Baby ban in first class on Malaysia Airlines

And to think, once you were a baby too. Why not ban EVERYBODY from the plane except yourself while you're at it?

I support this as well. If you paid for a First Class ticket you wouldn't want a baby screaming at the top of their lungs during a long intercontinetal flight.

Last year when my wife and I were flying from LA to Houston, a guy was almost arrested because he was being rude to a lady that had a small child. We were not in first class either. The kid was not even crying, so I dont know what his issue was. The guy started causing a scene, got rude, the mother started crying, the stewardess got involved,,,. I was really surprised the police were not waiting for the guy when we landed.

I felt like whipping his *** right then and there, but it was not worth me going to jail over.

As for banning small children from first class, no, everyone was a child at one time. Deal with it.

Sheesh, while I hate children I don't have a problem if they're being well-behaved. He must have been having a bad day...

Poor argument.
The parents must control their child, stay in economy/business class or simply don't fly at all. Try taken a screaming or bratty child into a concert hall or church.

Because I don't like babies? Doesn't sound like a good enough reason to base your comment on. No ones baby is special. They're all ugly, they all look nearly the same, and they all sound annoying.

You sound like a parent who doesn't like it when people don't like their baby. If that's wrong I apologize.

I think it was how you lumped in any noise a baby makes as annoying that drew poor attention to yourself, when its human fact that a baby coo is one of the coolest sounds in the world, thus you are a terrible human for finding it annoying.

Otherwise I agree, babies can be annoying when they're making noise just to draw attention, but that's a lot of fault on the parent(s).

Sadly, most adults are far worse.

From a business standpoint, this is plain stupid by the airline. Potential loss in revenue from not being able to fill up premium seats, just a dumb business decision right there.

Noise canceling earbuds certainly helps, but it still doesn't completely cut out the screaming kids or bratty kids that fights with each others.

I see this as a great thing...and a good start.

Babies should be banned from ALL airline flights, but the airlines SHOULD be able to operate a small percentage as "baby flights" where they're permitted. (with some restrictions)

If I can't smoke on the damned airplane, I shouldn't have to put up with a screaming baby...(or a stinky, unwashed traveler either...make pre-flight showers mandatory?) 😛

A great start would be to ban all assholes, that would really make all my flights so much nicer...I would rather listen to a dozen screaming kids than hear one douche complaining about them, get over yourself.

Why do people keep bringing up "you used to be a baby too" like it's in ANNNNNNNNNY way relevant? Because it isn't.

Also, the colbert was supposed to signify sarcasm. I apologize.

I have kids and have flown with them, but I agree that screaming kids can be very annoying. I wouldn't mind if a kid was crying here and there, but when a baby screams for an hour straight it's tough on people. I'm not blaming the parent, sometimes there's just nothing you can do, but it can certainly be annoying. Especially on transatlantic flights when you're trying to sleep. Now those who complain or give the parents dirty looks, etc are assholes. Many times there's nothing you can do.

Because we're reasonably assured that by your current asshat-douchebag nature, you were one of those kids on that flight which everyone else had to listen to the whole way.

My bad...seems like so many people around are are so "anti-kids" they forget they were once one too, though to be honest I'm glad so many won't be reproducing and passing on their useless genes.

It isn't the happiest ttime in the world no...but people gotta travel and others don't have to be assholes about it...with as much as I fly I still only have maybe two filghts (out of 50+) a year with a kid crying, pretty good odds there but for every kid crying I hear half a dozen or more whiners around me complaining about it.

Jesus fucking christ parents are the touchiest people ever. Your kids aren't special. No one's are, and if, god forbid, I ever had kids they wouldn't either.

Also, I didn't fly when I was a kid. At least not until I was 7 when I started flying alone and was extremely well-behaved without supervision. Parents these days want no accountability, goddamn.

Thankfully there's not much of a chance of that happening.

I love when people who aren't parents preach to parents the correct way to parent.
