United Airlines to face lawsuit over sale of ‘window seats’ with no windows
Global News
A federal judge allowed a lawsuit to proceed where passengers claim United sold window seats lacking actual windows.Summary
In August, a class‑action lawsuit was filed against United Airlines after passengers who paid for window seats discovered their seats had no actual windows on Boeing 737, 757 and Airbus A321 aircraft. U.S. District Judge James Donato denied the motion filed by United to dismiss, ruling that the airline ticketing, boarding passes and reservation screens clearly promised a window view, so the breach claims can proceed. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, alleging millions were affected, and note similar legal actions against Delta and recent changes to Canadian passenger‑rights legislation.
