Ever paid extra for a window seat… and stared at a blank wall instead? A consumer law firm (Greenbaum Olbrantz, via Top Class Actions) says that selling “window seats” without actual windows may violate passenger rights and constitute false advertising—cue a class action aimed at United and Delta. The stakes feel small—think the classic $3.83 settlement check—but the principle isn’t. If airlines charge a premium, shouldn’t you get the view you paid for? Some travelers report they’ve been refunded after writing in, but that’s after-the-fact hassle. The easy fix: call it a “wall seat,” be transparent, and let customers choose accordingly. Until that happens, arm yourself. Before you book, look up seat maps that show which rows actually have windows. Pro tip: search “aerolopa [airline] [plane type]” to match your flight’s layout and avoid the dreaded blind panel. Bonus: you’ll spot quirks like tighter last rows or sneaky extra legroom. Frivolous? Maybe to non-flyers. But for frequent travelers, clarity isn’t a luxury—it’s the bare minimum.
