737-800 row 15 missing seat question

On the 737-800 I'm taking from IND to LAS, seat row 15 only has two seats on each side of the aisle, whereas the other rows have three. The window seats are missing in row 15.

If you are in a window seat in row 16, immediately behind the missing seat, will the flight attendants let you place a carry-on item on the floor in that blank floor space where the seat is missing? (I mean a small personal carry-on item that you would normally place under the seat in front of you.)

If I recall correctly your personal item has to go under the far seat (row 14) for take off and landing, it cannot be in the open space (potentially blocking the exit route). (But the tradeoff is the infinite legroom!)

Ah.. I hadn't thought about row 14. That makes sense. Thanks.

You could put it in front of the adjacent middle seat if no one sits there. I did it on a -700 before for 2 segments in a row!

Thanks. Maybe I'll get lucky and the middle seat will be empty. Actually my chances probably aren't good for getting row 16 anyway.

The purpose of stowing stuff is to prevent (or reduce the probability) of it flying around the cabin. Something just laying in an open spot is the same as it sitting in the aisle - it's not secured.

Not to mention that this space specifically is an exit pathway, so it does need to go all the way under 14A/F
