When you think of meals suitable for first class, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you answered a fast food cheeseburger, you may have something in common with the folks at Delta Air Lines.
Starting next month, cheeseburgers from Shake Shack will make their way on the first class menu on select Delta flights. Delta executives explain the decision in the company’s most recent press release.

Delta Air Lines will soon debut the signature Shake Shack ShackBurger for first class passengers. These burgers will first become available on flights of over 900 miles in distance departing Boston Logan Airport starting 1 December. The airline plans to introduce the burger to more markets ‘throughout 2025’.
The ShackBurger features a 100% Angus beef patty with cheese, tomato, lettuce, and trademark ShackSauce in between two toasted potato buns. Customers can also opt to order a plain Shake Shack Cheeseburger.
Customers also receive chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie along with their burger.

Delta Air Lines Managing Director of Onboard Service Stephanie Laster explained the decision to introduce the burger in first class.
“A delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food…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,” Laster said. “Shake Shack’s people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighborhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve.”
How to Order a Shake Shack Burger First Class
First class travelers on participating Delta flights will need to pre-select the burger up to 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. The option to pre-select meals will be available the week before the flight.
Customers can access the pre-select menu through Delta’s Fly Delta mobile app. From there, customers will be able to choose a Shake Shack Cheeseburger. Extra toppings will also be available to upgrade the cheeseburger into the ShackBurger.
Alternatively, customers can access the menu on a web browser. Customers must find a specific email from Delta and click on the link to get to this menu and make a meal selection.
Delta has also recently updated its seasonal wine selection for Main Cabin passengers and up. Travelers will be able to enjoy a flavorful new wine along with a Shake Shack burger, Butternut Squash Ravioli, or another Delta delicacy on the menu.
