I have over 200 flights in the buses over the last 3 years and row 1 is my favorite row. I am 6'0 and have no problems with leg space.

Row 1 is great for window travel also. Many times I pick the window over the aisle. Getting in and out is easy for me since I am not overweight.

I just like not having a seat in front of me reclining and the arm tray is handy for placing my drinks ans still be able to get in/out of my seat. Otherwise, rows 2,3, or 4 aisle is just fine but being in 2 gets you a drink sooner than being on 4 .

I will not trade a row 1 seat with anyone in 2, 3 or 4 unless they have an aisle to trade. I have traded row 2 or 3 aisle for row 1 window, no problem.
