I'm now torn - window seat and side bins, but having to climb over someone, or no window but more privacy and not having to climb over someone.
What would you do?
I loved 53A on an overnight long haul. With the screens up it is very private. There's a little bit of shelf space for phone and water bottle in addition to the laptop-tray. Plus the footstool is placed a bit further back making the bed feel longer.
However if you like to travel with bags and belongings stashed around your seat then I can see the window bins are a benefit. I did a window and stepped over an aisle sleep occupant. It wasn't actually that difficult to do!
