Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are facing a class action lawsuit by passengers who says they paid extra money to sit in “window” seats, but instead placed in seats next to a blank wall, NBC News reports.
Class action lawsuits were filed against United in federal court in San Francisco and against Delta in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, seeking millions of dollars in damages on behalf of more than one million passengers at each airline.

According to the lawsuits, some Boeing 737, Boeing 757 and Airbus A321 planes features seats that would normally contain windows on others, but lack them because of the placement of air conditioning ducts, electrical conduits or other components, NBC News reports.
Passengers said Delta and United do not flag these seats during the booking process, even when charging tens or occasionally hundreds of dollars for them.
The lawsuits stated people buy window seats for several reasons including to address fear of flying or motion sickness, keep a child occupied, get extra light or watch the world go by.
