Popular demand is driving Delta and Shake Shack to expand service in the skies and celebrate with a surprise for Uber waitlisters. Other menu refreshes are also coming for this spring. Delta to serve Shake Shack burgers on flights
Delta’s first-of-its-kind partnership with Shake Shack will begin on flights out of Boston on Dec. 1, with plans for expansion to other U.S. markets throughout 2025.
Starting March 4, mouthwatering burgers will be available in First Class on flights over 900 miles out of Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia and Seattle as the partnership expands to additional locations.
To celebrate the Shake Shack partnership, as well as Uber joining the SkyMiles program this spring, Delta, Shake Shack and Uber Eats are teaming up for a burger drop with a ‘buy one ShackBurger and get one free’ offer on Uber Eats. SkyMiles Members who already joined the Delta x Uber waitlist, or sign up by March 6, will have the offer added to their Uber Eats account in the next few days. Waitlisters will have until March 14 to enjoy a second ShackBurger free with their Shake Shack burger order. So, take advantage of this BOGO offer, share a burger with your travel bestie, and enjoy!*
“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 customers. The Shake Shack Cheeseburger features a 100% Angus beef patty, topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun. Customers 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 travellers the chance to enjoy Shake Shack along their journey.”
Customers sitting in First Class on routes over 900 miles can select the Shake Shack Cheeseburger as their entrée for lunch or dinner before their flight. First Class customers 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.
With more expansions on the horizon, you never know where burgers might fly next.
Seasonal Refreshes Across Cabins
In honour of the airline’s Centennial, Biscoff is joining in the fun to wish Delta a happy 100, with a special ‘Biscoff Sandwich’ cookie, available in First Class. Customers in Main Cabin and Comfort+ can also snag limited edition Centennial packaging of the classic Biscoff cookies and Atlanta-based Extra Pale-Ale, Sweetwater 420. And that’s just the start of several onboard updates this spring as Delta continues to raise the bar in its centennial year.
Good food that’s good for you
Special Meals menus are being revamped for customers in First Class and Delta One departing from the U.S. with specific dietary restrictions and preferences. The meals are chef-curated and made fresh in-house1, with menus refreshed periodically.
“Every customer should feel a sense of belonging when traveling with us – regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences,” said Laster. “This program is just one of the ways we are providing consistent and elevated options for all customers.”
Customers across all cabins on eligible U.S. domestic and international flights can select from a wide range of special meals to meet dietary needs; special meals can be requested via MyTrips in Special Service Requests or by reaching out to Delta at least 24 hours in advance of your flight.
Jon & Vinny’s braised meatballs with Bianco DiNapoli marinara have long been a fan favorite entrée, with Delta first partnering with the LA-based chefs back in 2017. In fact, the meatballs, served with garlic bread and ricotta, have proven so popular they’ve never come off the menu since their onboard launch nearly eight years ago. Previously only available on flights out of LAX, Delta has expanded this offering to the below routes:
- Available in select First Class routes out of West and Southwest airports, from Anchorage to Austin.
- Available in Delta One on flights departing from CVG, MSP, LAX, MCO, PDX, SEA, SLC and TPA.
