Airline companies and flight attendant recruiters have different requirements for their FA and cabin crew applicants. However the lists below are the common qualifications of airline companies recruiting flight attendants in the Philippines.

Airline companies here usually schedule a grand recruitment for cabin crew and flight attendant applicants. On that day, the candidates bring CV/resume and wear a specific attire for the screening. Once they liked you, you will have to attend again another day for another interview and orientation.
Usually, recruiters offer flight attendant training course for the qualified candidates to prepare them to emergency situations, inflight services, swimming, and personality development. Qualified cabin crews are required to successfully complete pre-employment physical and practical examination.

Hi there ! Qualification is just guidelines for you To evaluate yourself. But i doesnt mean you really have to meet everything. tell you honestly They are after of your personality and Looks is just secondary . Every airline have their own standards. Why not try your luck you might be next flight attendant onboard. Just present yourself well , be confident .
-18 is the legal age for you to work.
-Vision does’t have to be perfect as long as you can work efficiently. Contct lenses is allowed .
-height maybe 5’4 up . ( 5’3″ maybe it depend)
And ipams should be in malate . If im not wrong . You guys can always check.
I hope you find this helpful.
Cheers
Hi Jan! Are you an FA? 🙂
Parang ang hirap mag apply for an FA position online dito sa Pinas. Hehe. Any suggestions where to apply? Puwede kaya mag walk-in dun sa IPAMS?
Hi! I’ve been wanting to land on this kind of Job like, since high school. Pangarap ko talaga to. Last 2012, I tried to apply in Cebu Pacific and unfortunately, I didn’t get the job. I noticed na yung mga na-hire medyo bilugin ang katawan. I’m 5’7 1/2″. I believe proportional naman yung weight sa height ko but I look skinny because I’m doing some ramp modeling. Do you think I need to have more “bilugin” kind of body para makapasa? or sa Cebu Pac lang yun? Also, sa shape ng mukha, meron bang specific na shape ng mukha silang hinahanap? Coz mine is like more oval and I have malapad na noo (Like Tyra Banks face shape). Hindi narin ako 20/20 vision ngayon, but I think mako-correct pa. Any advice?
Only you can know if you dare to come at the recruitment 🙂 Go Tyra!
Hi nag submit ako ng resume mga ilang days sila usually nagrreply? Thank you!

My girlfriend wants to apply for this job. She started working in a bank 2011 to present that’s her first job after she graduated. San po ba okay? definitely hindi siguro sa pal (hehe) after all what we have watched on news. Pasok naman siya lahat sa qualifications ako kasi pinag hahanap niya online dahil busy siya sa work. She want internetional.. saan po kaya okay diyan sa list ng international?
Thank you very much.
Visit the official websites of international airlines she wants to apply. I also suggest apply at IPAMS agency in Makati. They are the agency who hires cabin crews and flight attendants for airlines like Saudi Air, Qatar and the like
Hi. 🙂 I just want to ask regarding the set of teeth. Mine is not that good, do you think that will be a hindrance for me to pass the interview? I’ll wait for your response. Thanks a lot. God bless!
Good Day !
Is it possible that you can be cabin crew eventhough you just took up associate in airline management( 2 yrs.) ? thank you
Hi! I’m only 16 & I’m just about to enter college. I’m still undecided if I should take tourism since I have countless scars all over my body. Ahhhh I’m confused because I might end up being jobless if I won’t be accepted because of these scars. But I seriously can’t imagine myself doing anything else rather than serving people in the sky. College is just a month away and I’m still confused ahhhh. Do they really check out and make a big deal out of scars? Thank you so muuuuuuuuuch! 🙂
Hi! i just want to ask if we can apply with those international airlines, like for example in Cathay Pacific, based on their website applicant should be a resident on Hongkong. I really wanna work in that company. Please reply! Thanks god bless
Since childhood ..being a flight attendant someday is all i want to be…and now i think this is the right time to grab the opportunity ..but one thing im only afraid of…I am not that quite good in english ..do you think I cant be qualified to become FA?
Your English is good here. If you have the confidence and good looks, apply now girl 🙂
Hi!! I would like to confirm if it’s true that some airlines require their apllicant to have 20/20 vision ? I just found out 2 mos ago that I have astigmatism so I wear corrective glasses/ lense all the time. I really want to be a Flight Attendant but I’m concerned that my poor eyesight might be a hindrance. Oh and BTW kudos to you for a very informative blog..:)
Yes majority of airlines require 20/20 vision.

Good Afternoon.
I want to be a Flight Attendant but my problem is I don’t have a complete set of teeth. Do i still qualified for that? Is it necessary that you must be a Tourism graduate? I’m 5’3 by the way.
Not necessarily a Tourism graduate and not necessarily complete set of teeth. If your smile is amazing, girl you have a chance. Just apply to companies hiring flight attendants / cabin crew to know if you will be accepted. Best of luck! 🙂
Hi! I just found your blog very helpful and your comments are quite encouraging. My dream is to be a flight attendant but I’m afraid I don’t have a perfect set of teeth. Do they have specific standard in that area? Sorry if it sound silly but my confidence in the matter really lies there. Hope to hear from you. God Bless! 😀
Geez yes, they always look for the skin, teeth, face and attitude (confidence). Good looks and good attitude = more chance
Im 17 and a communications student. I’m still looking into being a Flight attendant but i hear they require perfect set of teeth. I already lost 4 teeth but right now i have braces. I’m 5″6. Do i still have a chance? PLEASE REPLY. Thank you so much.
I think complete set of teeth means, no “bungi.” Apply and smile. Who cares if you have braces, if you are good looking and smart, maybe they would like you and hire you. Braces can be removed anyway 🙂 Best of luck, beautiful!
hi.mam/sir:
Good day i would like to apply in your company for the position of flight attendant.I’m a bachelors degree.5’6 1/2 in height an i want to work in your good company.thank you.
I am bachelors degree and I think I meet all of the qualifications being asked, I am pleasing personality and with height of 5′ 6″, I want a career on that field, I want that kind of job that will experience and explore the world, I am hospitable person, love to talk and mingle with different people, I have many foreigner friends…
Can you help me apply in pal I wanna be a cabin crew haha wanna go international tnx just add me in Wechat 1072020352@qq.com or email me
how about applicants with braces? Is it okay? 🙂
If they liked you, then just tell them you will soon remove the braces.
How about the height requirement? Are they strict about that? Let say, your height is 5’1″?
Thanks for the info! I find your blog very helpful. More Power!
Yes they are strict with height and physical looks. Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Omg! So I have no chance to become one because im only 5’1 in height? That’s totally sad 🙁
It says in the requirements, that must at least completed 2 years in college. i haven’t graduated in college yet supposed to be 4th year in my my bachelor degree but my father can’t support me. could this be an exception? or still i have to take 2 year courses?
Right now airlines are getting strict so they require college grads because a flight attendant apparently is now a professional career
what if my height is not that quite good?what if my weight is not that proportional?but i have a good set of teeth,quite fluent in english?Can i be qualified?
