Southwest Airlines crew celebrates Donna Kelce as 'Most Valuable Parent' on flight
Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Kansas City were treated to a very special "MVP" on board. Donna Kelce, mother to NFL stars Travis and Jason, was introduced by crew members as a "Most Valuable Parent."
Donna Kelce caught a commercial flight with Southwest Airlines after one of her sons, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, won the Super Bowl.
The Dallas-based carrier posted an Instagram reel late Monday showing a Southwest crew member informing passengers over the intercom system that they were "on a special flight."
"We are carrying a VIP – a Very Important Parent – this afternoon," the crew member said. "Mama Kelce is onboard, everybody. Congratulations to her and her family and all the team over at the Chiefs, well done, very proud."

Sitting in a row close to the front of the plane, Donna Kelce could be seen chanting the end of "you gotta fight for your right to party" – a line from the Beastie Boys song of the same name that her son made popular among Chiefs fans – along with other passengers. She also received some cheers, according to the video.
