Virgin Australia
Anything that Richard Branson touches has to be at the highest quality. One of the biggest problems surrounding flying involves your nerves. Many people tend to be extremely frightened on their first airplane ride. Branson teamed up with Smiling Mind to deliver breathing videos that will calm those fears. The billionaire even celebrated the partnership with a meditation flight. “Integrating mindfulness into our everyday lives is just as important as eating well and exercising regularly, and I am so excited to see Virgin Australia deeply embedding mindfulness into the workplace and onboard flights,” Branson said at the event. Based out of Australia, Smiling Mind’s phone app has seen over 2.5 million downloads worldwide.

JetBlue have always cared about the health of their customers. In 2002, the company was the first major airline to feature in house yoga sessions. Recently, the company unveiled their new partnership with rising app Headspace. The meditation company, which formed in 2010, has been one of the biggest in their respective field. The company has A-list investors in Jessica Alba, Ryan Seacrest , and Jared Leto. Celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds, Emma Watson, and Gwyneth Paltrow use Headspace all of the time. This union brings videos about various topics of flying. As expected, everyone gets complimentary access to the application.
