Your lucky you noticed it at least a few days in advance and have the opportunity to select other seats.
I would select Row 1 and risk the bassinet not being required. Alternatively, could you split your party in two and choose two smaller groups of seats?
So, the worst decision, would be to keep the row 7? are there any known cases of having the booking show a 2 class 77w but then changing to a normal 3 class 77w?? the only seats available are 5 in row 1, and 2 in row 5ish.. so i guess when i select the row 1, only 2 seats will remain in J class..
EDIT:
According to FlightRadar, the planes that have been flying this route (HKT-DXB) for the past days, are 3 class 77w's.... weird..
