Delta takes Shake Shack cheeseburgers to 30,000 feet with new in-flight menu

Delta has announced it is teaming up with Shake Shack to serve the chain’s famed cheeseburgers at 30,000 feet.

The partnership is set to kick off Dec. 1 on flights out of Boston and will expand to additional routes throughout 2025, allowing first-class passengers to pre-order and personalize patties on flights over 900 miles.

“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,” said Stephanie Laster, managing director of onboard service. “However, our partnership with Shake Shack goes beyond the burger. Shake Shack’s people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighbourhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve.”

The Shake Shack cheeseburger will be available via pre-select, allowing travellers to make and edit their entrée selection up to 24 hours in advance using the Fly Delta app or a link in their email, starting seven days before departure.

Travellers on flights over 499 miles will also be able to choose from one of four sweet or savory snacks, including: Lotus Biscoff cookies, 88 Acres dark chocolate sea salt seed and oat bar, 30K snack mix or SunChips Garden Salsa flavoured whole grain snacks.

Customers in Delta Comfort+ and First Class on select domestic flights can also choose from a premium snack basket, which includes the iconic Lotus Biscoff cookie transformed into a vanilla cream-filled sandwich.
