Hello One, this is UNO,
I think that is a marvelous idea, however; I don't have any sky miles to donate, but if I did, I would gladly share them with anyone in need. Also, you might want to expand this idea to other forums just to get some feed back and possible donations. Please note that, I have noticed that those of us with commonalities tend to stick together. But either way, get the word out, the worst that can happen is some one saying no. The best that can happen is blessings coming in from all sides.
Good luck to ya

Well, I have an idea that might help us both.

I have 25,000 skymiles and I also have a friend who works at Delta and has buddy passes.

I am trying to go see my hubby also, but alas, I have no money. And I mean NONE. lol.

My friend let me know that I can give him $175 for a pass and I can leave asap and just pay the taxes on the ticket. I checked and the taxes are around $190 to $200 for RT.

Anyway, if you are up for a deal, let me know and we can put something together for both of us to go on the cheap cheap.

I used all of mine to go to Ghana in November. I'm borrowing what little my dad has left to get my fiance here after he gets the visa. I'm sorry I can't help right now.

I have 13,603 miles with Northwest but they are partners with Delta so I think they can be used on Delta flights.

My miles are with US Airways. Although I have enough for a free ticket, I am saving it so that when we go to Cameroon hopefully we only have to pay for one flight and not two. Otherwise, if I could help you I would.

This ends up being a lossing thing . If someone collects 60k miles to get a cheap/free ticket where are they ever going to get the miles to pay back those that donated miles ? It smells like selling Amway products to me. The people at the end of the donation tree end up losing their miles and getting nothing.

you took it wrong, the person that helps other is buying there miles or returning there miles to another .. nothings free.. its just helping each other out .. figured some one think negative.. and some people have a good heart and just wnat to help others.. there are soem peopl like that you know.. I will have almost 40,000 mile son this next trip.. to share with some one ok............. it wa an idear does not mena u have to take part.. I have abig heart love to help others and like to get help at times too.. Don't you??

Hey one love, my friend only has one buddy pass left and that is gonna probably be gone by the end of this week (sat if not sun). heck it might be gone already..

Anyway, if you really want to do something about this, I suggest you make a move on this, other wise it is gone.

Sorry to be blunt but buddy passes don't sit around for long.

I have a 119,000 miles with Sky Team. I usually use them for upgrades. Frim personal experience transfering miles is not cheap you have to pay for someone to give you miles; the cost of the transfer is $250.00 service fee plus $0.01 a mile. So, to transfer 15,000 miles from someones account is $400.00.

actually the person with the miles can call delta and have a delta rep directly issue the ticket for the other person and simply use the miles. It only cost about 75-80 dollars. Otherwise the person with the miles can also go online to delta.com, issue an award ticket in the other person's name and not pay anything except the taxes on the ticket (which must be paid anyway).

Hope this helps.

By the way, one love my offer still stands.

SkyTeam needs like 100,000 miles for a ticket to Africa. The person issuing the ticket needs to have enough banked miles to trade for the ticket.

Does Delta provide meals on their flights? Are there any perks? I only know British airways. I was checking out prices and they are more expensive to me than BA put if my husband comes alone I want him using delta
