KLM: Portable DVD Player onboard? Any power outlets? Laptop better?
I'm flying on KLM from Houston to Amsterdam and then onto Rome. It'll be a long flight and only one TV screen for 3 seats which equals to boredom! I hate having no choice in what I have to watch for 10 hours. You can only sleep so long in an uncomfortable position! Is there a power outlet in couch for either a DVD player or a laptop? Their batteries last only so long. Ideas? Thanks!!!

Unless you're flying the all-business class KL663/4, you'll be on an older 747-400. There's no power outlet in coach, and I think you get a screen every few <b>rows</b>, not every 3 seat. And if you have a window seat, forget about seeing the monitor.

If you're Flyingblue or other Skyteam elite, you can ask for a seat up in the very front coach section, where seating is 3-2 with just one aisle. My parents fly KL on IAH-AMS about once a year, and they love those seats up there. Quiet cabin, and lots of room between the seats on the "2" side and the wall.

I got an external supplemental battery for my DVD player which claims to add 6 hours plus the 2 hours I get from the player.
I went to battergeek website and they help determinne what battery you need for your machine.
I haven't used it yet but bought it for me and 2 kids ATL to Bangalore. The extra batteries are expensive $100+ but I think worth it. (This was part of reason I bought cheaper DVD player since long power is most important to me).
