fearless Flyer Course Director, said:   “As someone who used to have a fear of flying, I understand only too well how restrictive this fear can be, but it really isn’t that difficult to overcome it. Often, it’s just a lack of knowledge or a fear of panic attacks that is the root cause of the issue, which is why the easyJet Fearless Flyer course is so successful.   “We’re really excited to reach our 200^th course and it’s a testament to the easyJet pilots and Fearless Flyer team who have been committed to making this programme a success. I encourage anyone with any doubts about flying to book now and change your life.”   Richard Cox, who last flew 18 years ago, attended the Bristol course in March 2025 and said:   “All I can say is from start to finish it was all absolutely amazing, the online course is excellent, the zoom meeting was spot on and covered everything, meeting the team at the airport was brilliant there isn't a part that I could even try to criticise or say could be changed. Every member of the team were brilliant, but I have to say Captain Kate was a credit to easyJet, and cabin crew member Annie on board had so much time for me. Meeting the Captain on board certainly put my mind at ease as I was able to put a face to who was in control. Mark’s breathing exercises on board were priceless. I could go on all day, so in a nutshell everyone and every aspect was outstanding, I can't thank you all enough.”   easyJet's winter 2025 Fearless Flyer Experience Flights are taking place on the following dates across the UK:

This enables customers to have the convenience  of choosing from  seven locations across the UK.   With one in six people estimated to be a nervous flyer, the course is run by senior easyJet pilots and a phobia expert. Between them, they offer reassurance and winning techniques to help combat concerns around flying to enable even the most ardent aerophobe to overcome their fear of flying.   Since 2012 the course has helped over 13,000 individuals overcome their fear and take to the skies, after successfully completing the Fearless Flyer course., The programme has notched up a success rate of more than 95%, and it continues to be one of the best-priced aerophobia courses in the UK, starting at £89 per person for the online-only section.   easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course is divided into three main parts:  

  • A virtual ground course, where an easyJet captain explains the unfamiliar sounds and sensations customers feel onboard an aircraft during take off, landing and during times of turbulence. In addition, Lawrence Leyton, a leading expert in the psychology of fear, teaches a unique set of mind techniques to help manage nerves.

   

  • A pre-flight one-hour ‘Meet the Team’ online Zoom session, where participants will be walked through the airport experience and what to expect. There will also be a Q&A session with the Fearless Flyer Team including an easyJet pilot, Lawrence Leyton and Course Director Mark Wein, who shares his tips and advice on how he overcame his own fear of flying many years ago.

   

  • And lastly, a special one-hour experience flight from the course airport, where customers put their new skills to the test whilst listening to a live commentary of the flight from the Fearless Flyer team.

    Last minute spaces on the courses are available at fearlessflyer.easyjet.com   Captain Maria Pernia-Digings, easyJet’s Lead Fearless Flyer Pilot Presenter, said:   “As one of the Captains presenting the course, I have seen first-hand how so many nervous flyers conquer their worries and fears about flying and they are now enjoying traveling to all parts of the world for business, for holidays and visiting relatives. If you have a fear of flying, please come and join us and let us help you to spread your wings and change your life.”    Mark Wein, easyJet’s Fearless Flyer Course Director, said:   “As someone who used to have a fear of flying, I understand only too well how restrictive this fear can be, but it really isn’t that difficult to overcome it. Often, it’s just a lack of knowledge or a fear of panic attacks that is the root cause of the issue, which is why the easyJet Fearless Flyer course is so successful.   “Because our ground course covers all aspects of Aerophobia and then we complete the process with our confidence building Experience Flight, which includes the added benefit of a highly reassuring pilot commentary throughout the journey, by the end of the course, even the most nervous customer can look forward to their next flight with total confidence.”     Jasmine Cross, who attended the Gatwick Course in March 2024, said:   “The fearless flyer experience was one of a kind. From the very first online video that I watched there were so many questions answered for me that meant I already felt way more prepared to handle the experience flight than I would normally.   “Pre-flight I was less anxious and apprehensive about what was going to happen, if anything I felt excitement for the first time. Once on the flight, I used the techniques Lawrence advised which were extremely helpful, and with Maria explaining every detail perfectly I instantly felt at ease and safe.   “Mark was amazing too, it really helped to hear his story and how he overcame his fear, especially as his fear was the exact same as mine (turbulence). I could not recommend this course enough, to all the team involved in this process, thank you so much you have really changed my mind set about flying! “   easyJet's winter 2025 Fearless Flyer Experience Flights are taking place on the following dates across the UK:
