Elevating In-Flight Dining: Shake Shack and Delta Air Lines Expand Partnership

In a move that’s set to delight travelers, Delta Air Lines has announced an exciting expansion of its in-flight dining experience in partnership with Shake Shack. Building on the success of their initial collaboration in Boston, where over 10,000 burgers were served to passengers, the airline is now bringing the beloved Shake Shack Cheeseburger to even more routes starting in spring 2025. First Class passengers on flights exceeding 900 miles from Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle will now have the opportunity to enjoy this iconic burger, complete with fixings like tomato, lettuce, ShackSauce, chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie. This partnership is part of Delta’s broader effort to elevate the in-flight experience by collaborating with brands that resonate with its customers. Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Service at Delta, emphasized the airline’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, stating, “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.”

A Tasty Bonus for SkyMiles Members: Uber Eats Promotion

To celebrate the expansion of their in-flight menu, Delta and Shake Shack are teaming up with Uber Eats to offer SkyMiles Members a special promotion. From March 4 through March 14, members who have joined the partnership waitlist or sign up by March 6 will receive a “buy one Shackburger, get one free” offer pre-loaded to their Uber Eats accounts. This promotion not only rewards loyal SkyMiles Members but also highlights the growing synergy between Delta’s in-flight offerings and its partners on the ground. The collaboration with Uber Eats is just one example of how Delta is creatively enhancing the travel experience for its passengers, both in the air and on the ground.

Shake Shack’s First-Ever Combo Meal: A Delicious Deal

While Shake Shack is thrilling travelers at 30,000 feet, it’s also making headlines on the ground with the launch of its first-ever combo meal. Available nationwide through March 15, the meal includes the fan-favorite fried chicken sandwich, crinkle-cut fries, and a small soda—all for just $9.99. This affordable and satisfying option is perfect for those looking to enjoy a quick, high-quality meal without breaking the bank. The combo meal is a testament to Shake Shack’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, whether you’re dining at one of their locations or enjoying their offerings on a Delta flight.

This is just the beginning of several onboard updates the airline has planned for spring 2025, showcasing its dedication to keeping the in-flight experience fresh and exciting. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself to a little luxury, Delta’s new offerings are sure to enhance your journey.

Expanded Menu Options for All Passengers: Special Meals and Fan-Favorite Dishes

These meals can be requested through MyTrips or by contacting Delta at least 24 hours before the flight. Additionally, the airline is expanding the availability of its popular Jon & Vinny’s meatballs, served with garlic bread and ricotta, to more routes. Previously available only on flights out of Los Angeles, this fan-favorite entrée will now be offered on select routes departing from West and Southwest airports, as well as in Delta One on several domestic and international flights. These updates ensure that every passenger, regardless of their dietary preferences or ticket class, can enjoy a satisfying and delicious meal.

Raising a Glass: New Wines and Champagne on Delta Flights

For those looking to toast their travels in style, Delta is introducing a selection of new wines and champagnes. The airline has partnered with Champagne Taittinger to offer its high-quality, delicately balanced champagne on international Delta One flights. Known for its fine bubbles and elegant aromas, this addition is sure to elevate the premium travel experience. Domestically, passengers can enjoy the Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon and Nortico Alvarihno Branco, while international flights will feature the Bodegas Riojanas Vina Albina Reserva Rioja and Prejuges Chardonnay from the Languedoc region.
