Airline Mile Donations
Donate your miles and make an impact! Simply log in to your airline’s loyalty program, select the “Donate Miles” option, and choose a charity from the list. Most programs require donations in 1,000-mile increments, so even a small donation can go a long way. It’s an easy way to put unused miles to work and help those in need.
