77W Row 8 missing a window?

First time flying KE coming up, and I have four 77W flights. The seat map shows a small front cabin, but the comment on Seatguru mentions a missing window at 8A/K. I wondered if this makes much of a difference in (say) 8D.

I’m not a fan of 3-across business but want direct aisle access and hopefully no one climbing over me. As the seat maps are seemingly wide open at the moment have selected middle aisle seats and crossing fingers. Flights are AKL-LHR return.

You won't have much of a view from a D seat anyway.

I can check on my next KE flight, although this might be after your trip (depending on dates).

Saw some photos of the cabin, and it seems the middle row 8 seats are actually forward of the window pair, so there is a view. But yes, middle won’t see much anyway.

Seats 8DEF have a view out one window each side (just behind row 7). It isn't a great view, apart from near landing you get to see sky or blinds are down.

Thanks. The flight is looking pretty empty so I might grab a window seat anyway. Reasonable chance of an empty seat next me.
