Some of our favorite iPhone apps this year recently made it’s way to Adweek’s list.

Virgin Atlantic Flying Without Fear
Virgin’s $4.99 app is targeted towards fearful fliers. The content comes from a course Virgin has taught for years. It answers common questions like, “What is that noise?” and includes relaxation exercises. Released in early November, Flying Without Fear is Virgin’s first stab at a mobile app. The app may have a high download fee, but it got Virgin coverage in dozens of blogs and news outlets. It ranks No. 27 in the App Store paid apps travel category.

Pizza Hut
The fast-food restaurant bills its effort “a killer app for your appetite.” That might be going too far, but it does point the way towards the possibilities of mobile ordering. The app uses entertainment — users shake the phone to add sauce to wings, for instance — to make ordering a fun experience. While not without its detractors, the app boasts hard-core fans and has generated over $1 million in sales for Pizza Hut. It ranks No. 17 in the App Store’s lifestyle category.

Domino’s gave it a shot with their Pizza Tracker app as we reported back in July.

Pandora Radio
The ad-supported music business is seemingly imploding, but live-streaming service Pandora might have hit on a workable formula with its wildly popular iPhone app. It ports over online preferences to do exactly what it promises: create a personalized radio station. Its ads aren’t alienating users — yet. But this isn’t surprising since the value it brings is worth the price of some ad messages, including mobile campaigns for brands like Dockers. It’s the No. 1 music app in the App Store.
