A flight attendant has gone viral for telling passengers on a flight to Lanzarote to “zip it” after one group said other travellers were making racist remarks.
The video, captured on a December 2023 Tui flight from London Gatwick to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, shows a flight attendant trying to quell chaos that erupted on the journey.
The video, which was by @Zaypip on TikTok and has amassed 1.9 million view, shows a flight attendant yelling: “If I hear one more remark from anybody, I will be ringing the pilots and they will be getting the police.”
In the next clip, the flight attendant returns to the area and asks “What did I just say?” to which one passenger replies “They are threatening me”.
The flight attendant then gives a phone signal with her hand to someone off-camera.
In an extended, follow-up video that Zaypip posted, the flight attendant is also heard saying: “That is enough, this is a family flight. It is Christmas Eve.

The alleged remarks were not captured on the video.
Zaypip told the publication she was travelling with her six-year-old niece, husband, brother and sister when the incident occurred.
She said: “They occupied several rows, including the one immediately behind us, and their kids were running along the aisle and the adults were shouting across to their kids and each other. The passengers on the flight were not comfortable to begin with. Everyone was looking at them.”
She said that while her family usually speak in English, they switched to Farsi for a minute, which she said led them to be “very rude because we changed our…
