A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit accusing United Airlines of charging passengers for window seats that lacked actual windows. A passenger said they were charged extra for a window that didn't exist.

A California judge denied United Airlines' request to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed against the airline last year by a passenger alleging that the airline knowingly charged them extra for a window seat that didn’t actually have a window.

United defines a window seat to mean a location relative to the aisle and not a literal seat next to a window, according to the court filing.

However the judge said the passenger’s claims are plausible as the airline's booking page and boarding pass identify the seats as window seats, and United’s contract of carriage incorporates the “terms and conditions printed on or in any ticket.”
