Etihad Airways Boeing 777-300ER (3-class, 336 seats)
336 seats: 19 good, 29 mixed, 26 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (First): first at the very front: four seats a row, two rows.
- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 5, seat A (Business): business window seat in the small front section of four rows.
- Row 9, seat A (Business): business window seat in the middle of the larger section, away from galleys and toilets.
Seats to avoid
- Row 6, seats C, D, G and H (Business): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 17, seat D (Economy): in front of the toilets in the middle, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 17, seats E, F and G (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 30, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy): backs onto a toilet, galley or wall as Etihad draws it, so recline is likely limited
