With 31A winning over 31C as it has a pouch next to the seat where you can at least store an iPad Attachment 9064
Unfortunately for me the cabin is full and I got the last seat in 30F, middle of the middle section. Is it worth putting up with people passing you by to use the lavatory for just the leg room?

Nobody will squeeze through in front of you. Not enough space when the footrests are extended, which they obviously will be. Pax will just walk through the adjacent galley to get to the loo ^

I'd take 30F despite being in the way to the lav. 31AC, 30DEFG and 32HK are the only seats to have real legrests, and they make the ride quite a bit more bearable.

32H and K are great seats and have better than normal legroom.
31A and C have unlimited legroom but personally i don't like seats without a window.
30D-G have good legroom but you will get a lot of people stepping over your legs to get to the toilet. G in particular also gets a lot of light spill from the toilet.
Also be aware the bulkhead seats have less storage room, if you have headphones, wallets, passports etc you can run out of space quickly.

Be honest, I never liked the foot rest; the sprint tension on the extenders are way too high to be of any use unless you want to stay up and alert trying to keep it stretched the whole time.
That said, I like the front row since you don't have to wake your neighbor when in a middle or window seat.
32H is blocked for baby bassinet, but I've never had trouble just calling the MPO and requesting the seat. Of course they will tell you that it may be released for baby. It's up to you if you want to take this risk.
Technically that pouch is for both passengers.
