Then I quickly checked Etihad, in case I can just change plan and fly via AUH instead - only to find that Etihad's 787 is even 2-4-2 (with half facing backwards). Wasn't expecting this from the 2 awards-winning airlines, to be honest
EY is all-aisle access, the 2-4-2 is mis-leading, it's more like 1-2-1 but two rows staggered so they overlap a little.
EK is 2-3-2, so you have 6 middle seats in J out of 42, do you think your options on seat selection will be that slim that you can't get a Window or Aisle? It's not as big of a deal as some people like to make it, IMHO
