Your Shake Shack cravings just got cleared for departure. Starting Dec. 1, Delta Air Lines’ first-class flyers on routes that cover more than 900 miles will be able to pre-order Shake Shack’s cheeseburgers as their in-flight meal option, according to a .
The partnership is a first of its kind for the airline, with plans to expand to additional markets across the country throughout 2025. “A delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food — our customers know that, which is why burgers are one of the top ordered menu items we offer, and we’re thrilled to elevate the offering with Shake Shack,” Delta’s managing director of onboard service Stephanie Laster explained. “However, our partnership with Shake Shack goes beyond the burger.
Shake Shack’s people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighborhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve.” Passengers will specifically be able to order the Shake Shack cheeseburger, featuring a 100% Angus beef patty, cheese and a toasted potato bun. They can personalize their order to replicate the signature ShackBurger by adding tomato, lettuce and Shake Shack’s famous ShackSauce, all served on the side.
The meal will include chips, a Caesar salad and a dark chocolate brownie. Michael Kark, who serves as Shake Shack's president of global licensing, explained that the collaboration aims to heighten Delta's dining experience. “At Shake Shack, we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to meet our guests where they are, even at 35,000 feet,” Kark said in the release.
“Taking our beloved cheeseburger to new heights, Shake Shack is proud to partner with Delta as we elevate the in-flight dining and hospitality experience for travelers across the country.” Delta customers can order the Shake Shack item through pre-selection. Entrée adjustments can be made up to 24 hours before departure using the Fly Delta app or via email and as early as seven days before take-off.
