However, you can't keep a bag in front of you at 1A/F during takeoff and landing. When in row 1, my bag spends as much time as it's allowed on the floor in front of me, the only real exception being redeyes where I'm usually out cold and don't need it. When in 1C/D I do try to keep it as out of the way as possible though - I don't want the crew or bathroom users to trip on it.
