Good.

Finally ............. they could extend to business class also .. I love babies but when you pay 3,000euro for a ticket ,you deserve some quiet time without some babies crying.... not their fault of course , we all have been babies but it can be really disturbing , specially when you have early meetings and need some sleep in the plane.

I have 3 kids and agree with the ban. The worst 17 hours I have ever spent was between Seoul amd Los Angeles, with a baby screaming the whole way. Not the babies fault, it was the parents.

Excellent move.

[supaprik]

all airlines should have the balls to do this....

[Hog Head]

excellent and they just guaranteed my business

[likewise]

great move, do parents realize how much of a burden they are to other travelers with their babies crying during a long haul flight?

[TheWalkingMan]

I agree with MA. Who wants to pay for first class service and listen to a screaming baby.

Actually, reminds me of a time when I boarded a Gulf Air

flight in Bahrain for my annual leave to the UK, only to

find I was seated next to a woman travelling with two

young girls and a boisterous baby. I protested to the

flight attendant and was given the usual mutterings about

maybe changing seats after take-off.

"And to make matters worse," I said, "They are my kids."

[moe666]

I have children and I have no problem with the ban I will just go else where heheheheeh.

Whats the difference from an upper class tosser being kept awake in first class, than say a working class family in economy who in relative to their earnings also spent a lot of money on their tickets?

[up-country_sinclair]

Many years ago there used to be smoking sections on flights. IMO they should do the same with babies. Quarantine them all to one section so they don't disrupt the other passengers. Probably not economically feasible, but perhaps it should be an enclosed area.

It is possible to disagree with someone's opinion without being rude and insulting. I suggest you give it a try.

Percentage-wise, maybe no difference. But it would still be annoying.

[doggie888888]

Good news. I hope MAS extends to business/economy. Or chuck the kids with their parents into separate area. And I hope it is such a success that other airlines also do something about insulating us from kids on long haul flights.

It's really not the kids' fault but often, it's the parents who don't understand that others do not view their kids as the center of the entire universe.

Most responsible parents should not mind. But usually these parents have better behaved kids anyway and their status is jeopardised by irresponsible parents who think it acceptable for their brats to yell becasue there is no cartoon on TV or no ice cream on the menu or just becasue they are plain bored.

[Familyonthemove]

Can they extend the ban to obese people? And people with loud headphones? Oh, and people who want to read when I want to sleep. Or people who want to sleep when I want to go to the toilet.

Yes, other peoples babies can be annoying, but a plane is still public transport and you have to mix with everyone else who can afford the ticket.

Fantastic news!!!

Wish Thai Airways would do the same,

[kurnell]

Yep, I am sure parents are thinking of you when they take their kids home to see grandma.

[nottocus]

Fantastic. Cage them all at the back end of the plane so they don't disturb anybody. I hate crying babies...in a plane or not.

[jdinasia]

excellent and they just guaranteed my business

I agree ... for long-haul flights it looks as if I have a new carrier!

[WilliaminBKK]

Good move for MH, wish TG would do the same.

I have kids and would never take them in first class or even business class. And I bet the babies never pay full fair for first class either

[Wallaby]

You bloody ripper. About time an airline did something like this. I would imagine it has come about because the majority that travel first class complained. Majority rules.

I would think it won't be long before other airlines do similar.

[doccalamity]

My experience has been that most of the business class and first class travelers are babies themselves.

So if this is taken to its logical conclusion they might be in trouble.

who the hell was the parents fault. Maybe the baby was sick or teething. First class parents have kids to and should be entitled to travel what ever way they want.
