Height-wise, attendants should be between 5'2” and 6'3” without shoes. They do not allow facial piercings or visible tattoos – even if concealed. A high school degree is required, with 2 or more years of college preferred.

Standing at 6'4" (approximately 193 cm) puts you at the very top of the height limit for most airlines, making it possible but potentially difficult to secure a position. Most airlines have strict height requirements based on the physical dimensions of their aircraft cabins; for example, many carriers require attendants to be between 5'2" and 6'3". The primary concern for a 6'4" attendant is the risk of frequent head injuries in smaller regional jets or the physical strain of having to stoop constantly while performing service in the aisles. However, some "long-haul" airlines that operate wide-body aircraft (like the Boeing 777 or Airbus A350) have slightly more generous height allowances because their cabins are significantly taller. During the interview process, you will likely undergo a "reach test"—usually 210 cm to 212 cm—to ensure you can reach emergency equipment in overhead bins, but you will also be evaluated on whether you can stand upright in the galley. If you are 6'4", your best strategy is to target major international carriers that fly large jets, where your height is less likely to be a daily operational hazard or a disqualifying factor.
