In this article UAL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT United Airlines new Polaris seat on one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners Leslie Josephs/CNBC Does it matter where you sit if you're sipping Champagne in first class? United Airlines is betting that for some travelers looking for luxury at a discount, it doesn't. The carrier is launching new, cheaper tiers for its top-end Polaris and premium economy cabins that come with many of the same perks — but plenty of restrictions too. Starting this spring, United will offer "Base" Polaris fares which will include a spot in the airline's long-haul business class cabins featuring lie-flat seats, but will charge those customers extra for advanced seat selection. The new ticket class will also come with only one checked bag instead of two, and with access to the United Club airport lounge but not the higher-end Polaris lounge, which include showers and other plush features. Ticket changes aren't allowed. Read more about airlines' race to win over big spenders United ditches more economy seats to make room for bigger premium cabins with new layouts Why airline class wars will intensify in 2026 Caviar and privacy: Airlines' business-class wars are here Delta says premium travel is set to overtake coach cabin sales next year American Airlines is arriving late to the luxury travel boom. Can it catch up? First-class seats are getting so fancy they’re holding up new airplanes Airlines can’t add high-end seats fast enough as travelers treat themselves to first class The other categories for Polaris will be "Standard" and the more expensive "Flexible" option that allows for customers to pay up for the new, more spacious Polaris Studio suites. The new fares show that United — and perhaps soon, other airlines — are dividing up the front of the plane into smaller categories, just as they have with coach over the past decade, from restrictive basic economy tickets to extra legroom fares. United's new strategy comes as it overh...

Feel like too much low-quality screen time is making you … dumber? From focusing on your environment to ‘washing’ your brain, experts share tips on how to sharpen up and keep your mind fighting fit Plus: how rotten is your brain? Take our quiz to find out Ever had one of those days when you get nothing done but still somehow feel exhausted? Of course you have: brain rot, the Oxford word of the year for 2024 , isn’t yet in any medical dictionaries, but it’s probably best understood as the decline in cognitive abilities that comes from endless exposure to easily digestible information. And, thanks to the ubiquity of short‑form video and social media, it’s almost certainly on the rise. “When we’re engaging with this sort of media, our brains are both underworked – because the information is easy to understand – and overworked because there is so much information to absorb,” says Dr Wendy Ross, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University. “That’s why you end up tired even if you’re just scrolling on your couch.” Want to throw the process into reverse and recover your attention? Here’s how. Continue reading...

Steve Dunning/iStock via Getty Images The shroud of the Middle East war overhangs the Good Friday holiday. The attack on an Iranian bridge yesterday threatens a response in kind by Tehran, and this will serve to keep risk appetites in check ahead of the weekend. Many centers will be closed on Monday as well. The main interest today is with the US March jobs data. Because the labor force is barely growing, in good part due to the crackdown on immigration (both legal and illegal), various estimates suggest that practically no job growth is consistent with the new equilibrium. The US has created about 156k jobs over the past 12 months, and the unemployment rate has averaged 4.3%. The unemployment rate is at 4.4%, and that is the median projection for the end of the year by the Federal Reserve last month. The low level of unemployment seems to belie claims of stagflation. Meanwhile, news that the US Army Chief of Staff General and two other generals were purged is being discussed widely. It seems unusual in the middle of a military conflict. Reports suggest clashes over promotions and operational strategy in Iran. While it could impact command continuity, it is arguably about aligning leadership with the administration’s goals. At the same time, it fans some fears that the US will put “boots on the ground”. This feeds into the market’s reluctance to take more risk. At the same time, the week ending Wednesday was the first in six weeks that foreign central banks did not draw on their custody holdings (Treasuries and Agencies) at the Federal Reserve. In fact, their holdings increased by almost $3.3 bln. Prices G10 • The euro’s sell-off after President Trump’s national address on Wednesday evening in the US saw it retrace (61.8%) of the week’s rally, slightly below $1.1515. It recovered to about $1.1565 before running out of steam. The thin markets have confined it to about $1.1530-$1.1545 so far today, trading as it were between two option strikes ($1.1525 for ~512 mln eu...
