Any aircraft with underseat storage ahead of Y bulkhead?
My recollection of AA aircraft is that there is usually a solid wall separating Y from the cabin in front, which is usually F or J but now might be PE. Are there any exceptions to this where the separation might just be a curtain, allowing the Y bulkhead occupant to store belongings under the seat in front? If so, which aircraft?
Thanks....

I remember on the old US Shuttle, seeing the cabin crew put their luggage behind the last row of F, so that the first row of E could not put their luggage there! But, maybe AA tells their cabin crew not to do that?

If I recall correctly, the old US Shuttle planes had a bulkhead with a cutout at the bottom, whereas the planes mentioned above don’t have any bulkhead, so the F seat in front must be used as foot space for the bulkhead Y passengers.

787-8 with new business class config (all forward facing biz seats) has under seat storage in first row of Y. No way to tell ahead of the flight if you are in this config
777-200 first row of Y also has a cut out in bulkhead.
same on 777-300

With that said, it's pretty much impossible to know what aircraft you'll be on at this point until it arrives at the gate, so it's a roll of the dice really.

The MD-80s used to have a solid wall between F and Y but if you were in 7B or 7D you could generally access the space under the aisle seats in the last row of F. Occasionally you would get an FA who would tell you no, but I used it all the time.
