Rogers flew from Oklahoma to Houston, where she had a layover before taking off to the nation's capital on Sunday.
Rogers said she felt as though most of the passengers realized that they were "a little bit like-minded."
"Once we all made it on board and everything, there was just this vibe in the air like we were all excited to be going to D.C. for the inauguration," she added.
"Before we took off, the [flight attendant] was like, 'I just want to ask, is there anyone on this flight going to the inauguration?' and everyone started cheering."
In the video, recorded by Rogers, passengers are seen performing the iconic choreography associated with the 1978 disco number.
Rogers said that not everyone on the flight appeared to be heading to the inauguration, and there were some passengers who did not join the celebration, but they still remained respectful and let everyone "have their moment."
"Being on the plane and then [the flight crew] playing [the "Y.M.C.A."], it wasn't expected at all, but it was such a fun vibe," she added.
"That is amazing!!! That would of been the best [flight] to be on & I don't even like to fly!!!!," another user commented.
"They did this on our flight coming [into] DC yesterday! Most fun ever!!!!," another person wrote.
When Rogers arrived in Washington, D.C., she woke up at 3 a.m. on Inauguration Day and stood in line for five hours in the freezing cold before entering the Capital One Arena to watch the ceremony.
She said the "Y.M.C.A." has continued to follow her throughout the city as people are playing the song on speakers, and others do the "Trump dance"in the streets of D.C.
Fox News Digital reached out to Southwest Airlines for comment.
An airline passenger has gone viral for posting a video showing her Southwest flight playing "YMCA" upon landing in D.C. on the eve of President Donald Trump's inauguration.
