"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

They charged me an extra $50 to book an aisle seat instead of middle when I booked a flight last Christmas.
