Passengers with baby asked to move across the aisle
While travelling a domestic flight in India we (my wife and I) were seated on seats 7E and 7F (3-3 configuration) and the rest of the seats in the row were occupied by a family who had a baby which was with someone seated in 7B
The air hostess said that the baby could not be present at the side and requested us to switch seats such that we were now seated on 7A and 7B, and the baby on 7E.
We did not get a chance to ask what the reason for this was. What could have been the reason for the baby not being permitted on one side of the aisle?
