What 13 hour flight has power outlets that will output the 100+ watts you need to play Red Dead Redemption 2?

This was a Virgin Atlantic 747 (Hong Kong - London). I have a Surface Book 2 which I know has an unusually low-powered power supply (such that gaming will drain the battery even when plugged in), but given how much power sockets are now normal and expected, I'd be surprised if they couldn't handle most laptops.

It looks like a 4800U can run the game at 30fps low settings, and that's a 15 watt part.

And the issue applies to other games and intermittent play too.
