The reason for the lawsuit, which would appear to be a joke? <strong>Misleading passengers in order to have paid<\/strong> <strong>most expensive window seat<\/strong>. But in reality, they are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal proceedings<\/strong>filed on 19 August by the law firm Greenbaum Olbrantz LLP, allege that the two carriers charged passengers additional fees for these seats. Or, <strong>if they are indeed located next to a porthole, they are in fact facing a wall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the documents, <strong>passengers would not have agreed to pay extra if they had known that their seats had no real windows<\/strong>.

The procedure also notes that other carriers such as <strong>Alaska Airlines <\/strong>and<strong> American Airlines<\/strong> <strong>alert customers<\/strong> when a window seat does not offer a view.
