Rows in J on 77D / 77G / 77H that are missing window
Does anyone have a list of the rows on 77D in J class where the windows are missing? Trying to pick seats for a flight next week and can't remember which. I've currently booked 25A, I think I remember 25 and 26having their full set of windows. I recall somewhere around 23/24 a window or two being missing, along with another farther up the cabin. Mini-cabin is full. Anybody know?

Husband ticketed his 3 weeks ago and 11K was available. I have my reservation on hold now but all window seats in mini cabin are taken. I picked 16K being it is the first row of the main J cabin so easier to walk up to mini cabin.
But now seatexpert says 16A and 16K have no window?
why riw19 and 20 have more space?
I changed my seat to 19K and hope it would not be a mistake.

Have you actually sat in 16K on the 77D? Our last flight on the 77D J was in the mini cabin and I did not pay attention on the main cabin.
Seatexpert said 16K does not have window. I could not find any info by doing a google search.

Thanks for that - I make a mental note each time upon boarding, and then promptly forget when I get off the plane. Each time I'm selecting a seat in the main dorm room in J I go through the same question (I much prefer the window seats, particularly on 77D). I'm coming back from JFK in a few days I'll try to remember to post. If I recall correctly, there are two places missing windows: the one in row 21 as you mention, and another somewhere else.

We always choose the mini cabin but this time I haven't decided to go until 10 days ago - actually am lucky to still be able to find award seat on the same flight my husband is on (he ticketed his first week of December) but all the window seats in mini cabin are already taken. The middle seats of row 12 are still available but neither of us want to sit there.

15A, 16K, 21A/K and 24A/K
To follow up, on 77H (and formerly 77D) in J class: (Fyi most J seats which normally have 2 windows)
*15A is missing both windows (it only just a sliver of one that mainly occupies 16A's seat), due to the bulkhead
*16K has one full window (instead of two) positioned near the pax's seat, due to the bulkhead
*21A/K has one full window, missing the window nearest the pax's head
24A/K has one full window, missing the window nearest the pax's feet
