Other Asian, Australian and South Pacific Frequent Flyer Programs - Air Pacific 747-400 Seating?

Per SeatGuru and the Air Pacific seatmap for the 747-400, row 30A/B/C is a normal row, albeit at the back of the section.

However, when speaking with customer service, I was told that row 30A/B/C is actually its own, small, walled-off section.

Does anyone know what the actual configuration is?

Thanks.

Why would you want to sit that close upfront anyway? The front of the plane is crowded. I prefer rows after 57 and usually get a whole row of 4 seats to myself as the tail section is quite often empty.
