Agreed! Very, very classy!
Yep! CLASS.
Finally, an actress who isn’t a typical self-absorbed Hollywood phony.
She is also talented.
This too is becoming increasingly rare.
Amy Adams has always been one of my favorite actresses from the younger set.
BTW, she's the daughter of a serviceman.
Don’t the usual “rules” apply here?
BRAVO!
"The actress, whose father was in the U.S. military, then went back to her new seat in coach."
Damn, wish I had the seat next to where that soldier was supposed to sit.
FWIW, this practice is fairly common amongst us frequent fliers. 1st class upgrade seats are frequently offered to service members, as are exit rows and invites to the travel lounges where no USO is present.
it’s a nice gesture but as a guy i would feel weird having a girl give up her seat to me, in 1st class no less.
maybe if i was single i’d say give it to the guy next to me and sit down, let’s talk...
A gentleman would insist that the person sitting next to Amy switch seats with the soldier.
It appears as though there still are good young people left in this country. A ray of light in a country of doom and gloom. Thank you Amy. Like others here have said, you’re nothing but class.
Coming back from London I changed planes in Nework NJ for the 3 hour trip to Houston. Company business so I was up front. I saw an Army Captain in camo head back to coach and asked the flight attendant if I could switch seats with him. she was very happy to agree and told me she would bring my free drinks back to me. After I got settled in next to an engineer from Shell a lady behind me tapped me on my back and said, “you just traded seats with that solider didn’t you?” I told her no big deal but she insisteted on using her drink coupon to buy me one. Well she must have been traveling with the whole choir or something because pretty soon I had Sky bottles lined up all the way across my fold down tray. The Shell guy was Muslim and couldn’t help me out so I was doing my best when the first class attendant came back with a big tumbler of vodka. Good thing I had a town car waiting for me in Houston. Served 24 years myself and can rember kindnesses like that so was happy happy happy to return the vibe.
I have never heard of her but that is very classy. Our military deserves every nice thing we can do for them. Many years ago my late husband and I were in the Atlanta airport. There were a large group of soldiers at the next gate. I went over, hugged many of them, thanked them for serving and asked if they were coming home or going back to the ME. They were going back there so I was really glad I did what I did. They were so very young.
She’s high on my list as absolutely gorgeous . . . and now she’s high on my list as a good American. Can’t get any prettier than her . . . except my wife, of course.
Beautiful outside and inside. Gracious lady. I wish her much future success.
Unfortunately, this story will probably get her blacklisted.
Hmmm- a bit of a difference from back in 1966 when I was flying space-available on United Airlines and was given a cold box-lunch because “we ran out of regular meals, sir - I know you’ll understand” - glad the world has changed to the better for the troops......
Now that’s a great American woman. Thank you, Amy Adams!
