Delta to offer Shake Shack burgers on more flights
Delta Air Lines' expansion of its partnership with the burger chain means more first class passengers will be able to enjoy Shake Shack burgers on flights from various U.S. cities.
Fox - 10 Phoenix
Shack Shack burgers are now available on Delta Air Lines flights to four more cities this year, the airline announced this week.
As of Tuesday, the fast food chain's burgers are available in first class on flights over 900 miles departing from Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle.
The move comes after a December initial launch out of Boston. Since then, the airline has served more than 10,000 burgers in the sky, according to Delta Managing Director of Onboard Service Stephanie Laster.
'The response has been incredible and we're thrilled to expand this partnership, giving even more Delta travelers the chance to enjoy Shake Shack along their journey," Shake Shack President of Global Licensing Michael Kark said.
What does the Shack Shack burger come with on Delta flight?
Sorry, first-class passengers: No fries come with the burger.
But the cheeseburger is a 100% Angus beef patty topped with cheese served on a toasted potato bun. Customers can customize it with toppings including tomato, lettuce and ShackSauce, all served on the side.
The meal also includes chips, a Caesar salad and a dark chocolate brownie, according to a press release from both companies.
'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 favorite cheeseburger available at 35,000 feet, or ensuring you have a variety of fresh meals to choose from that fuel you on your adventure," Laster said.

Airlines hate this sneaky travel hack that can save flyers serious money when booking flights, expert says
Although prices are way down for airfare this summer — there's no harm in wanting to save an extra buck where you can. Founder of the Cheap Holiday Expert and podcast host, Chelsea Dickenson, recently shared on an episode of her pod, Passports Please!, that 'skiplagging' is a travel hack that allows travelers to fly for cheap to long-haul hotspots. 'Skiplagging is when a passenger books a flight with a layover but intentionally gets off at the layover city instead of continuing to the final destination,' Dicksenson explained to her co-host, James Robinson, in a clip from the episode that was posted to TikTok. Advertisement 'And that is because the layover city is usually cheaper to fly to as part of a longer route.' For instance, booking an indirect flight from New York to California, with a layover in Texas, is cheaper than flying directly from NYC to the Lone Star State. Advertisement So a traveler would book the longer flight to California, get off the plane in Texas, stay there and just miss the second flight to California — since they intended to stay in Texas originally. While this is a smart hack — it's not foolproof and airlines 'absolutely hate it cause you're wasting a seat on one of their flights.' And as a result, there are consequences. Travelers can entirely skip a flight and just stay in the layover city — which is often cheaper than booking a direct flight somewhere far. luengo_ua – Advertisement 'You can get blacklisted by doing it. Some people have been totally told they cannot book with airlines if they've done it repeatedly,' Dickenson said on her podcast. Many people in the comment section seemed to support this travel tip — and brought up valid points regarding airlines' snooty attitude towards it. 'If airlines hate it, then make the prices make sense…' someone pointed out. 'You can get blacklisted by doing it. Some people have been totally told they cannot book with airlines if they've done it repeatedly,' Dickenson said on her podcast. John N – Advertisement 'You are not wasting a seat cause you paid for it,' quipped someone else. 'Delta all the time. Know folks who live in Atlanta and always book Delta to anywhere because the layover is 95% of the time in Atlanta,' a comment read. A few others were concerned about luggage when skiplagging. 'My first thought is. This would only work for passengers with hand luggage only,' one person wrote. 'Obviously, people who do this don't have checked-in luggage,' chimed in someone else. And someone else offered some great advice to avoid getting in trouble from an airline for making skiplagging a habit. 'To avoid being blacklisted show up late to the gate and pretend to be upset that you missed your connecting flight,' a person wrote. 'The airline will cancel your return flight if you do this,' someone hypothesized.

Earn up to 110,000 bonus miles with a new Delta SkyMiles credit card
American Express and Delta are out with all-new welcome bonus offers across three personal credit cards within the Delta SkyMiles suite: Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card: Earn 80,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card: Earn 90,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card: Earn 100,000 bonus miles after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. There are also new offers on Delta business cards: Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card: Earn 90,000 bonus miles after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card: Earn 100,000 bonus miles after spending $8,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card: Earn 110,000 bonus miles after spending $12,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. With over 290 destinations across six continents and more than 200 million customers served in 2024, Delta is one of the most well-known airlines worldwide. And you could reduce much of the upfront cost of flying to one of Delta's global destinations if you're able to take advantage of these generous sign-up bonuses. It depends on how you redeem the miles, but we value Delta SkyMiles at an average of 1.18 cents each. That means 100,000 miles equals about $1,180. However, as with many airline credit cards, the exact value of your miles depends on how you use them. Since Delta uses dynamic pricing, you can see different values with each redemption. You can find plenty of value with 100,000 (give or take, depending on the welcome offer) Delta SkyMiles. This is especially true when accounting for the TakeOff 15 benefit, which provides an automatic 15% discount on eligible award flights for Delta SkyMiles cardholders. Let's take a look at some possible redemptions. You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Auckland (AKL) for 38,200 miles. The cash price for the same flight is $1,341, giving you a redemption value of about 3.5 cents per mile ($1,341 / 38,200 = 0.035104). You'll still have plenty of miles left to figure out your return flight, which could mean including a stop in Australia after visiting Hobbiton (and while you're in the area). This flight from Salt Lake City (SLC) to Mexico City (MEX) will only set you back 26,300 miles. The redemption value for this flight is about 1.5 cents per mile, which is better than our average valuation. And with miles to spare, you can bring some friends or work on covering the return leg home. You don't have to get fancy with your redemptions; a short flight will do just fine if it saves you money, especially if it's a route you frequently take. Consider this example: A flight between Atlanta (ATL) and Miami (MIA) that costs 8,300 miles or $117. With 100,000 miles, you could take this flight 12 times, giving you plenty of opportunities for vacations or visiting friends and family. This particular flight has a redemption value of about 1.4 cents per mile. See which flavor — Gold, Platinum, or Reserve — of Delta SkyMiles card is the best fit for you. Consider which Delta SkyMiles business card is right for you if you run a small best Delta SkyMiles credit card for you depends on your goals and spending habits. If you only fly occasionally, maybe a few times per year, we recommend the Delta SkyMiles Gold Amex Card. This card has the lowest annual fee but still provides one of the best benefits: a free checked bag. With only a few roundtrip flights, you can offset the annual fee in saved baggage charges. If you travel a lot, a card like the Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex Card or Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex Card may make more sense. These cards have higher annual fees, but they also provide more benefits. For example, the Delta Reserve Amex Card offers Delta Sky Club Access (at least 15 visits each Medallion year), which could come in handy the more you find yourself in airports. Business owners can apply for the personal or business versions of the Delta SkyMiles credit cards. The business credit cards are largely the same as their personal variants, but their welcome offers require increased spending, so keep that in mind when making your decision. All the Delta SkyMiles credit cards associated with these new welcome offers have annual fees. If you want to avoid an annual fee at all costs, consider no-annual-fee credit Disclosure: The information in this article has not been reviewed or approved by any advertiser.
