While peanuts and pretzels have usually been the snack of choice for in-flight services, Delta Airlines has decided to take things up a notch for its customers and make the delectable Shake Shack burger a part of its in-flight menu.
"Mark your calendars. Starting December 1st, we’re teaming up with @shakeshack to elevate your onboard experience. First stop: Select First Class flights out of Boston."
The burgers will be available on flights starting December 1st and for now, will only be available for those flying out of Boston. However, Delta announced that it has plans to further expand this collaboration within the US soon enough.
Speaking about this collaboration, Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Servicing said:
"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."
She also spoke about how Shake Shack's people-first approach matched the philosophies on which Delta's services are based, making this collaboration one for the ages.
"However, our partnership with Shake Shack goes beyond the burger. Shake Shack’s people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighborhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve."
Michael Kark, President of Global Licensing at Shake Shack commented on how Shake Shack was committed to serving their clients even when they are 35,000 feet above the ground:
"Taking our beloved cheeseburger to new heights, Shake Shack is proud to partner with Delta as we elevate the in-flight dining and hospitality experience for travelers across the country."
Here's how you can enjoy a delicious Shake Shack burger on your next Delta Airlines flight
Although the introduction of Shake Shack burgers as part of the Delta Airlines in-flight menu has gotten many excited, it is worth noting that the exclusive menu will only be available to those flying out of Boston in first class or flying over 900 miles.
If you fall in the aforementioned criteria, you can place your order for the burger 7 days in advance through the Fly Delta app or through the link that will be sent to them via email.
The cheeseburger will be made of 100% Angus beef, topped with cheese, and served on a potato toast bun.
If you're flying anywhere out of Boston via Delta Airlines after December 1st, make sure to enjoy a delicious Shake Shack cheeseburger while you're up in the air!
