First time in 1A
The other day it hits. 
Ok, it's in a CRJ9 and only a shorthaul (MAN-CGN) - but anyway. Looking forward to see it.
Would like to hear some old-timers (or fresh hits) about the first time in 1A (or 2A if you prefer).
Until I only have the BP, report due for Tuesday night.

Depends on the plane, 1A in F on Emirates or Cathay, both of which I'm pleased to have done, it can't be beat!
On a domestic F setup, 2A is my jam. I really dislike the bulkhead.

First time was a long haul US Airways Flight (PHL->BRU) circa '09 or so. Can't remember the specific aircraft, but the seat was leather and almost fully reclined, but wasn't a lie flat. There was nothing preventing me from sliding forward and off of the seat as I tried to sleep in the "almost lying down" position.
I got off the plane and realized that I have actually gotten better sleep in coach on long haul flights by wedging myself between my seat, the seat in front of me, and the window than in Business/First Class. That's changed in the years of the lie-flat seats, of course.

I like bulkhead seats because even worse than no leg room is having a seat back slam down into my space.
I sat in 1A on an AA E75 the other day. Great seat w lots of leg room and no one next to you!

No selfie or BP picture :-)
Would go for 2F next time (bulkhead behind toilet). From left 1 or 2 you would look into that (EW CRJ900).
Legroom at bulkhead some +10cm. In further rows it's the same as with the "extra legroom" rows 4-9.
Could have been testing all the seats - noone around, best perk :-).
