05 Feb The height of a flight attendant
The questions regarding the height of a flight attendant are very common. Height limits vary from company to company and it represents an elimination criteria.
What height should I have to be hired as cabin crew?
Generally, a future cabin crew needs to be at least 157 cm tall. Here are some guidelines for the height required by companies that frequently recruit:
- Etihad Airways – arm reach of 212 cm – must reach this height with your arm, barefoot; you can stand on your toes.
- Qatar Airways – arm reach of 212 cm – must reach this height with your arm, barefoot; you can stand on your toes.
- Emirates – at least 160 cm and arm reach of 212 cm – must reach this height with your arm, barefoot; you can stand on your toes.
- Ryanair – at least 157 cm, maximum 188 cm.
- Wizz Air – at least 165 cm for women and at least 175 cm for men.
- British Airways – at least 158 cm; max 186 cm.
- Virgin Atlantic – at least 158 cm.
- Easyjet – at least 158 cm, max 190 cm
Good luck!

Posted at 18:20h, 09 MayI wanted to ask you that if I have some scars on my hand can I be selected for cabin crew?
I have read many articles where it was written that the scars doesn’t matters as the dress code for cabin crew has long sleeves but I just wanted to ask that is it really true? Do they really care about scars and all ? What if it can be covered when I wear the dress ? Please reply me.
Larisa Sîrbu
Posted at 16:05h, 10 MayHello! As long as your scars aren’t visible when you wear the cabin crew uniform, then you have nothing to worry about! Even so, if your scars do show when you wear the uniform, there will be a problem only if your scars are extremely big and obvious. If that isn’t the case, then I advise you to go after you dream and attend a cabin crew interview! If you can cover them with makeup or a watch for example, that’s even better!
Best of luck,
Larisa

Georgiana Birdan
Posted at 10:04h, 20 JanuaryHello!
Yes, you can be a cabin crew while having 195 cm. You can apply to companies that don’t have a maximum height or those who have it and you fit in their requirements. Your height could be accepted by most of the companies such as Wizz Air, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar etc.
Good luck!

Georgiana Birdan
Posted at 09:08h, 29 JanuaryHello dear Cristian!
If you reach the minimum height of the company desired, there is no problem. So if you are aiming for a company that has the minimum reach of 210 cm, it’s perfect for you as you can do that.
Good luck!
