AITA for refusing to give up my first-class seat for a mom with a baby?

I (32M) recently took a long-haul flight for work. My company covered my first-class ticket, which was a nice perk since I travel often. When I boarded, a woman (late 20s or early 30s) with a baby approached me and asked if I’d be willing to swap my seat so she could sit in first class instead. She had an economy seat and claimed she was struggling to afford the trip but wanted her baby to be more comfortable.

I politely declined, explaining that my work paid for my ticket and that I needed the seat to rest before an important meeting. She got upset and said I "didn't need" first class as much as she and her baby did. A flight attendant eventually intervened, but a few people gave me judgmental looks throughout the flight.

After landing, I told a friend about it, and they said I was being selfish and that I should have helped a struggling mom. Now I’m wondering—AITA for not giving up my seat?
