Malaysia Airlines banning babies in first class on long flights
Malaysia Airlines will ban babies from traveling first class on its Airbus A380 super jumbo jets…
The decision comes after the airline banned babies from the first class section of its fleet of Boeing 747-400 jets…
The airline ordered six A380s and the first is expected to be delivered in June 2012. “We’re planning to stick to our policy for now,” CEO Tengku Azmil told Australian Business Traveller in a Twitter exchange when asked whether the first class section of its A380 planes will have bassinets…
Some Twitter users questioned why the airline doesn’t try other nursing techniques, such as employing sky nannies and distributing baby blankets.
Defending his policy, Azmil said that while it was “a tough call,” it addresses complaints from first class passengers that they spend a lot of money on first class travel but are often unable to sleep because of wailing infants.
Instead, babies and their parents will now need to fly in the airline’s business and economy classes.
I think I’ll skip a smart-ass comment on this one. Certainly, I appreciate some level of accommodation for air passengers. I’m not at all certain everything should be decided on the basis of profit and class.

This is a real hit at our home – not because we have any babies around; but, we have at least one of our dogs who matches this guy note for note.
