Alaska Airlines (Seattle/Tacoma) announced today (April 14) that its advanced new digEplayer devices took to the skies this week, expanding the inflight entertainment option of customers on its longer flights. The new system offers touch-screen navigation and is lighter weight and smaller than the previous system.
Alaska’s digEplayers boast a varied selection of content, including more new-release movies and television programs, the NFL Network, ReelzChannel Hollywood programming and interactive games. The device can also be connected to the Internet via Alaska Airlines’ Gogo inflight Wi-Fi network for an additional fee.
The new digEplayers are available on most Alaska Airlines flights longer than three hours. The price is $14 on flights longer than 4.5 hours and $8 on flights less than 4.5 hours. Customers receive a $2 discount when they reserve a digEplayer in advance via the airline’s alaskaair.com website.
Alaska Airlines debuted its custom-designed digEplayer system in 2003, becoming the first carrier in the world to offer customers portable video-on-demand technology from a convenient handheld device.
