A New York law firm brought the cases as proposed class actions on behalf of any passengers who say they wouldn't have selected or paid more for their reserved places if they had known the seats did not include a window. We have received a flood of interest from passengers who feel they have been harmed by this practice and who wish to join the lawsuits, the Greenbaum Olbrantz firm said in a statement. It makes sense that people are upset.
One of the most disappointing seats on a Boeing 737 is central to a lawsuit filed in a federal court in San Francisco this week. A San Francisco man joined the class action suit against United Airlines Tuesday, alleging the airline charged him extra for a window seat that was actually next to a wall. Marc Brenman of San Francisco, along with Aviva Copaken of Los Angeles, filed the complaint alleging that United "misleads its customers by selling 'window' seats without windows."
"Engine failure, left engine," a pilot can be heard saying. "Mayday, mayday, mayday." The Boeing 787 landed safely after just 30 minutes in the air, having dumped fuel near the airport.
"The change brings greater consistency for our customers by aligning with our current checked baggage deadline and the check-in policies followed by most other airlines," a United Airlines spokesperson told Yahoo News.
A new study by the nonprofit Center for Policy Equity, based at Yale University, undercuts BART's claims about how fare evasion impacted its revenues, and suggests that new fare gates aren't going to make BART more profitable or more safe.
