OPebble, 4K on your flight didn't exist, i.e. it wasn't a seat, and
Can I help you is right in saying that seats aren't blocked off for crew rest. On your flight the space where 4K would have been was occupied by a sort of wardrobe-looking thing which is a purpose-built crew rest area.
There are 3 configurations of 4-class 777:
- 13 F: 3 rows of 4 (ie window seat A, the two middle seats DF?, and window seat K), plus seat 4A (and wardrobe-type crew rest where 4K would otherwise be)
- 14 F: 3 rows of 4, plus seat 4A and 4K
- 17 F: 4 rows of 4, plus seat 5A (not sure what there is where 5K would otherwise be)
