Yes, it is. Also, if you are ever seated in row 8 or 9, you see the most interesting looks of amazement from people who are used to flying 737's and A319/320's. They get on board, sort of look left then right, then get their bearings before proceeding forth. Also, some people with assignments for rows 8,9, or 10 just take off down the aisle only to return somewhat perplexed when they realize that first row wasn't no. 1. In short, they act like I did when I finally got aboard an A380 in April.
