Great news for frequent flyers – a major airline is shaking things up by now offering Shake Shack burgers on certain flights! That's right, you heard it here first – passengers will finally be able to enjoy a juicy cheeseburger while soaring through the clouds.
However, there is a small catch. This exciting new addition to the menu will only be available on Delta Air Lines flights departing from Boston and for those lucky enough to be seated in first class on routes longer than 900 miles. So while not all passengers will have access to this delicious option, those who do will definitely be in for a treat.
But don't worry, you won't have to wait until you're in the air to secure your burger fix. Delta is allowing first class passengers to pre-select their cheeseburger as a meal option through the Delta app or website up to 24 hours before takeoff. And trust us, this burger is worth the pre-planning.
Made with a 100% Angus beef patty and topped with cheese, this burger is served on a perfectly toasted potato bun. And if that's not enough, passengers can also customize their burger with toppings like lettuce, tomato, and the signature ShackSauce. Talk about a mouthwatering meal!
But a burger isn't complete without some sides. The Shake Shack cheeseburger meal on Delta flights will come with chips, a Caesar salad, and a decadent dark chocolate brownie for dessert. It's safe to say that this flight menu just got a major upgrade.
This new food launch is just one part of Delta's partnership with Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack's founder, Danny Meyer. Stephanie Laster, Delta's managing director of onboard service, expressed her excitement for the new addition, stating that "a delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food" and that they are "thrilled to elevate the offering with Shake Shack."
But it's not just the burgers that are getting a makeover. Delta has also rolled out a new menu for all passengers, just in time for the holiday season. New sweet and savory snack options, like Lotus Biscoff Biscuits and SunChips, have been added to the menu. And for those lucky enough to be flying first class, there are even more delicious options available.
In addition to the famous cheeseburger, first class passengers can now enjoy dishes like roasted chicken salad, Pasta Mami spinach and ricotta ravioli, and bacon and eggs for breakfast. And let's not forget about the new wine menu, which features a variety of red, white, rosé, and champagne options.
But not all airlines are expanding their food options. In fact, a major European airline recently announced that they will no longer be serving free food and drinks on board their planes. Starting in 2025, Air France will be implementing a buy-on-board system for food and drinks on some of their short and medium-haul flights.
While this may be a disappointment for some, Air France assures that more hot food options will be available for purchase and that free beverages will still be offered on flights over two and a half hours. Business class passengers will also continue to receive a free in-flight meal and a selection of drinks.
