Delta Air Lines compelled to litigate in the window seats fee suit filed by flyers

A New York federal judge has rejected Delta Air Lines' motion to dismiss a proposed class-action lawsuit, accusing the airline of deceptive practices and breach of contract for charging extra fees for windowless “window seats,” Law360 reported on November 4. Delta Air Lines now faces a proposed class-action lawsuit for allegedly charging extra for window seats with no window. A passenger named Nicholas Meyer sued Delta in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on August 19, 2025. In his court documents, Meyer alleged that he paid extra for window seats on a trip from LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County. However, when he boarded a Boeing 757-200 for the second part of his journey, his seat, 23F, was next to a blank cabin wall. According to SimpleFlying, the lawsuit alleges that Delta sells certain windowless seats on its Boeing 737, Boeing 757 and Airbus A321, positioning them as window seats.

Who was Richard Bong? All we know as part of plane flown by the ace gets added to Wisconsin museum

A piece of a Lightning P-38 fighter plane flown by Richard Bong was recovered from a jungle crash site in Papua New Guinea and returned to the Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center in Superior, Wisconsin. Richard Bong was one of America’s greatest fighter pilots during World War II. He was credited with 40 aerial victories against the Japanese military. General Douglas MacArthur presented him with the Medal of Honor in December 1944. He named his iconic P-38 after his fiancée, Marjorie Ann Vattendahl (“Marge”), and painted her face on the nose of the plane. Bong’s P-38 Lightning, which was flown by another pilot (Thomas Malone), crashed on a mission in March 1944 on a hillside in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. Bong was not in the plane; Malone managed to parachute out safely and was rescued. The wreckage of the P-38 aircraft was located in 2024 by Justin Taylan of Pacific Wrecks.
