Korean Air - Can I bring this inflatable stool and use it on plane - USA/Philippines

[DELTAFOXTROT 96]

I have secured a seat on Korean Air from Dallas to Icheon and I don't have a seat in from of me, it's not bulkhead, but it aisle seat. I have same seat coming back to USA from Philippines.

 

Do you think Korean Air would cry about this if I inflated it after we got in air and after they feed you and everyone crashes out and sleep?

Seat Map Chart - Example 40G would be my seat.  Edit: I have same seat both going to Philippines and coming back home to USA.

You don't have a seat infront of you, but in that seat, once in air you will have constant stream of people walking past you to access the toilet, staff attending to people etc. 

 

Infront of you is technically the aisle, and it is generally stated that aisles cannot be obstructed at any point. Even if other passengers don't take issue with your stool, then staff might.

I agree.  That space is vacant for a reason, else they would have stuffed another seat there.  I wouldn't take the chance of obstructing the aisle.

I have had this seat probably 12 different times, only time busy is loading and unloading of the plane.  How the game works, is once you get up in the air, they feed you asap and turn out lights to let everyone sleep.  In front of me isn't the aisle.

 

I am 6'3" and 235lbs so I stretch out when I fly. You don't have constant stream, only time I see it busy in air is once you get in air and captian says remove seatbelt then some do go to restroom, ditto for landing.

 

Thus why I said once we are up in the air and everyone is settled in.

Then why ask the question if you already have your answer?

I have never taken a blow up foot stool, I wonder if people are gonna start crying, the Flight Attendants, Seems like once I get non US carriers I get much better and understanding Flight Attendants

where are the emergency exits as this is the important part?

 

and AI says they are not allowed for safety reasons and they could disturb other passengers 

 

Larger jets for Korean air have reclining seats in business class

From diagram I posted emergency exit are 2 rows in front of me.

 

I am too tall for business class if they have reclining seats, I have done the Korean Air Prestige in the past where your seat turns into a bed and you can lay down, but that would run about $10 to $12K per passenger round trip, I can make 7 round trip flight for that price and get this choice seat instead, I only will fly that long of distance if I can get this seat or something similar with leg room.

FAQ of Korean Air:

 

Probably the biggest issue they will have with it is it is an unsecured large item. Turbulence starts bouncing the plane around and it could end up somewhere other than the place it is supposed to be or if someone in your aisle needs to get out the floor is obstructed. Just FYI, any area without a bulkhead or a seat in front of it is considered an aisle. That looks like a 787 so where that seat is you are going to have the middle galley area. Those areas on the 787 are intentionally wider but it is still considered aisle area and anything blocking that would not be allowed. If this is a necessity I'd recommend one of the seats with the bulkhead in front of it although those seats are usually reserved for families with infants so they can use the bassinets.

 

Worst case it being inflatable, bring it, ask. If they say no well then there you go.

Normally the Asian flight crew are pretty cool and easy to work with. I didn't book bulkhead since this seat has more room (I think) I try to book early so I can find these seat. And now my wife has found these sweet stools.  She is leaving a few days before me on same flight and she got same seats, She actually purchased these inflatable feet rest, and now after trying them out at home seem like a winner if I can actually use them.
