Passengers Kicked Off Planes Meets Reality TV - Southwest Airlines Has New Show on TLC

Some of the famous or not-so-famous who may get kicked off any Southwest Airlines planes may find themselves on reality TV.

Cable TV's odd reality series producing TLC announced this week it had picked up 13 episodes of a new reality show about Southwest Airlines.

The airline has made news by showing the door on one earlier flight to director Kevin Smith (reportedly for being too large for a seat) and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off another flight for wearing too saggy of pants recently as well.

Another episode that gained attention, L Word star Leisha Hailey was also kicked off a flight for arguing with the flight staff after a customer complained she was kissing her girlfriend.

Now those types of episodes and other chores that occur during the day of the the life of a SW Airlines employee and all the messy ways of travel will be on display soon as the airline has agreed to a deal for a reality TV series.

The series of 13 half-hour episodes will profile some of the airline's customers "as they prepare to travel for milestone moments," TLC says.

"Air travel has become incredibly accessible, and as a result, millions of travelers navigate the challenges of the airport, especially during the upcoming holiday season," said Amy Winter, general manager of TLC, in a statement.

"Southwest is a beloved brand, and their customers and employees will reveal the passion, commitment, and fantastic payoff of 'getting there' that helps keep us all flying."
