MALAYSIA Airlines is to ban babies travelling in first class on the airline's new Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-400 fleet.
The airline said they have introduced the baby ban after receiving a number of complaints about crying infants from first class passengers, the Australia Business Traveller reports.
The airline has decided not to install bassinets in the first class cabin of its Boeing 747-400 fleet.

Those wishing to travel with babies will have to book bassinets in business or economy sections instead.
Malaysia Airlines CEO Tengku Azmil told the Australia Business Traveller first-class passengers complained about spending a lot of money and not being able to sleep “due to crying infants".

My opinion
I've been to a two hour flight and there were time when you just have to deal with it. What I don't like about this new ban is how bias and discriminating towards the business and economy class. Why not designate a place just for parents and their kids instead of the business and economy class suffering when they instead have to deal with crying babies.
It just doesn't make sense to me at all.
