United Airlines Fails to Dismiss Lawsuit Over 'Windowless' Window Seats
A federal judge has denied United Airlines' motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit concerning the sale of 'window' seats that lack an actual window. The suit was filed by a passenger who paid an extra fee for a window seat but was seated next to a solid cabin wall. The plaintiff alleges the airline's seating chart is deceptive and constitutes fraud and breach of contract. The judge found the claims plausible, allowing the case to proceed. This ruling rejects United's argument that the case should be dismissed under the Airline Deregulation Act.
