Not yet confirmed against a primary source. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Air New Zealand's own seat map does not use row 8, rows 13 to 22, or rows 31 to 33 on this aircraft. Business Premier is drawn in two blocks either side of the missing row 8; Premium Economy then starts fresh at row 23 and Economy starts fresh at row 34, beside the mid-cabin doors. Air New Zealand does not say why the numbers in between are left out; that reading is ours, from its own drawing.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Every row number, seat letter, exit row and bassinet position on this page is read off Air New Zealand's own published 777-300ER seat map. Three things worth knowing before you pick. Air New Zealand marks exactly one exit row on this aircraft — row 34, seats A, B, J and K — and nothing else, so this page shows one exit and does not guess at the rest. Its Economy pitch varies a lot by row on this aeroplane, from 31 inches at the back to 35 inches in the first few rows behind the Premium Economy cabin, with the window blocks usually getting more than the centre block in the same row; the 31 inches shown is the floor of Air New Zealand's own published "31 - 35 inch" range, not the figure for every seat. And row 30 — the last row of Premium Economy, which holds just two seats — is drawn here in the wrong place. Air New Zealand's own map puts 30D and 30G on the middle two positions of the four-across centre block, boxed in with an empty position between each of them and the aisle. This map draws them on the outer two positions instead, hard against the aisle, because a seat here can only be drawn in the column that carries its letter and D and G are the outer two columns of a D, E, F, G block. The seat numbers are Air New Zealand's and are right: ask for 30D or 30G. Do not read either of them as an aisle seat — on Air New Zealand's drawing they are not.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Air New Zealand's 777-300ER in this configuration seats 342 (J/J/W/W/W/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Air New Zealand flies only this one cabin layout on the 777-300ER — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 2A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 2B | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 34A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |
Seat map
Business Premier
Business Premier spans rows 1–7 and 9–12 in a 1-2-1 layout.
Premium Economy
Premium Economy spans rows 23–30 in a 2-4-2 layout, 41in pitch.
Row 29 is 29D, 29E, 29F and 29G alone — the centre block at the back of Premium Economy. Air New Zealand's own map draws no seats either side of it and does not say what is there.
Row 30 is the last row of Premium Economy and holds just two seats, which Air New Zealand letters D and G. Nothing else is drawn in the row and Air New Zealand does not say what occupies the rest of it. Air New Zealand draws those two seats on the middle two positions of the four-across centre block; this map can only draw a seat in the column that carries its letter, so 30D and 30G appear one position further out, next to the aisles. Neither is an aisle seat on Air New Zealand's own drawing.
Economy
Economy spans rows 34–60 in a 2-2 layout, 31in pitch.
Row 35 has no C and no H — the two aisle seats — on Air New Zealand's own map. It is 35A and 35B, then 35D to 35G, then 35J and 35K. Air New Zealand does not say what stands in the two missing positions.
Row 47 is the centre block alone on Air New Zealand's own map, with nothing drawn either side of it and no explanation given.
Rows 57, 58 and 59 have no C and no H — the two aisle seats — on Air New Zealand's own map. Air New Zealand does not say what stands in those positions.
Row 60 is the last row of the aeroplane and Air New Zealand draws it as the centre block alone, with nothing either side of it and no explanation given.

Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (6 seats: 30D, 30G, 60D, and 3 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- Often cold or draughty (8 seats: 1A, 1K, 23A, and 5 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- High foot traffic (6 seats: 34B, 34J, 35B, and 3 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (16 seats: 1A, 1B, 1J, and 13 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
