I’m booked RT BOS-AUH on EY8 and EY7. I’m trying to determine the “best” seats for my wife and I. The Etihad seat map seems to indicate that there’s no first class but business class in rows 5 - 12. I’ve also seen some things that say every other seat faces backwards.

Has anyone flown these flights recently that can confirm, and make seat recommendations? Right now we’re in 7D and 7G.
