There used to be a time when people booked airplane tickets online and prayed that they would get a window seat. Some would even arrive early and stand in the check-in line to book a window seat. But nowadays we have the option to book our seats well in advance. So we can choose whether we want the window, middle or aisle seat and we even pay extra for it!
However, a guy named Anirudh Mittal paid extra and booked a window seat on his British Airways flight only to find that his window seat had no window!
“I paid extra for a right side window seat because it’s supposed to be beautiful when you land into Heathrow,” he tweeted while sharing a picture of his “window seat”
Have a look at his tweet here:

Turns out, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to a passenger. Several other people shared similar pictures of sitting on a “window seat” with no window. Others, well, they joked about it!
Brits and their old habits of stealing

You have the most important role of them all: to maintain the structural integrity of that frame’s circumference.

Not sure which aircraft you were flying in. But faced a similar thing in Boeing737 seat 10A flying to Srinagar over snowy Himalayas.The airline seat map did not show it as a non-window seat.This is where the air distribution riser ducts are carrying air from belly to the top. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/iBsZhV5kWs

When the probability is 1% of not getting window on a window seat and you fall under that 1% only 😂😂😂

How unlucky does one have to be to land a seat like this!
