No AC power on KLM long haul to LAX - Will fl. att. help and recharge in the galley?
I have a longhaul from AMS to LAX.
Seat Guru says no AC power in ECO.
747-400
Can I count on the flight attendants doing me a favor by letting me recharge my laptop in the galley?
My battery needs replacing and gets used up quickly and I have no time to replace it before my long flight.
Thank in advance.

I fly this type of plane on KL quite regularly and usually you can charge in the senior purser's office (located under the stairway towards the upper deck).
A couple of side notes:
-Usually multiple people are asking to charge devices, so your time might be limited.
-US and EU plugs both work fine, no need to bring a travel adapter.
-I usually charge a cell phone without issues. I've once tried to charge my 2018 HP Spectre laptop in the purser's office, but after 2,5h it still didn't have enough power to turn it on again. In the business class seats there are power outlets and charging my laptop there works fine.

Was on a 73G last week and a helpful F/A sought power in the front for someones apple laptop. Asked if it could sit in row 1 (middle) and those pax were fine with it. Think it ended up being stashed in the front somewhere. The FA's were very accommodating.
