The partnership represents a significant upgrade to Delta's in-flight dining program, which has seen burgers become one of their most requested menu items.

Is It Worth It?

The Shake Shack partnership has proved immensely popular, with Bloomberg reporting that the burgers now account for nearly 15% of the approximately 4,500 hot meals prepared daily at Delta's Atlanta kitchen. The meal features a 100% Angus beef patty topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun, with ShackSauce, lettuce, and tomato served on the side to maintain freshness during the flight.
