Overview

• Proposed federal class actions were filed Aug. 19 in the Eastern District of New York (Meyer v. Delta Air Lines) and the Northern District of California (Brenman v. United Airlines).
• The complaints allege the carriers charged premiums for seats labeled as window seats that actually face blank cabin walls without disclosure during booking.
• Plaintiffs estimate more than one million such seats were sold during the class period and seek millions in damages along with refunds.
• The filings include screenshots and social‑media posts to document prior passenger complaints and alleged company awareness.
• Plaintiffs say Alaska and American identify windowless seats during selection, while Delta and United declined comment citing pending litigation.
