Old 777 business layout: aisle access
The KE flight from AMS to ICN is a 777 with the old type of business class, in 2-3-2 formation. I think KE calls this Prestige class.
I am travelling as a single passenger. Does this formation allow easy access to the aisle?
If I am allocated a middle seat, I am worried about having to step over sleeping passengers.

Pick an aisle seat in advance. Most of the time the middle seat between the 3 seats in the middle are empty if there are not enough J passengers. Old Prestige class seats go all the way to the seat back in front, so window seats and the middle seats are blocked in when the aisle seats are extended.

Thanks for your reply.
I will try to pick an aisle seat when I book the flight. But there is always a chance that I will be stuck in the middle seat for a 12 hr flight. Not ideal.

I may be in luck. SeatGuru reports KE926 AMS-ICN as using a 777-200, with 2-3-2 Prestige layout.
FlightAware report this route as using an A330-200, with a 2-2-2 Prestige layout. That would be slightly less cramped, at least.

KE changes aircraft all the time. Just because it's an A332 at the moment (Presumably what FlightAware is reporting.) doesn't mean it won't be a 772 on the date you travel. Check the KE website for the date you'll be traveling, and even then, it might change if it's more than a couple of months from now.
