Savannah Chrisley reveals she was ‘thrown’ off a Southwest flight for being an ‘unruly passenger’ as she describes the ‘horrible’ experience in Instagram diatribe
Savannah Chrisley revealed she was thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight for being an “unruly passenger.”
The 25-year-old reality TV star took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to describe the “terrible experience” that happened while trying to board a flight at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.
Chrisley was on her way home to Tennessee when a flight attendant reportedly “threw her off the flight” after she refused to check in her carry-on bag.
“Okay guys, so I officially know why everyone hates Southwest so much. I mean he absolutely hates it – the worst thing in the whole world,” she said in the clip.
She then showed a flight attendant at the gate and said, “This man here… um, awful. I was boarding my flight and he told me to check my bag. I was like, “Okay, if you don’t mind, I’ll take my bag on the flight, see if I can’t get it fitted and if not, I’ll check it.”‘

When the attendant told her that was not an option and she had to check the bag, she said again that she would first check if there was room for her bag on the plane.
Then the attendant reportedly called her “an unruly passenger.”
Chrisley claims that at one point even the pilot stepped in and sided with her, telling the flight attendant to ‘calm down’ and that he would find a place for the bag.
However, that did not help the situation. “The Southwest attendant literally looked at the pilot—the man who was flying our plane and responsible for our safety—and said stay out of it,” she said.
“Now I’m not going to lie, when this Southwest valet told the pilot to calm down, I told him there was no need for him to be an a****e today and then he threw me off the flight.”
Chrisley told the attendant that ‘I had a 10-year-old that I absolutely had to go home to tonight and well, the Southwest caretaker said, ‘I don’t care.'”
“I told him I hope he finds a better purpose for his life. Maybe I shouldn’t have said it, but the devil came over me and Jesus didn’t come out,” Savannah said.
The child in question is most likely her niece, Chloe, who she became the primary guardian of after her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were sent to prison for tax fraud.
