Just in the first lounge awaiting my flight and my name was called. Etihad moved me up to the first class seats! I'm guessing nobody went for the upgrade so they just moved some passengers up, I've been told it will be the usual business class service, but still, what a result!

Does anyone know how to access the F cabin on these planes? I have a J booking on AUH-SYD in a few days; they aren't selling F - can't request an upgrade but the seat map doesn't show the F seats available for selection either.

Lol they ran it as an F cabin sadly, was fully booked but some no shows meant they offered me an upgrade for close to 90K miles, I politely declined
Good that I did, the aircraft was held for at least 40 mins for pushback as a Local lady was late arriving with her child who had two nannies and the child screamed most of the way, thankfully as I was in 5D rather than 2K I had at least some sound protection - but the fact we were held and then late into London so 200 odd people held for a self important Lady who couldn't be bothered to turn up on time, then we were held for her and her entourage to come through for VIP service at LHR

5E/5F are good. If you're in a couple, which I assume you are, then middle seats as you have selected are perfect. The only q I have is do you know where the bassinets are? I'm on 787s early next year and I can see that the bassinets are at the back of the J cabin, so I've selected near the front of that cabin. I can't remember where they are on the 77W (have a feeling it's the front).

Just received notification that my EY17 to LHR in just over two weeks has changed to a 2-class 77W.
I'm really not keen on the old old seats but the other flight departing around the same time is booked solid, so I suspect I'll have to just grin and bear it.
