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.
I am doing this route on the 14 th. BOS - AUH.
There is no FC on the flights from BOS.
The 789 without FC has 2 configurations. One is the one you mention which has alternate back facing seats. The other one is the new Colins Aerospace Elements suites. These are all front facing reverse herringbone .
The flight from BOS has this new configuration from what I can tell.
Pull up the seat map on Etihad and then on Aerolopa. Look at position of the bathroom on both and you will get your answer as to which config you will be flying.
