We just flew on Emirates PE in row 34 as a couple. No way could my husband in the window get out without me moving if the people in row 33 were reclined, which of course they were.

We are flying again next year and considering row 33, so that no-one can recline in front of us, but I am worried about storage. Obviously on take-off and landing you can't have your handbag with you, but it also seems like the overhead bins are much smaller. I hate the though of my valuables being rows away from me.

Has anyone actually flown in row 33 who can say what it is like please? Can you have an iPad with you on take off and landing, as that is where I keep my books?
