If you are in a window or middle seat you are going to be stepping over your seat mate to get to the aisle.
Well, things haven't changed since they updated the 747s some time ago.
I was wondering if it's possible to slip behind 15K (I changed to this seat) and access the emergency exit space. Since there is the storage box then there must be a gap of 20-30 cm (or whatever the width of the storage box might be) between the left side of the seat pod and the fuselage? Seems more likely than 9A at least.
I haven't been upper deck for years. I don't fly 747s frequently and since reading about this I have avoided it. Only once a on a relatively short NRT-BKK flight in 2009 before I was aware of the issue.
