Privacy screens and molded headrests: what's changing in premium economy

Euronews Portugal9 September 2026 at 06:00

Airlines are making significant investments in premium economy, introducing features that were previously exclusive to business class. Among the new features are privacy screens and molded headrests, which provide greater comfort and intimacy to passengers.

These changes aim to make travel more luxurious without the high prices of business class. Passengers can now enjoy a more private and comfortable flight experience, with features that were previously reserved for those traveling in higher classes.

The trend reflects a growing demand for better conditions even in economy class, pushing airlines to innovate and offer added value to attract customers willing to pay a little more for a more comfortable journey.

Do You Earn More with Savings Certificates or the S&P 500? Pedro Andersson's Answer

A Portuguese couple invested 100 thousand euros in Savings Certificates and, after two years, their son-in-law compared the returns obtained with what they would have earned if the money had been invested in the S&P 500, finding a difference of over 40 thousand euros in favor of the American index. The article questions, however, whether this comparison is fair, considering factors such as risk tolerance, currency considerations, tax treatment, and the fact that the couple prioritized capital preservation over higher returns, raising the question of whether earning less necessarily means making a bad financial decision.

Markets under pressure from oil and gas: caution before ECB and American inflation

Financial markets face a week of high caution, pressured by the escalation of oil and natural gas prices, while investors await US inflation data (Friday) and the ECB decision (Thursday, with a 25 basis point rise expected). Wall Street closed in negative territory, with the S&P 500 falling 0.58% and the Dow Jones 1.18%, affected by the rise in Treasury yields and the energy rally. In Europe, the main indices closed stable, with the ECB prepared to raise the deposit rate to 2.5%. Brent crude approached $100 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East (Houthi attacks and Iranian threats), and natural gas at TTF reached its highest level since January 2023, reinforcing inflation fears.

Farmers demand 200 million euro support to combat energy and fertilizer crisis

Portuguese farmers, represented by the Confederation of Farmers of Portugal (CAP), are asking the Government for financial support of between 170 and 200 million euros to address the crisis of energy and fertilizer costs. The increase in agricultural diesel prices since March already represents a cost burden of approximately 60 million euros, but it is fertilizers that are generating the greatest concern among farmers, since their production depends heavily on energy. CAP warns that Spain has made available approximately 1,100 million euros in support for fertilizers, while Portugal has allocated only 26 million, creating a significant competitive disadvantage for national farmers. CAP's representative, Luís Mira, criticizes that Portugal is "looking the other way" while Spain prepares incentives to develop a domestic fertilizer industry. The Government is preparing a reinforcement of support for agricultural diesel through a cost subsidy, which could benefit farmers and consumers by helping to contain pressure on agricultural product prices.
