Before choosing a seat
Is this your Etihad Airways configuration?

- Configuration label: 9F / 70J / 415Y
- 494 seats total
- Cabin split: 9F · 70J · 415Y
- Seat selector spans rows 1–83
- First Apartment / The Residence: 2-2 across rows 1, 2, 3–4, 5
- Business Studio: 2-4-2 across rows 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
