Traveling by plane is today a case of paid options: to remove a cabin luggage or choose your headquarters. And these options represent an unexpected financial gain for companies. But sometimes the promise is not there.
Delta and United Airlines have brought two collective remedies against these US airlines. In question: they paid a seat on the side of the ox eye, but they found a blind wall. They believe that the two operators knowing additional costs to these seats with ox that they are not. And the amount of the option is not trivial: $ 70 in Delta and 50 to 100 dollars in United.

Appeals require “additional cost reimbursement” for all passengers who have paid the seats on the ox side but have obtained seats without ox, as well as punitive damage. According to the law firm, the total number of passengers in question “is in millions.” These seats on the ox side but without ox ox are present in some Boeing 737, Boeing 757 and Airbus A321, can be read in the complaint. There are “at least” one of these blind seats on these devices generally due to air conditioning or electrical components.
For the plaintiffs, companies know very well that these seats lack an ox. They also point out that other companies such as American Airlines and Alaska Airlines clearly indicate during the reserve process if a seat does not have an ox. On the contrary, according to them, United and Delta affirm that “each side wall of the aircraft seat is presented as a seat on the ox side.” One of the plaintiffs explains that he paid between $ 45.99 and 169.99 to choose a seat on each of his three United flights from Los Angeles and none of them was on the ox side. Started, the company had agreed to compensate for twice the price of the option.
