Flight attendants have to go through many procedures to get the job, such as passing an exam on Safety Emergency Procedures, Aviation Medicine, and even the standard of the uniforms.

This also includes a physical test which takes place over four weeks of intense training.

One part of the physical test also dictates that only if you’re a certain height you will be able to pass.

This is so that all flight attendants are able to reach the first aid kit in an emergency.

An anonymous flight attendant revealed to Express.co.uk: "I'm 5”3 - even if you’re a little bit above is fine it's only because the medical kit is in the overhead lockers and they test to see if you can reach it.”

Airlines differ in how tall flight attendants must be to be eligible to fly with an airline.

Bizarrely, there is also a height restriction of being too tall, most likely due to being comfortable in the cabin.

For example, British Airways deems that flight attendants must be between 5”2 and 6”1, with a reach of 79 inches.

Therefore it isn’t just being too short that could hinder an application, but also being too tall.

Other airlines simply have a minimum height, which many state as being 5”2 as well.

British Airways: Height 5"2 – 6"1. Reach of 79ins

EasyJet: Height 5"3 – 6"3

Ryanair: Height 5"2 – 6"2

Thomas Cook: Minimum height 5"2

Monarch: Minimum height 5"2

Thomson: Minimum height 5"2

Emirates: Minimum height 5"2. Reach of 83ins

Qatar: Reach of 83ins

Virgin: Reach of 82.5ins

Singapore Airlines: Minimum height 5"2 (women) and 5"5 (men)

A flight attendant also revealed other secrets of the job, one of which concerns the bedroom sleeping arrangements.

During a stopover, it may not be as glamorous as people may picture.

Amanda Pleva, a flight attendant of fifteen years, wrote on travel blog Flyertalk: “You’ll share a bedroom with 10 other people.

“Crashpads, the apartments shared by flight attendants and pilots when they’re away from home and in between trips, are a weird world.”
