If she really had ‘class’ nobody would know about this. I’ve seen this happen many time during my road-warrior days.
The difference was, those of us giving up the seats weren’t celebrities who, intentionally or not, got publicity for doing it.
When I flew in uniform the stewardess almost always got us into first class when there was room. Korean Airlines was like heaven.
I completely understand your point. But I am also willing to cut her some slack because, for all we know, the publicity for her is a CLM (career limiting maneuver).
It’s not her fault people hit the twitter verse with the “news”.
It didn’t say she made a big announcement. She’s a recognizable person and the article said others tweeted about it. Not knowing what really occurred from the brevity of this story, I’ll assume she wasn’t seeking accolades, but just wanted to do something nice.
Fellow X1st Cavalryman,
The article said that someone saw her do it and told about it. It, at least by the Time story, did NOT come from her publicist. Thus I say “give her the benefit of doubt” that she did not seek publicity.

According to the article the story originated from a tweet by another passenger who saw what Amy did, not from Amy.
"The actress, whose father was in the U.S. military, then went back to her new seat in coach."
Accounts of the seat swap were posted to Twitter by fellow passengers flying to Los Angeles from Detroit.
Sometimes, there's more to an article than just the headline... LOL! :)
She didn’t publicize it, other passengers did. I think that was unavoidable.
