American Airlines vs. Delta vs. United: The Ultimate Airline Burger Battle

American Airlines Sliders

• ✈️ American Airlines offers a pre-orderable meal in First Class featuring two beef sliders with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions.
• 🍔 The sliders are served on a pretzel bun and come with a side salad, cheesecake, and French fries.
• 😋 While the texture was noted as a bit mushy, the flavor was better than expected, with the caramelized onions and pretzel bun being highlights.
• 🍟 The French fries required salt and had a mix of sogginess and crispiness, but were deemed passable.
• 💡 To get this meal, passengers need to book First Class, pre-order the sliders, and fly on a mainline aircraft after 9:46 AM.

Delta Air Lines Shake Shack Burger

• ✈️ Delta Air Lines partners with Shake Shack to offer a burger in First Class, which can be pre-ordered via email.
• 🍔 The burger is served with crinkle-cut potato chips instead of fries.
• 😋 The taste was described as "pretty freaking good," though not quite as good as a ground burger, with the sauce and cheese bits being particularly praised.
• ⚠️ The bun was noted as not toasted and the bottom bun was greasy and tough from heating.
• 💰 First Class tickets on Delta for this route can range from $339 to nearly $1,000.

United Airlines Burger Fiasco

• ✈️ United Airlines offers a burger for purchase in economy class as part of their "Buy on Board" program.
• ❌ Unfortunately, the burger was not available on the flight, leading to a complete failure to test it.
• ⚠️ The flight was long enough and departed at the right time, yet the burgers were not loaded onto the plane.
• 💡 The experience highlights the unreliability of food service in economy class, with a recommendation to bring your own food.
• 😔 United did not deliver on their advertised offering, resulting in a disappointing experience for the passengers.
