Default TLC Launches New Series About Southwest

TLC TAKES OFF WITH NEW SERIES ABOUT MODERN AIR TRAVEL
Viewers Have Premium Access to Southwest Airlines


Los Angeles, CA - This week, TLC starts production on a new series that takes viewers behind the scenes of the modern air travel experience, sharing the large-scale operations and personal customer stories at Southwest Airlines. The network has ordered 13 half hour episodes, which are being produced by ITV Studios America. A title and premiere date have not been set.

With 100 million passengers a year, Southwest is one of the country's largest and busiest airlines. TLC has unprecedented access, going beyond the gate to reveal what it takes to transport its customers in an era that finds flying seemingly more complicated than ever before. The series will also join customers as they prepare to travel for milestone moments - sharing the story behind their journeys and the people they cross paths with during the trip.

"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, GM, TLC. "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."

Production begins this weekend at Baltimore Washington International Airport and Denver International Airport. Additional airports will be added in the coming weeks.

Didn't A&E do this a few years ago with 'Airline'?

More free advertising for Southwest. Did Herb make a deal with the devil years back or something? Everything always just seems to fall their way.

I loved their episodes - the one where they put 10 revenue standby passengers on a MDW-SDF flight to connect to MCO only to have them sent back 3 hours later was a classic!

But really, how is this any different than what they did before? It sounds more like advertising ("The series will also join customers as they prepare to travel for milestone moments - sharing the story behind their journeys and the people they cross paths with during the trip.") than before.

I think the life of solitary elitism has hurt your spelling ability some.

I'd like to get to my destination in peace and quiet as well. Different strokes for different folks, right?

If I get hungry while watching this fine show, do I buy the pizza or hope Southwest sends one to me?
