I flew first class with my then 10 month old son earlier in the year from Seattle to Houston (4 hour flight). He did pretty well, but he did get fussy at one point, so I walked him to the back of the plane, which chilled him out. I have no problem with people taking a small child in first class, but it's like taking them to a nice restaurant: if the kid cries, move them to a more acceptable location like the restroom until they calm down. Since I've had kids, I have noticed that the back 5 or 6 rows seem to have a high concentration of kids in them. I also seem to get placed back there by default when I fly with one of my kids. It's actually kind of nice being surrounded by other kids. Mine are usually pretty well behaved, but if they do cry, they're in the right part of the plane.
Baby ban in first class on Malaysia Airlines Malaysia Airlines will ban babies from traveling first class on its Airbus A380 super jumbo jet, according to online reports. The decision comes after the airline banned babies from the first class section of its fleet of Boeing 747-400 jets. The baby ban will be extended to its Airbus A380 jets, Malaysia Airlines CEO Tengku Azmil told Australian Business Traveller on Sunday via Twitter. Requests from CNNGo to Malaysia Airlines for comment went unanswered at time of writing. The airline ordered six A380s and the first is expected to be delivered in June 2012. "We r planning to stick to our policy for now," Azmil told Australian Business Traveller in a Twitter exchange when asked whether the first class section of its A380 planes will have bassinets. (Read the complete exchange here). 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. The airline's 747-400 planes make long-haul flights between Kuala Lumpur and Sydney, London and Amsterdam.
Don't travel when I'm traveling then because my kids sit with me in first most of the time when I travel. I pay for the seat, I get to sit where ever the f**k I want.
My peeve at the airport is all the people in economy blocking my way at the gate when I'm trying to get on to the airplane. I'm tired of asking people if they are in line to get on the darn plane. I use to wait until everyone got on board first but these fools in economy are putting their bags in the bins in first because of the stupid bag fees.
LOL s land balla too po' to fly private. Maybe stop spending your foodstamps on cheeto's and you could afford a Gulfstream or a...snicker...netjets membership...
How much you want to bet OP didnt pay anything and this was company dime? Hey OP I'm more interested in follow up colombia notes. need the gritty details.
Not true at all. Intercontinental flights generally have a first class unless it's some low cost carrier.
If they make a racket, flight attendants should have the power to tell the parents to take the child to the back of the airplane. For anyone paying that much for a seat, relative peace and quiet should be an unalienable right. Ever heard of crying infants at places like the 21 or Da Marco? Didn't think so.
The no ticket policy for infants should only apply to economy. If you want an infant in first, they should be required to have a ticket.
