The pocket may be defined in one of the surfaces of a tray table and have a pocket surface that is recessed in the tray table relative to the second surface. The control panel may be embedded in one of the surfaces of a tray table and may control at least one piece of cabin equipment associated with a passenger seat having the tray table.
