"The use of the word 'window' in reference to a particular seat cannot reasonably be interpreted as a promise that the seat will have an exterior window view," the airline's lawyers wrote.

If you are charging extra for this seat, it certainly can be interpreted this way.

Idk about other airlines, but American does not charge more for any seat within a given row. Only the various rows cost more or less

In August, United and Delta Air Lines were sued by passengers in two separate but similar suits. Both airlines were accused of unfairly charging extra for some window seats
