Airline Flight Attendant Job Requirements

Airlines require their flight attendants to meet certain minimum age, education, and physical requirements, which vary somewhat from airline to airline. The minimum age requirement is usually 19, but most airlines like attendants to be at least 21 years old. A high school diploma or its equivalent is required, but many airlines now require two years of college or experience working in customer service jobs of some type. Almost 50 percent of all flight attendants are now college graduates, and 70 percent have some college education.

Most airlines require attendants to be height-weight proportionate, and even have certain maximum weight allowances depending on height. Applicants should also be well groomed and wear only conservative jewelry. Men must have their hair cut above the collar and be clean-shaven, although a mustache usually is allowed. Corrected vision either with contact lenses or glasses is also now acceptable for flight attendants.
