IMO Row 1 on the A333 is over-rated. I've flown it twice; once back in the day on PIT-FRA route and again later to FRA out of PHL (and actually a 3rd time on PHL-SJU). Yes, it is a slightly better seat for sleeping but given the service is the same as the rest of the Envoy cabin I would never pay $500 to get it. If you can snag it with status or because the cabin is full and they move you there, that's great. But again, it's not worth the hype IMO.
