Wizz Air cabin crew requirements
The hard filters Wizz Air applies before a recruiter reads your CV — age, reach, tattoos, languages and documents, with how strict each one is compared to the rest of the industry.
Minimum age
18 years
Most carriers set 18; Gulf and US majors usually 21.
Height & reach
165 cm min · 210 cm reach
6 airlines ask for the same 210 cm; 16 demand more.
Tattoos
Nothing visible in uniform
No tattoos visible in uniform; coverable tattoos accepted, visible hand, neck or face tattoos are not. Like most of the 59 airlines we index, nothing may show while you are in uniform.
Languages
Fluent English
Fluent English; local base language an advantage for announcements and sales.
Education
Secondary education completed.
Also required
Medical, swimming & documents
Right to live and work in the base country, ability to swim, willingness to relocate to any assigned base, and full flexibility for early/late duties; initial training is provided free.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum height for Wizz Air cabin crew?
Wizz Air measures reach rather than height alone: you must touch 210 cm, with a minimum height of 165 cm. Practise against a wall on tiptoes before the assessment day.
Can you join Wizz Air cabin crew with tattoos?
No tattoos visible in uniform; coverable tattoos accepted, visible hand, neck or face tattoos are not. Covered tattoos are not a problem; anything showing in uniform is.
What age do you need to be to apply to Wizz Air?
The minimum is 18. There is no published upper limit at most carriers, and experienced applicants in their 30s and 40s are hired regularly.
Requirements change without notice — tattoo and grooming rules in particular have been relaxed at several airlines since 2022. Always confirm on Wizz Air's official careers page before ruling yourself out.
