77D Variant?
This is a 77D seat map provided by CX. It's my coming flight for HKG-LAX.
I find that it's a bit weird that Row 67 is separated behind the divider. Is it true?
And, is it the one that might be prepared for Y+? Since the Row 30 - 32 is missing Row HJK.

I've flown on this configuration recently. At least on the planes I was on, there is no divider before row 67, and there also isn't that divider after row 32.
I couldn't figure out why they moved the lavs. At first I thought the one before 33HJK would be for the separate Y+ cabin when that comes along, but they'd need to free up even more space to clear a path for pax on the ABC side to get over to it. Maybe it's as simple as J pax complained about the noise when the Y lavs were in front of 30DEG (and right behind the last row of J)?

The missing 30-32HJK indicates this is retrofitted from 77A

I have a question about this layout. Do the toilets at the front that replaces row 31/32 on the right side, have their doors face across into the cabin?
I ask because I am booked for this layout and Im sat in 32A. Im wondering, if when people use the toilet, the door and therefore light, will shine in my face. Has anyone had experience , is there a curtain?

This is only true for the old 77A and newly-delivered 77D. No such problem on the retrofitted 77D.
