Was in pilot crew bunk and smelled electrical odor same time got call from flight crew of odor in First Class Galley and First Class area. Turned off galley power and odor seemed to dissipate. All flight crew returned to cockpit. After returning to cockpit electrical odor was again noticed in cockpit and a call from Purser saying odor noticed again in First Class and Business cabin area. We elected to declare an emergency and divert. [We] went through smoke and fire checklist and made normal landing. Electrical odor dissipated and aircraft was looked over by fire rescue when all clear we parked at gate.
FL380 flight attendants in First Class Galley reported electrical odor. Exact location could not be found but seemed to spread into the Business Class Galley as well. The Captain was awakened from his break and a decision was made to divert. An emergency was declared and we were given a descent and a short approach. Emergency trucks did not observe any external indications of fire so passengers were kept in their seats and we made an uneventful taxi to the gate.
B777 flight attendants and pilots detected an electrical odor in First and Business Classes so an emergency was declared and the flight diverted to an enroute airport for maintenance. The flight later continued on the same aircraft.
