Only one F and one J lavatory on the 772LR?

Flying EY 183 soon and was looking at the seat map on Seatguru and noticed there's only one lavatory each in F and J for 8 and 40 pax respectively:

http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Eti..._777-200LR.php
  1. Is Seatguru correct or wrong (EY's site doesn't list a seatmap for the 772LR)?
  2. If it is correct, how does this work for ULH flights? A 40:1 pax:lav ratio is super high for any J cabin, much less for ULH flights.

For comparison purposes the J pax:lav ratio for other EY widebodys:
  • 77L: 40:1
  • 77W: 20:1
  • A388: 17.5:1
  • A333: 16:1
  • 789: 14:1
  • A332: 11:1

And In the 777W have I seen that they put a rope/curtain I between the toilet in front of row 15. Two of those re were meant to be for J pax. However many Y pax seem to not understand or don't care about it.

So there are two F lavs then, but still just one J lav?

Was reading this EY 77L trip report: http://www.aussieflyer.net/2015/07/e...class-los.html

"They were quite friendly throughout however I found the lavatories were not kept tidy at all... and at times they were in a disgraceful state. I also noticed that I regularly had to wait for a lavatory to become available so perhaps the ratio of seats to toilets isn't great.... either that or I was on a flight full of people with weak bladders."

Maybe there really is only one J lav?

It does say lavatories (plural). I suspect there will be one on each side. Seatguru is often incorrect or out of date.

Are you travelling on this aircraft type in the near future?

There are 2 washrooms in J on the 77L. These are located aft of door 2 on both the left and right hand side.

I'm the author of that review. Fairly certain there was 2.
