I have given up my seat on occasion, but not always. I did one time when asked by a gentleman whose daughter was having a temper tantrum and he was trying to keep her under control. There was a bit of confusion about which seat would become available. I did NOT want to give up my aisle position. But, the stewardess misread the situation and found me a seat further away although closer to the front. It was not an aisle seat. She was very surprised when I replied that I was very happy where I was. The gentleman and I had a nice conversation and the daughter calmed down. The stewardess didn’t understand why we were searching for a satisfactory seat for me. She thought I didn’t want to sit near the family. She thought I was racist.
I also will only sit in an aisle seat and also near the front. No I’m not giving it up unless it’s also an aisle seat and also near the front.
