Airline Moves Babies to the Back of the Plane

It’s baby apartheid, and it could be your best shot at getting some peace and quiet on an 8-hour red eye. Starting on Friday, AsiaAirlines is introducing seating that will keep passengers under the age of 12 away from older, baby-phobic passengers. It’s practically free, too.

Fuck yeah!  Look, I like you and all but your baby is an asshole.  

Most airlines do this anyway. Unless you’re buying a first class tickets (WHAT! BABIES GET DA FUQ OUTTA FIRST CLASS!), the airline will seat you near the toilets if you’re buying a child’s ticket or check in with an infant. 

I really like the idea of the “quiet zone” though - like, library rules. Don’t talk to me, stupid sales man in the middle seat! Just pretend to sleep like everybody else.
