Frequent-flier miles can make an impact

Travelers who have more frequent-flier miles than they can realistically redeem for flights and upgrades might want to consider another option – donating the miles. Most airlines’ frequent-flier programs have some sort of charitable donation capability, and the donor can select the individual charity they would like to support.
