Overview

• The complaint was filed on Aug. 19 in the Northern District of California by Greenbaum Olbrantz, according to a filing reviewed by People.
• Plaintiffs say United’s seat maps labeled some positions as window seats despite a blank wall, which passengers discovered only after boarding.
• The suit points to Boeing 737 and Airbus A321 layouts where ducts and other interior components remove windows at certain rows, yet fees still apply.
• The proposed class focuses on California travelers who paid premiums for such seats in the past four years, with typical surcharges reported at about $24 to $36.
• Greenbaum Olbrantz also filed a separate complaint against Delta in New York, underscoring that similar seating disclosures are an industrywide concern.
