777 Two seat config confusion
My partner and I are flying TK LHR-IST in March. On the outbound leg, I've chosen 26A and 26B which appears to be just two seats rather than 3 on the usual 777 seat map. I can't seem to find a seat map elsewhere that reflects this. Is this a mistake on the system or is there just two seats on A/B and J/K on this aircraft much like on row 55 and 56?

I've seen before that seats blocked for resting or deadheading crew simply don't show up on the online seat maps. In my case it was a A330 and I was wondering why the last row of J had a 2-2-1 config. Turns out the "missing" seat was physically present but not for passenger use.
May be something similar here.

After doing some digging, it appears the 77K note on the seat map refers to the 3 777's that TK have taken from Kenya Airways. See here:

That might explain the odd seat map?
