Best Y Seats on 777-200LR
Booked a round-trip DFW-AUH-DFW for the end of October. Does anyone have any advice on what seats are best on 777-200LR? SeatGuru doesn't have those seat maps yet and don't see any trip reports yet.
Etihad bought the planes from Air India but reconfigured them so can't use old seat maps.
Thank you!

I'm doing DFW-AUH-DFW in May and ExpertFlyer has the seat map. Most of the Y cabin is 3-4-3 except for rows 31-35 which are 2-4-2. Exit row is row 22 but I think they charge extra for that. Row 20 is in a 3-4-0 config and row 21 is in a 2-0-0 config but the seat map doesn't show what's there in place of seats.
I was thinking about doing row 21 since there are only 2 of us flying but if anybody has flown on this plane before, let us know if these are good seats.

there were couple of videos on youtube of traveller showing interior of his flight (I believe it was from AUH to LAX...not sure though) which he said was this reconfigured 777-200LR. If you slow down/pause certain parts in the video, you can get idea about which seat is exit row, near lavatory or near crew station. I did that to confirm seat assignments for my family's DFW flight.
Here is the video: http://youtu.be/05tgFnd_T3Q

P.S. Completely not impressed by the type of food they served on that AUH-LAX flight!

According to video, there are 2 cabins for Economy class. Could anyone catch how many rows for the first cabin on the video? Also, it seem like the lavatory is btwn economy cabin 1 and 2 and only on the left side ( side where the guy sits). Can anyone confirm?
