Why some airline window seats don't have windows
Two US airlines, United and Delta, face lawsuits over windowless seats sold as 'window seats.' These seats lack physical windows due to aircraft design elements like ducts and wiring, with airlines such as JetBlue and Iberia also having similar seats. Passengers argue they paid extra for seats without views, while airlines claim a 'window seat' refers to a wall-adjacent position.
