It does not sounds that good, Maybe you should try QR and compare it with EK?
I've seen many broken seats in Y with QR and last year with Saudi Airlines many of the seats were broken on a 777 from JED to LHR and many of the screens didnt work!
Will fly EK this aug and see how they are, have not used them for a while now. But since QR become so expensive and no longer flying from LGW I will give EK a try.
