"Boeing 737 and Airbus A321 jets typically have at least one row with a missing window due to ducts or other components. They are the most popular planes in the world, with thousands of them shuttling passengers every day. Plenty of them will wind up next to a blank wall instead of a window. Last month, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines were sued by passengers who said they unexpectedly found themselves in these " windowless window seats.""
"The plaintiffs said they spent between $45 and $170 extra to choose their seats. I decided to book one for myself to see what it was like. It was obviously different for me because I knew what I was in for, while the plaintiffs said they didn't. But I was still surprised to find a benefit that might make some travelers want to choose this seat over another one."
Many Boeing 737 and Airbus A321 jets include at least one row with a missing window because of ducts or other components. Tens of thousands of these popular jets operate daily, so many seat bookings can end up beside a blank wall. Passengers have sued United and Delta claiming they paid extra to choose seats without being warned about missing windows. The plaintiffs reported paying between $45 and $170 to select seats. One traveler intentionally booked a windowless seat on a Ryanair 737, paying for the flight and a seat reservation, and found an unexpected benefit: it made for a good spot to nap.
