787 Seat Question

Hey there,

My friend and I are on a 787 from AUH-IAD in a month. We are in seats 37A and 37C...but according to seat maps online, those seats don't exist. Does anyone have any intel on these seats? Is there a middle seat?

Thanks!

Hmm... You are correct, Etihad only shows 37 DEF -- http://www.etihad.com/Documents/Expe...-seatmap-1.jpg

Weird.

Are you sure it is the 787 and not the a346?

Positive! The 340 switches to a dreamliner 4 days before our flight.

37AC do exist. They're the back row of economy with no middle 'B' seat.

Generally, the last row is considered less desirable due to limited recline and proximity to the toilets. However, I haven't flown on EY's 787 yet so have no personal experience.

Thanks! Any idea why they dont show up on the seat map? It's only my friend and I traveling, so we were just going for the no middle seat.

What aircraft does it say it is in Manage My Booking (MMB)? If it still has the old aircraft then it would still show the old aircraft seat maps. Last time I flew on Qatar they changed the aircraft type in MMB about a couple weeks before our departure, that was the time we could reselect seats.

Well, let me correct myself. On the seat map when we go to book a flight, they exist, but when we look at the official seat map on the site, they aren't there. In MMB, it says 789, but we can't change our seats through MMB.

The seat map on the Etihad website is wrong. If you count the economy seats there are 195 but even their own website says there are 199 economy seats on the previous page.

37 AC/HK are the missing 4 seats.
