DL Medallion Flying AS YVR-LAX in First Class

Hello All!

I'm a Platinum Medallion on Delta and will be flying AS YVR-LAX tomorrow in first class. Was happy to receive the complimentary upgrade automatically at 2 days out! This is the first time flying Alaska in first and had a couple of quick questions:

1. Baggage Allowance-I'm traveling with one snowboard bag to check that is quite heavy, about 60lbs. Is the weight limit for first class passengers 50lbs? Just curious as Delta gives first class passengers a 60lbs allowance (maybe it's 75lbs, but they've been changing things lately).
2. Will I have access to the AS Boardroom at YVR as a DL Platinum flying in first class? Or, is this only available to Delta Skyclub members?
3. Is there IFE available on the 737-800?

I think that's it. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

1.) You're allowed 2 bags @ 50 lbs each traveling in first class. As a Platinum, you have the same complimentary allowance if traveling in coach.

2.) There is no Board Room at YVR, as it closed a while ago. Regardless, only full fare and award passengers get Board Room access (booked in F or A classes of service).

3.) No IFE is built into any Alaska aircraft. On some longer flights (midcons/transcons), you'll receive a Digi-player handheld unit, which is complimentary in first class and available for purchase in coach.
