The only catch? The flight you pick needs to be booked between 4 March and 31 December. After you’ve booked it, email your details to screwit@fly.virgin.com and they’ll confirm a place for you on the course.

And the best part? If you’ve not conquered your fear before you’re due to take flight Virgin Atlantic will refund your fare.

“Hopefully by guaranteeing to cure people of one of the main things holding them back, we can inspire Britain to choose something more positive than the clichéd Blue January nonsense.

With four in ten people missing out on jetting off to exotic locations due to their phobia (according to YouGov), a little help could go a long way.
