Delta and Shake Shack expand onboard partnership
Shake Shack's updated offerings for Delta First Class passengers
Delta Air Lines has announced it is expanding its onboard partnership with Shake Shack to four new cities.
Starting this month, mouthwatering burgers will be available in First Class on flights more than 900 miles out of Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia and Seattle as the partnership expands to additional locations.
“Customers are raving about the Shake Shack experience onboard our flights after serving more than 10,000 burgers out of Boston since launching in December,” said Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Service. “This is part of our work to partner with brands our customers already know and love while continuing to raise the bar for the in-flight experience – whether that’s making your favorite cheeseburger available at 35,000 feet, or ensuring you have a variety of fresh meals to choose from that fuel you on your adventure.”
First launched out of Boston at the end of 2024, the Shake Shack Cheeseburger was an instant hit with passengers, the press release said. The Shake Shack Cheeseburger features a 100 percent Angus beef patty, topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun. Travellers can customize their burger to create the signature ShackBurger, with toppings like tomato, lettuce and Shake Shack’s famous ShackSauce, all served on the side. The meal also features chips, a Caesar salad and a dark chocolate brownie.
“Our partnership with Delta has been a truly fantastic way to bring Shake Shack to even more guests in a setting where hospitality truly matters – while traveling,” said Michael Kark, President of Global Licensing at Shake Shack. “The response has been incredible, and we’re thrilled to expand this partnership, giving even more Delta travelers the chance to enjoy Shake Shack along their journey.”
Passengers sitting in First Class on routes longer than 900 miles can select the Shake Shack Cheeseburger as their entrée for lunch or dinner before their flight. First Class passengers can make and edit their entrée selection up to 24 hours in advance using the Fly Delta app or the link in their email, starting seven days before departure.
