Amy Adams

<p>"I didn't do it for attention for myself. I did it for attention for the troops," Adams <a href="http://www.insideedition.com/" target="_blank">said</a> of quietly giving her first-class seat up to a soldier.

Amazing his fellow passengers going from Memphis to Dallas, the future monarch took a window seat not at the front of the aircraft. Was it so he could lean his head (heavy, the one that will wear the crown) on the plastic siding? Or maybe he has incredible bladder control? We might never know.

Anything for the children. Traveling from L.A. to New York City, Alba and her husband reportedly slummed it in the back, while their daughter and her nanny enjoyed free booze (JK—neither of them partook, probably) and slightly less punishing conditions.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

<p>Kind of like <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/news/a14197/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-armenia-flight/" target="_blank">that one time Kim and Kanye were said to have taken an economy-class flight</a> in Armenia when in actuality, it just *looked* like coach, the Brangelina Bunch (sobbing) all <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-fly-economy-kids-article-1.2250870" target="_blank">loaded onto a flight from Paris to Nice</a> that didn't separate customers by the cost of their tickets. (It was an 80-minute trip.) Egalité indeed. </p>
