Correct. But on day flights the front Y cabin is quite nice and open if you are sitting in the first 3 or 4 rows. The central row of seats is taken over by the stairs to the upper deck.
The only issue as I mentioned in the earlier post is if you have a hard shell case. The storage space is small for the first row (exit) and progressively increases as you go backwards.
It only gets to 'normal' sizes by the 4th row from memory.
Small rucksacks/soft luggage are fine but a standard EK max size cabin bag will not fit in the first 2 rows
