Hi, I'm considering flying BKK-AUH on Etihad on the B777-300ER (77W).
I see that they have 5 of them in their fleet. Are they all "new product" with the flat bed seats? I'd like to avoid traditional business class seats if at all possible.
Thanks!
Yes, all the B777's have the new product. Also, no First Class which makes the experience a little better in J.

Thanks - are the J seats on the 77W the same as the 346 and 345 seats?
I don't know about the 345 or 346, but they looked exactly the same as the A330 that we took from AUH-CDG (feels like more space in the 777W however). I think the product is pretty consistent overall as compared to say Emirates. I felt the service was better on the 777 as all the premium crew were attending to the J cabin. My J seat did not work so they had to manually place it in the flat position. The CSD was excellent and 25K miles were deposited into my acct within 24hrs with a nice apology email. I've never received compensation over a problem that quickly before.
