I'm afraid I simply cannot agree with you re: the IFE choice on EK. There is no way I can objectively or reasonably subjectively accept that the IFE choice is "pretty limited".

To positively compare screens on TK on the LHR-IST route in Y against EK's J screens on new aircraft (only the ancient screens on 777/A340 on EK might be inferior), does not chime with reality, in my experience. I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone else who prefers TK Y IFE to EK J, on any aircraft. After all, TK's flagship product, the 777-300ER that sometimes flies LHR-IST uses exactly the same old ICE digital Panasonic ex2 screens in Y as EK does on many of its old planes. It has since been superceded by 2 newer versions of ICE with the tablet controllers.

As for censorship, that is simply a fact of life in many places in the world. If you are extremely serious about cinema, I do not think you will be regularly watching critically onboard a plane. But I mean, EK even had Deadpool that wasn't heavily edited. Deadpool. The movie choices go back 4-6 months. There are literally dozens of new movies and hundreds of movies in the collection, not to mention TV shows etc.

FYI there is overhead storage in J on the new A380s - it is not being removed from the middle seats, only the window seats (which have narrower bins in any case).
