At least offering a real good quality seat to AUH is a very welcome choice now for my flights towards asia on AB/EY.
just booked TXL-AUH feeder. kepping in mind its a 1-2-1 config, it seems like the new config is already in use, as the seat next to mine is blocked right after booking. I booked 1A, immediatly 1C was blocked as well. Maybe they dont have the seat map of the new config?
