Partnership Details
The partnership is set to kick off on December 1 and will allow first-class passengers on long-distance flights to pre-order Shake Shack cheeseburgers to be served in-flight. According to Delta’s managing director of onboard service Stephanie Laster, “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.”
