Row 3 or Row 10
Trying to find an opinion if people prefer the row 3 bulkhead or row 10 exit row seat. i take the aisle if that makes a difference. Is exit a bit roomier feeling?

Some things to take into consideration:
- Row 3 is a bulkhead and you will have to stow all your items (including laptops) in overhead bin. Row 10 will allow you to stow items under the seat in front of you
- Row 10 is in the middle of the plane and tends to get very hot
- Kids are not allowed in Row 10, since it's an exit row, so you'll possibly end up with babies and kids in Row 3 with you
- Row 10 feels more crowded to me - I prefer the layout of Row 3 because it feels more private

The only downside to Row 3 is the distance to the lavs (well, the ones you can use). Overhead space is typically not an issue if you board when you are first permitted.
