bulkhead seat

Wall-facing airplane seat

A bulkhead seat is an airplane seat directly behind a partition wall that separates cabin sections—first class from economy, or the galley from passenger rows.

These seats offer extra legroom since there's no seat in front, but often lack under-seat storage: I always request a bulkhead seat on long flights.
