No more babies on planes! Airline Baby Ban

First topic message reminder :

Malaysia Airlines will be the first major airline to ban babies from the flying in the 1st class section of its aircraft & will extend the ban on its super jumbo, the A380. Malaysia airline's Chief Executive Officer, Tengku Azmil, confirmed the decision in an online Twitter exchange with Australian Business Traveler magazine, in which he said the airline's forthcoming A380 would not have bassinets, the in-flight cribs required for babies to fly in, installed. Parents who wish to fly with Malaysia Airlines' current fleet are restricted to the business and economy cabins, which do have bassinets available. First Airline Baby Ban!

In a discussion with followers on Twitter earlier this month, Azmil said that the decision was a tough call, but "There have been many complaints from 1st class passengers that they spend a lot of money on first class and cannot sleep due to crying infants." When asked by the magazine about the arrangement on board the Airbus A380 (Airline Baby Ban) which Malaysia Airlines will launch next year, Azmil said "We are planning to stick to our current old policy for now."

Because most major airlines make a significant proportion of their income from premium passengers (who tend to be the business type of people who travel alone), it's perhaps unsurprising that the demands of first class passengers are prioritized above those of parents or guardians with infants. In similar news last month, a British travel agency called the Thomson Holidays decided to launch a package called, "Thomson Couples," a vacation experience which guaranteed holiday travelers that there would be no children at their destination.

I wonder what the airlines will ban next, no SNORING no CORPULENT PEOPLE!

Airline baby ban, how do you feel about that?

The ban is only limited to the first class section, so if you do not fly 1st class (business class or premium class) you do not need to worry about this ban.

Really dumb..whats the sense in saying we ban taking babies along just because they disturb? What if you had to take your baby too someday? Babies crying is natural..there isn't any point in calling it disturbing.. There always will be alternative solution.

I wonder what is the essence? What if the parents will triple the payment, will they accept it?
