Delta Airlines and United Airlines are facing a proposed class action lawsuit in Brooklyn federal court, according to Benzinga. Passengers alleged they were charged extra for window seats but were placed next to “windowless” walls due to air conditioning ducts or electrical units. The complaint claims the airlines failed to disclose these seats during booking, unlike Alaska Air and American Airlines, which label them. The lawsuit seeks millions in damages for over 1 million passengers. The case comes as United recently grounded all U.S. mainland flights over technical issues and Delta faces pressure from the Department of Justice on its joint venture with Grupo Aeromexico.
