BMI and "weight in proportion to height", what does the assessment actually check?

    No airline publishes a number anymore but everyone whispers about BMI. What actually happens? Do they weigh you? I'm 167 cm, 68 kg, and worried about the Gulf assessments.

    Nobody weighs you at an assessment. The practical checks are: can you fit and fasten the jumpseat harness without an extender, move down the aisle, lift the emergency equipment overhead. At 167/68 you're well within any of that. The Gulf carriers do look at overall presentation more strictly than European ones, but that's about grooming and uniform fit, not a scale.

    Singapore Airlines is the strict end and even there it's presentation and the kebaya fitting, not a number. Sofia, you're fine, focus on the group exercise.
