Delta and Shake Shack kicked off a partnership at the end of last year that brought the burger chain’s famous ShackBurgers to the skies.

At that time, the burgers were only available on select flights from Boston, but now the 2 companies are bringing the popular meal option to more flights from more of the airline’s hubs — now available when departing from 12 cities.

Here’s what you should know.

Delta and Shake Shack Expand Partnership

When Delta and Shake Shack originally teamed up, the inflight ShackBurgers were only available on flights from Boston (BOS). But, as of June 3, 2025, first-class flyers on flights of 900 miles or more can choose the ShackBurger as their entree when departing from 12 cities.

“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 inflight experience.”

This week, Delta announced Shake Shack burgers as an option for departures from:

This collaboration between Delta and Shake Shack builds on the existing relationship between Delta and Union Square Hospitality Group, which has the same founder as the burger chain: Danny Meyer.

Fans of Shake Shack need no introduction to the famous cheeseburger, but passengers who are unfamiliar will likely be very impressed by the quality, thanks to the 100% Angus beef patty on a toasted potato bun topped with the famous ShackSauce.

Passengers can customize their burgers with toppings including tomato, lettuce, and more on the side. The meal also includes a Caesar salad, chips, and a dark chocolate brownie.

This option will be available to passengers up to 24 hours in advance in the Fly Delta app (iOS, Android) or via a link in their email starting 7 days before departure on flights 900 miles or longer.

Final Thoughts

Delta has been busy tweaking and improving its inflight food and beverage offerings on many flights. The most exciting news, however, is that it’s expanding its partnership with Shake Shack to more flights from more cities. Passengers in first class can now choose ShackBurgers when departing from 12 cities, thanks to the latest update.

This collaboration has clearly been a hit with flyers, so we can only expect (and hope) that the famous burger will soon be available at even more Delta hubs.
