Read off the airline’s own material, but some detail — often the row numbering — is our own careful work rather than theirs. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
This layout is derived rather than read row by row off an Ethiopian drawing that prints its row numbers, so treat the row numbers as our model of the cabin rather than as Ethiopian's own. Rows 5, 20 and 34 carry no seats: each is where Ethiopian's diagram shows a door pair with its galley and lavatory bank — between Business and Economy, and twice more in Economy. Ethiopian publishes seat totals rather than a row-numbering scheme for this aircraft, and does not say why any number would be left out.
Ethiopian Airlines publishes 393 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 388. Ethiopian states 393 seats: 28 Cloud Nine and 365 Economy. Cloud Nine divides exactly into four rows of seven and is drawn in full. 365 economy seats do not divide into whole rows of nine, and Ethiopian publishes no diagram showing which row is short or which seats it loses, so this map draws the 360 seats that fill whole rows and leaves five off.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Ethiopian Airlines' own page for this aircraft says it holds 393 seats — 28 Cloud Nine and 365 Economy. Cloud Nine is drawn in full, four rows of seven. The 365 Economy seats do not divide into whole rows of nine, and the five left over will not form a sensible short row on a 777 tail. Ethiopian does not say where they are, so we draw the 40 full rows, 360 Economy seats, and leave five off the map. The rows at which the Economy cabin splits into its three blocks around the two mid-cabin door pairs are our own structural estimate — the three blocks and both door pairs are visible on Ethiopian's drawing, but their exact row numbers are not printed on it.
Worked out from sourced data rather than read directly off a published map.
About this cabin
Ethiopian Airlines' 777-300ER in this configuration seats 388 (J/Y/Y/Y). The seat totals here are confirmed from published airline data; some row-by-row detail is our own careful estimate where the airline doesn't publish it. Ethiopian Airlines 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 | 3A | 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 | 3A | 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. |
| Nervous flyers | 22B | Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 4A | Cloud Nine (Business) | 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. |
| 4B | Cloud Nine (Business) | 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. |
| 4C | Cloud Nine (Business) | 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. |
| 4E | Cloud Nine (Business) | 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. |
| 33A | Economy | 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. |
| 33J | Economy | 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. |
| 47A | Economy | 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. |
| 47C | Economy | 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. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (43 seats: 4A, 4B, 4C, and 40 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 (20 seats: 1A, 1G, 2A, and 17 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 (40 seats: 1B, 1C, 1E, and 37 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, 1C, 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.
- Wing blocks the view (26 seats: 21A, 21J, 22A, and 23 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
