Malaysia Airlines prohibits babies from traveling first class

Malaysia Airlines has decided that Babies up to two years old will be prohibited from traveling in first class in its Airbus A380 super jumbo.

It is not the first time that news like this is heard. Even on April Fools' Day in America Ryanair He ran a story that said the same thing, that they would not let the children travel in their planes, something that raised a lot of controversy and that was a joke of the company (which I think he launched as a probe balloon: “if not many people complain , we even do it ”).

Now Malaysia Airlines He has taken this initiative that responds to the complaints of first-class passengers, who apparently could not fall asleep because of the presence of babies, which from now on can only travel in business and tourist class.

The company has been "eliminating" children for some time

In 2004 the company removed the spaces for first class cribs on airplanes Boeing 747 to be able to leave more spaces between seats. In addition they went from 18 to 12 seats, to facilitate that they recline completely.

Advertising

The intention now is to do the same with the Airbus A380 super jumbo, claiming that it is a logical measure because first-class passengers pay an extra to travel with the greatest comfort.

According to Tengku Azmil Zahruddin, director of the company:

We do not accept first class babies in the seat or subject by passengers. We will lose some money, but many people complained because they could not sleep.

It doesn't affect me

Because I neither travel by plane nor have money to pay me a first class ticket, but if so, I almost prefer it. They say that children learn by imitation, and a plane trip can be very short, but also very long. Imagine the things that my children could learn from people traveling in first class who complain about children and babies. Nothing good.

What a shame that big people don't remember that it was once small.
