US EditionDelta, United sued for selling windowless 'window seats'
- The Go Law Firm intends to file federal lawsuits around August 2025 against United and Delta Airlines, alleging they sold window seats without actual windows, with the cases expected to be filed in a California federal court.
- Passengers paid extra fees, sometimes between $15 and $100, for window seats that due to aircraft design lack a window, prompting claims of misleading business practices and false advertising.
- This issue is not new; Alaska Airlines explained in 2019 that certain Boeing 737 seats sit beside cabin walls housing air ducts, preventing window installation and leaving passengers facing blank walls.
- Attorney Casey Olbrantz stated that they aim to challenge United and Delta over deceptive business practices that can be corrected quickly, while plaintiffs are pursuing compensation and the possibility of class action litigation.
- If filed, these lawsuits could establish legal precedent on how airlines market and price premium seats labeled as window seats that lack windows, affecting consumer rights and airline policies.
