Class-action lawsuits were filed on Aug. 19 against United Airlines and Delta Airlines, claiming that the companies charged passengers premium fees for window seats that were located next to a “blank wall.”

In a case filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, plaintiffs accused United of knowingly selling windowless seats to passengers who paid extra to ensure a window seat.
