contents We study the Euler class of smooth orientable infinite-type surface bundles with a section. For many such surfaces, we show that this cohomology class is nontrivial, and that the behavior of its powers depends on the genus and the type of ends. As an application, we extend Morita's non-lifting theorem to many infinite-type surfaces, including surfaces of infinite genus.
