Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…	Pick	Why
Travelling solo	7A	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	7D	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.
Trying to sleep	7A	A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you.

Seat map

Business Studio

Business Studio spans rows 5–12 in a 1-2-1 layout. Worth avoiding: 5D, 5G, 6D, 6G — next to galley.

Economy Smart Seat

Economy Smart Seat spans rows 15–46 in a 3-3 layout. Worth avoiding: 46D, 46G, 46E, 30C — seat doesn't recline.

Row 45 loses B and J rather than its window seats: Etihad's drawing places seats squarely under the A and C columns with a gap between them, and the same under H and K. Etihad does not say what stands in the two gaps.

Row 46 is 46D, 46E and 46G alone — the last row, centre block only. Etihad's drawing does not label what stands outboard of it.

Seats to avoid

Seat	Cabin	Why to avoid it
5D	Business Studio	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
5G	Business Studio	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
6D	Business Studio	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
6G	Business Studio	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
46D	Economy Smart Seat	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.
46G	Economy Smart Seat	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.
46E	Economy Smart Seat	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.
30C	Economy Smart Seat	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 (12 seats: 30A, 30B, 30C, and 9 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 (12 seats: 5C, 5K, 6A, and 9 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 (22 seats: 5D, 5G, 6D, and 19 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 (13 seats: 5C, 5D, 5G, and 10 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.
