• a seat which comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the first and second seat sections each have a first surface provided for use as a seat area and a second surface opposite the first surface, and wherein the second seat section is pivotable relative to the first seat section between a first operational position, in which the first surfaces of the first and second seat sections form a usable total seat area, and a second operational position, in which the second seat section is folded relative to the first seat section in the direction towards the backrest,
• wherein:
• there is attached to the second seat section a holder which is movable relative to the second surface of the second seat section between a first operational position, in which the holder extends substantially parallel to the second surface of the second seat section, and a second operational position, in which the holder extends at an angle in a range of from 60° to 120° relative to the second surface of the second seat section,
• the holder is biased by a bias force towards its first operational position and is movable by a user against said bias force to its second operational position,
• the holder is positionable in a space-saving manner in its first operational position substantially parallel to the second surface of the second seat section independent of whether the second seat section is located in its first operational position or its second operational position,
• when the holder is not required for securing a stowed piece of luggage, the holder is located in its first operational position parallel to the second surface of the second seat section in a space-saving manner independent of whether the second seat section is located in its first operational position or its second operational position, and
• when a piece of luggage is stowed beneath the seat and the second seat section is in its first operational position, the holder is located in its second operational position to secure the piece of luggage from slipping out of position beneath the seat.
