How do I get into Cabin Crew positions?

Hello Phoebe,

Thanks for your question! To become Cabin Crew with British Airways, you’ll need to apply via our official careers site when recruitment opens:

https://careers.ba.com

Here’s a quick overview of the process:

1. Check the Requirements

Before applying, make sure you meet the eligibility criteria:

• Minimum age of 18 years
• Ability to reach 2.01m on a functionality check
• Right to live and work in the UK
• Tattoos and piercings must not be visible when wearing the uniform
• Able to swim 25 metres unaided

A previous people-centred / customer service role may support your application.

2. Submit Your Online Application

When applications open, complete the online form - we don’t accept CVs directly.

3. Assessment Process

If shortlisted, you’ll be invited to an assessment day at our training centre. This may include:

• Group exercises
• Role-play scenarios
• A short interview
• A functionality check (height reach test)

4. Training

If successful, you’ll complete our training programme, covering safety, service, and first aid, before joining the team.

Since Cabin Crew recruitment is very popular, we recommend signing up for job alerts so you’re notified the moment roles become available:
