I have seen the advice to grab 10A or 10F underseat storage quickly, which I will do. My one question is, how easy is it to get to the aisle? Do the people in middle and aisle seats need to stand up to let you out?
I have really mixed feelings about 12AF. True, there's infinite leg room, but to speak to your question, the pax in 12BC/DE or 11BC/DE
will need to get up to let you out. Exit rows on the 319 are nothing like the 320. Frankly, we gave up selecting seats on 11/12 when we fly this bird. It's nice to sit a deuce when with a partner, but I swear the pitch in row 11 is less than the rest of E+. 12AF are great seats, but that means one of us has to sit in 12BE which we find
very claustrophobic.
Honestly, I'd go with row 6. They have more pitch than any other Y seats, and I've had no problem accessing the aisle without needing others to get up. 6AF will be perfect for what you want to do, not to mention being a lot closer to the front of the cabin.
