I had not heard about this. Unfortunately I have no miles to donate but I am sure someone does. Please recommend this diary and if you have miles, donate them! And tell everyone you know about it, including your employer if they have staff flying a lot!

Alaska Airlines & Bank of America Team Up to Aid in Relief Efforts
To help support the relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina, Mileage Plan members can donate miles to the American Red Cross. The miles donated will be used for current needs as well as for future disaster and relief efforts.
Donations may be made in any amount, with a minimum of 500 miles, through December 31, 2005. For every 5,000 miles donated, Alaska Airlines will donate 1,000 miles, and Bank of America will donate an additional 1,000 miles.
To donate miles, send an email including your Mileage Plan number, first and last name, and the number of miles you would like to donate to red.cross@alaskaair.com. Or call Mileage Plan at 1-800-564-5669.
