Whore the Window: Delta, United Airlines filed a lawsuit for selling high -priced window seats, but the bus is empty wall
A group of passengers sued the delta air lines and United Airlines to sell window seats at a higher price, where there was no window. The proposed class action was filed against United in San Francisco Federal Court against United and in Brooklyn, New York Federal Court, each carrier demanded losses of millions of dollars for more than 1 million passengers.Complaints stated that some Boeing 737, 757 and Airbus A321 have seats that usually have windows, but there are no windows due to the placement of air conditioning ducts, electrical condenser and other components.Delta and United Airlines still book those seats as window seats and charge hundreds of dollars for those seats. The cases say that people buy window seats for several reasons, including addressing the fear of flight or motion, capturing a child, receiving additional lighting or seeing the world.Joint complaint said, “The plaintiff and class members knew that the seats they were buying (they) would not have chosen them – very few have paid extra.” Carter Greenbouum, a lawyer, whose legal firm, Greenbaum Obbantz LLP filed a suit, told The New York Times: “We are trying to make the joint and delta accountable to charge customers’ premiums for the products that they did not distribute, and the nature of the products he had presented the nature that he gave.”There are websites like seatguru to find details about seats, but Greenbam said that the ability to find information from third party websites does not excuse the conduct of delta and United.He said, “A company cannot incorrectly present the nature of the product that sells it and then trusts the third party reviews that a customer should know that it was lying,” he told CNN.
