If I am 155 cm tall but able to reach 2.01 m on the vertical arm reach test with both arms, can I apply as a cabin crew?
Jannah A. asked a question to Ruby S.
I’m able to reach the required height in the vertical arm reach test with one hand on each side, but not with both hands at the same time. I’m very eager to pursue my career here. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Jannah, thanks for your question.
As part of the British Airways cabin crew recruitment process, applicants complete a reach test to ensure they can safely access the emergency equipment and overhead lockers on board. You’ll need to be able to reach a height of 2.01 metres while standing flat-footed, without shoes, and with one arm fully extended upwards.
There isn’t a minimum height requirement, so as long as you can comfortably reach 2.01 metres without assistance, you meet the standard - it doesn’t need to be with both hands at the same time. This test is simply in place to make sure all crew can operate safely on board.
You can find more details about the role and recruitment process on the Cabin Crew FAQ page, and stay up to date with new vacancies by registering for job alerts here.
I hope that helps 😊
