Delta Air Lines and Shake Shack are extending their partnership to First Class flights over 900 miles leaving Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia and Seattle from 4 March, following the success of the collaboration’s debut at the end of 2024 on flights from Boston.
“Customers are raving about the Shake Shack experience onboard our flights after serving more than 10,000 burgers out of Boston since launching in December,” said Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Service. “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 – whether that’s making your favourite cheeseburger available at 35,000 feet, or ensuring you have a variety of fresh meals to choose from that fuel you on your adventure.”
The Shake Shack Cheeseburger comes with crisps, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie. Meanwhile, to celebrate the airline’s 100-year anniversary, Biscoff has partnered with Delta to provide the Biscoff Sandwich biscuit to First Class passengers, complete with limited edition Centennial packaging.
Jon & Vinny’s braised meatballs are another menu expansion, having been served for eight years on flights leaving LAX. Now, First Class passengers on select routes from West and Southwest airports and Delta One customers from several U.S airports will have access to the dish, served in marinara sauce and paired with garlic bread and ricotta.
The airline’s Special Meals offerings are also being updated for First Class and Delta One passengers departing from the U.S. The meals, made for people with dietary restrictions or preferences, are made fresh in-house and available to order in advance through MyTrips.
“Every customer should feel a sense of belonging when traveling with us – regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences,” commented Laster. “This programme is just one of the ways we are providing consistent and elevated options for all customers.”
Looking at the beverage side of the menu, Delta is revamping its seasonal wine list, with the following options: Champagne Taittinger, with flavours of peach, white flowers, vanilla pod, brioche, fresh fruit and honey; Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, a full-bodied Bordeaux style red wine; Bodegas Riojanas Vina Albina Reserva Rioja, with notes of rich plum and raspberry with a hint of spice; Nortico Alvarihno Branco, a light wine that pairs well with seafood and buttery chicken dishes; and Prejuges Chardonnay, a versatile white wine from the Languedoc.
For customers who desire a wider variety of non-alcoholic drinks and mixers, new beverages such as Q Hibiscus Ginger Beer, Lyre’s Amalfi Italian Spritz, Filthy Margarita Mix, and Red Bull Energy Drink are also coming to the cabin.
