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.
Yeah, agreed. I've flown it to/from SJU. I just want it for sleeping on the outbound but no way I would pay an extra $300 per segment for it! If I can snag it at the airport, that's great. Otherwise I'm still very happy to be up front.
