A passenger service terminal, for example in an aircraft, includes comfort and service components such as a reading lamp, a flight attendant call button, a loudspeaker, an air nozzle, an oxygen mask, an oxygen generator, and an optical display element incorporated in a separate support bail or support rod that cooperates with but remains separate from a passenger seat. An air supply duct and electrical and optical conductors pass through seat components. A bail or bow (8) forming a support, at least partly, frames the backrest and holds at least certain service and comfort components while simultaneously forming a privacy hood (19). Alternatively, side rods (8A) are arranged laterally and alongside the backrest (5) to hold lateral curtains (19A) also providing some privacy. The side rods are preferably hollow to hold an air supply duct, wiring and optical conductors. A seated passenger can easily and comfortably operate the service functions without disturbing a neighbor.
