B772 have the Pilot crew rest in the closet front left behind the flight deck. Depending on the flight length, a single First Class seat is blocked for crew use, usually 1A.

B773 is the only aircraft with proper bunks and seats compliant so none of the First Class seats are blocked.

Thank you for explaining the current overhead crew rest (OHCR) situation with respect to blocking a single Polaris seat on the B787 (over 12 hours), B772 (long flights), but not the B773.
