Yes, you can apply for being a cabin crew. They check that you're tall enough to reach the back of an overhead bin while standing on tip toes. Even though your reach is closely related to your height, the height you can reach to is more accurate for measuring your suitability to work inside the cabin.

Yes, a "5-foot girl" (approx. 152 cm) can become a cabin crew member, but it depends strictly on the specific airline's height and "arm reach" requirements. In 2026, many major Indian and international carriers have a minimum height requirement for females of 155 cm (approx. 5'1"). However, the more critical test is the Functional Reach Test: you must be able to reach a certain height (often 210–212 cm) while standing on tiptoes to ensure you can reach emergency equipment and overhead bins. Some airlines, like Air India, have historically set their minimum at 155 cm, while others may be more flexible if you can pass the reach test. A high-value peer tip: check "low-cost" domestic carriers first, as they sometimes have slightly lower height thresholds than long-haul international airlines. If you are 152 cm, you are just on the border; stretching exercises and maintaining a healthy BMI can help you maximize your reach during the interview's "Physical Assessment" phase.
