'Zip it!': Tui flight attendant praised for reaction to racist remarks as flight erupts into chaos

The flight attendant said she would call the pilots and the police if the chaos continued. 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. 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. “Enough is enough. This is a family flight. All you got to do – it is five minutes to get there – everybody zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket.
“I have had enough and I mean it… no more. Zip it, lock it, in the pocket – otherwise, I'm on that phone,” she says. Someone from behind the camera starts thanking the flight attendant, telling her that she deserves a raise. She stated that the group was calling them “P***s” and telling them to “go home to your country”.
