ATLANTA - Delta and Shake Shack partnered last year to offer burgers in the sky, and the companies are now expanding the offering to new U.S. cities in 2025.
The expanded offering, which began on Tuesday, means some passengers on flights out of four major cities will be able to customize a burger for their flight.
Here's what to know:
More Delta routes offer Shake Shack in-flight
What we know:
Delta first offered Shake Shack cheeseburgers on flights out of Boston. Beginning on March 4, they are now available in First Class on flights out of Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle, the Atlanta-based carrier said. It added that it plans to expand the partnership to "additional locations."
Travelers can customize their cheeseburger, with toppings like tomato, lettuce and ShackSauce, served on the side. The meal also comes with chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie.
Delta said customers in First Class can pre-select the Shake Shack cheeseburger as their entrée for lunch or dinner before their flight and edit their selection up to 24 hours in advance using the Fly Delta app or the link in their email.

Dig deeper:
Delta is also expanding its popular Jon & Vinny’s braised meatballs, served with garlic bread and ricotta. It was previously only available on flights out of LAX and will now be offered on select First Class routes out of West and Southwest airports, from Anchorage to Austin, and on Delta One on flights departing from CVG, MSP, LAX, MCO, PDX, SEA, SLC and TPA. Meanwhile, new red wine offerings will be launched and Champagne Taittinger will be coming on board for international flights.
Big picture view:
A record number of passengers are expected to fly in 2025, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), indicating that consumers are prioritizing travel and experiences despite persistent U.S. inflation with rising prices on things like groceries and gasoline. As a result, airlines are working to enhance passenger satisfaction in flight. According to recent surveys, over 70% of travelers consider in-air meals a significant factor in their overall experience.
Uber Eats Shake Shack BOGO offer
What's next:
In celebration of the expanded offering and Uber joining the Delta SkyMiles program, the carrier said the three companies are offering a special "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," Delta said on Tuesday. The offer runs through March 14.
