Fully agree and on short hops it drives me insane I’ve started taking LCC between RUH and DXB as I can put the ipad on with noise cancelling headphones and watch downloaded TV without frequent interruptions about donations, shopping, ice, expo, Dubai promos. Add in that every TV episode has an endless stream of adverts on each episode.

The one that really gets me is making the announcement in English then releasing the button for a second allowing video to restart then pressing it again for Arabic.
First world problems but it’s enough to make someone to go postal.
