Monarch do also offer an extra legroom option only which is £35 each way. You should check this is available before you book to guarantee you can get this. With the extra legroom option, you may find the flight is still cheaper than EK and BA but have that extra bit of comfort. I should point out though that IFE on this flight is via overhead screens and not in the seatback in the standard cabin. There is seatback TV in Premium however.
