Shake Shack is broadening its collaboration with Delta Air Lines by introducing its signature cheeseburger to first-class cabins at significant airports in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle. This meal, available on flights over 900 miles, features the classic American cheese cheeseburger served with signature toppings and chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie. First-class travelers can conveniently order the meal via the Fly Delta app or an email link up to a week before departure, securing their meal for any upcoming travel.
In a further boost to the partnership, Delta and Shake Shack are joining forces with Uber to offer a buy-one-get-one-free promotion on Uber Eats. Delta SkyMiles members and new sign-ups by March 6 can access this deal through the Delta X Uber waitlist, earning additional SkyMiles points and perks.
