Mileage Plus Charity Miles Program
Since 1996, our customers have partnered with us to generously donate more than 1 billion miles to meet the urgent travel needs of children, families, humanitarian aid workers and volunteers. Now, you too can get involved!

We invite you to support select nonprofit organizations with whom we partner through the Mileage Plus Charity Miles Program. Through the program, Mileage Plus members can donate a minimum of 1,000 miles. Your help will enable us to provide air travel for families, patients or staff traveling for treatment, research and disaster response. We encourage you to make a difference by supporting our program members.
