Whether it's trading down from business class, upgrading with miles or buying extra space because of Covid-19 fears, premium economy seats are likely to be in high demand when international travel picks up.
(CNN) — Premium economy. The two words might seem a weird combination in airline terms, since it's a rare airline where economy seats feel premium these days. But these seats between coach and business class on international flights were heating up even before Covid-19, and as we all start to travel again in 2021, they're set to be a must-fly for many passengers. Why? It's a combination of factors.
