Why is the first row in some planes not always Row 1?
I'm sure there is a good reason for this but I'm curious about it nonetheless.

I've noticed a wide disparity in row numbers in different planes and there may be a pattern based on airlines but I'm not sure.

For example, a lot of AA aircraft for example start with row 2 or row 3 (757 and 737 respectively) up front. The new AA 777-300ER starts with row 1 - as does almost every Delta plane I have been on.

On the other hand, all BA aircraft I've been on start with row 1 and have Swiss and LH and a few others.

Any ideas?
