New 777 seat layout

Hi,


Has anyone flown on the new (at least that I am aware) layout of the Boeing 777 of Etihad? They have 40 J seats and 340 economy class seats. Just seen it on their website link here, but there is no seat plan on the website. Seems like there are now 3 types of B777 that Etihad operates.

Flew on the 777 twice earlier this year and was confused when the window seat I had booked 7K was changed to window 6K. Row 7 had aisle seats. I could not find as seat plan showing this layout anywhere. Anybody managed to find one?

What's your question about?
I think I flew in such a config last trip, so what?
I see I have window seat 6A on next flight AUH-BKK 31st May, have 40 J seats.
Flew BKK-AUH on window seat 07A, old config.
I vaguely remember the 40 seat config to have more space around you.
I check my seat on expertflyer.com.

Is there one big J section and 3 economy sections? Or is there a mini cabin in either classes? Just saw that there is a new layout and was curious as I have upcoming flights and would like to take advantage of the best seats on a layout I am not familiar with (depending I actually will be travelling on these particular planes)

Ok, can answer my own questions...and for anyone that might be interested. I am not sure about the seating numbers for Business class and whether row 6 or 7 A&K has the window seats, but you have 7 rows of business class between the 1st and 2nd door. There is then an additional 3 rows of business class behind this with about 7 rows economy to the next exit door. The back of the plane (2 economy sections) is the same as the current 412 seat layout in economy.

So in effect 3 business class rows has replaced 5 economy rows in the second section behind the second door.

I am an Etihad newcomer and got completely confused about their seat configuration ; main reason being that they show different versions on their seatmaps on the website and within their booking procedure . If you want to be sure try a dummy booking and you see the full truth . 7A is a window seat followed by 9A which has no direct window .
