How do I Donate Air Miles From America West?
US Airways' subsidiary America West allows members of its Dividend Miles rewards program to gift miles to four charities. If you've got more frequent flyer miles then you can use, give the gift of flight to a soldier serving overseas, a sick child or adult or a volunteer serving in international disaster relief. Donating America West miles is easy, and you set the amount of miles you want to donate. You can cover a whole flight, but you don't have to.
