Babies to be banned from First Class cabins

Malaysia Airlines will ban babies travelling in First Class on the airline's new Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-400 fleet.

MAS said the baby ban was prompted by numerous complaints about crying infants from First Class passengers, the Australia Business Traveller reports. 



The airline will 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. 



The airline's 747-400s fly between Kuala Lumpur and Sydney, as well as KL-London and KL-Amsterdam, with the Airbus A380s due to take over those routes in 2012.
