Alaska Airlines is recognized by WAEA (World Airline Entertainment Association) as offering "historic first" in Inflight entertainment via introducing the first hard-drive based, portable, AVOD (audio-video-on-demand) players (October 2003) that deliver various TV, audio and film programs. The digEplayer device was conceived and brought to market by Alaska Airlines baggage handler called Bill Boyer Jr. digEplayers are offered for rent on long-haul flights, although they are complimentary to First Class passengers.

In 2015 Alaska Airlines introduced Alaska Beyond with Inflight Entertainment Tablets replacing digEplayers. Alaska Beyond is available on wi-fi enabled aircraft (most Embraer 175 and Boeing 737s) and allows First Class passengers to also use Gogo Video Player on their own device instead of purchasing Inflight Entertainment Tablet.
