I'm trying to find a picture of the 777 J mini cabin (rows 9/10/11) ... I know there have been pictures posted before, but I can't find any now (at least, not of the current seats).
Specifically I'm trying to tell if the bulkhead seat in the mini cabin (9A) has a full set of windows ... does anyone know/recall/have pictures?

Oh wait, the seat maps on AC website show window locations pretty accurately for 777s.

I thought that too, I definitely recall seeing a seatmap with an indication where the windows were ... but I did check that before I posted, and the seatmaps I see now don't seem to have window locations showing. I'm wondering if the old maps are still online somewhere ... can you post a URL?

I was looking for my upcoming 772 flight.
I can't seem to find it on the fleet info page, nor on the seat preview page for booking.

1K is a pretty standard J seat, there is no missing window or anything. Can't think of any cons. As for pros, it is the first row, so you will be served first, and if they use the front door, you can deplane quickly but that's only gonna save you 30 seconds or so. Personally I like that no one sits in front of me.

Looks like AC updated its seat map and the new version doesn't show windows. But thanks to the way back machine:

The key pro of 1A/K for me (and I think/hope this also applies to 9A/K) is that with no seat in front of you, your feet are just in the open, and not in a box. This makes a huge difference to me, as it means I can easily turn over while I'm lying down - the other seats, with your feet in a box, are much more restrictive.
For my upcoming flights on 77L's, I just changed my seats to 1A/K.

One downside with 1A/K is that the overhead bins above are usually pre occupied with things like head phones, amenity kits, etc, which means there is pretty much no bin space for row 1.
There was one time I boarded somewhat late and i had to put my stuff above row 4.
