Flying AUH-ORD in J on 77W and seat-map is odd...
End of the month I am flying AUH-ORD in business class. I have been assigned seat 8K, and the aircraft is a 77W. I looked up the seat-map via ExpertFlyer and it shows 40 seats in business class and no first class.
On any of the seat-map sites I can't find any 77W seat-map that has row 8 with a "K" seat, nor is there any 2-class 77W with 40 business-class seats.
Any ideas as to what is going on?

Cannot comment on expert flyer. Look at seat maps below:-
http://www.theeysource.com/b777-300e...8f40j282y.html
http://www.theeysource.com/b777-300erseatmap.html
Etihad have two configurations of B777ER birds with two class and three class cabins. The two class has 28 Biz seats and the three class, 40 Biz seats
My apologies too. I read one map incorrectly. There is no 8K seat in any of the B777 Pearl cabins. Only the odd rows have A and K window seats
Have never really bothered to study the maps as I have always had A or K seats in rows 7, 9, or 11
Your assigned 8K seat seems incorrect to me for this type of Etihad aircraft. Your seat could be the 8J. I’d check the E ticket etc
I would be aware of the centre E/F seats unless you have a companion.

I had a similar dilemma, I ended up attempting a dummy booking and looking at the seat configuration on EY site, turns out that other than 1-2-1 configuration the seat numbers dont line up with seatguru or theeysource. The seat numbers assigned by the EY travel desk lined up with the seat configuration that I saw with a dummy booking and I am going to trust the assigned seat.

I was on a 777 to Bangkok last week. 2 class with new seats. The window seats were even numbers, 6,8 and 10 A and K. not the usual odd numbers 5,7,9 and 11 a and K

It depends on whether your aircraft has the new (beige) or old (turquoise) business class seats. One has 5AK and the other 5CH with all other seats following suit.
Most of the seat map websites don't show this nuance between the two versions . The reservation seat map will show a default for the route which is subject to change depending on the actual aircraft on the day.

if there are 40 business seats it could be a 3 class aircraft being used, does the economy row finish at 45 or 55? Both economy aircraft start with row 15. so just check the last row in economy on the seat map.

There was some speculation that future delivered 2-class 77Ws would have a bigger J cabin but I don't know how true that is.
