One of the most popular fast food brands is partnering with Delta to serve its burgers on flights—Shake Shack burgers will now be available on flights going out of Boston starting December 1. Soon, other U.S. markets will be able to devour the tasty burgers, too. Cue happy rejoicing in the E terminal!

Burgers have always been one of the top things passengers order, says Delta’s managing director of onboard service, Stephanie Laster. Now, with the collaboration with Shake Shack, the burger in flight will be much more craveable. The burger will be a 100 percent Angus beef patty topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun. Passengers can customize it with lettuce, tomato and the fabulous ShackSauce, all on the side. The ShackSauce is a slightly spicy combination of ketchup and mayonnaise with Dijon, pickle juice and cayenne pepper—or so say those on the internet trying to recreate it at home. When you order the burger on Delta, it comes in a meal that includes potato chips, a Caesar salad and a dark chocolate brownie for dessert.
Passengers can order it via pre-select on the Delta app or through a link in the flight confirmation email and edit their selection up to 24 hours in advance. You can order the meal seven days before your departure and start thinking about it all week. Other happy thoughts? Delta is updating its seasonal wine offerings and adding new snacks. It is always fun to peruse the menu and make the flight that much more enjoyable.
