A-380 Seating Question

I just booked a flight for 2 from DFW-DXB (and return). I think this is Version 1 of the 380.

I've selected seats 66J, 66K. From the map, it appears there are only 2 seats there and we will have access to the window and isle. Is that correct?

Thank you

IAH-DXB is an ultra longhaul flight, so the crew take shifts for duty.

The seat letters are like this:
ABC DEFG HJK

66H exists in other ultra longhaul A380s. My guess is that on your flight, 66H might be a seat that is empty except for takeoff and landing when it is used by an off-duty FA.

I think it's more likely an IT issue.

I have a BKK-DXB leg booked later this year in Y (so not ULH) and the seat map shows 66H missing. I've noticed it on other seat maps over the last few years as well, and always just thought it was a bug.
