Delta and United Sued Over Windowless 'Window' Seats

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are facing lawsuits from passengers who claim they were deceived into paying extra for 'window' seats that lacked a window.

The class-action lawsuits were filed in federal courts in New York and San Francisco, seeking millions of dollars in damages for over one million passengers per airline.

Plaintiffs allege that the airlines fail to disclose the absence of a window during booking, despite charging extra for these seats. These seats are found on certain Boeing 737, Boeing 757, and Airbus A321 aircraft, where air conditioning ducts or other components obstruct the window.

Passengers claim they purchase window seats for reasons such as managing flight anxiety or motion sickness.

Delta is based in Atlanta, and United is based in Chicago.
