Really, Sprots? Granted, this is one of those obscure questions where nobody knows what Malaysia's first class policies were (at least back in last September), but isn't one of these choices far better known for causing noise disturbances on flights than the others?

I couldn't make any sense out of it, so I was sure it was a trick question. Sure, infants are loud, poor things, their little ears hurting from the compression/decompression, but I couldn't see how banning something that loud from one section saves anything. In any airplane I've seen, the sections are separated by a flimsy accordion door or just a curtain. Maybe it's different in Malaysia.

I've been on planes where babies have screamed for the entire flight-notably on a transatlantic run from London to Detroit-with a stop in Toronto, which is where the baby and it's family deplaned. It doesn't matter what section the baby is in-the noise goes everywhere, since a plane is a small, enclosed space and you can't get away from it.

Thank goodness for earphones!
