Delta brings Shake Shack to flight passengers, but will the meal have a smooth takeoff?

If you find yourself craving a juicy burger mid-flight, you will soon be able to order one, so long as you're sitting in first class.

Delta Air Lines has partnered with Shake Shack to bring its staple cheeseburgers to 30,000 feet in the air.

The partnership officially launches on Dec. 1 on flights out of Boston with the intention of expanding to other markets in 2025, Delta announced in a recent press release.

"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," Stephanie Laster, managing director of onboard service, said in the release.

The standard food menu item is made up of the restaurant's classic 100% Angus beef patty, potato bun and topped with cheese.

You will be able to customize the meal with tomato, lettuce and the chain's signature Shake Sauce, all served on the side.

The meal is then completed with chips, a side Caesar salad and a dark-chocolate brownie, the release reported.

"At Shake Shack, we're always looking for new and innovative ways to meet our guests where they are, even at 35,000 feet," said Michael Kark, president of global licensing at Shake Shack.

This menu addition will be made available to those in first class who pre-select and can be ordered starting at seven days before the departure date and edited up to 24 hours in advance of takeoff, Delta stated.

The airline realized that burgers were in high demand from customers after recognizing that the comfort food as one of the top-ordered menu items.

"Fast-food partnerships aren't new [as] United once partnered with McDonald's and specially outfitted galley carts to keep the meat warm while cold items were kept cool," Gary Leff, a Virginia-based travel industry expert and author of the blog "View From the Wing," told Fox News Digital.

"What is new here is Delta offering Shake Shack burgers on an ongoing basis, as a pre-order selection for domestic first-class passengers," Leff said.

"It's an option that no one has to take (and that no one should 'get stuck with' as the only item available on board). So that's a good thing!" Leff wrote via email.

Leff said certain challenges could come up when attempting to take a burger into the air, such as reheating the patty in the plane galley.

Problems may include hard buns, burnt cheese and other issues, he said.

The staple burger's side of fries is not included in the Shake Shack meal, which Leff says eludes an issue when it comes to reheating fries while on board.

"They're limiting risk, though, in serving chips rather than fries. Reheating fries is just as tough, and few airlines execute this well," Leff said.
