Use air miles for friend's ticket
I have enough American Airlines air miles to pay for 1 airfare. I
would like to use them to buy a friend a flight somewhere nice. Is it possible to buy a ticket for someone else using your airmiles? Do I need to accompany that person? |

Is it possible to buy a ticket for someone else using your airmiles? Yes; AA calls it ShAAre Miles. You will pay a fee per 1K or 10K to transfer the miles to another person's account, however. Terrible advice. If you have enough miles, you can book a ticket for another person from your own account, without transferring miles. |

Thanks all, I finally navigated through AA's awful call center (hint: say operator until you get a real live person to talk to) and they did confirm, yes I can buy a ticket with my miles and no I don't need to accompany. Basically, just what you said. |

You can do it at the AA web site also and save the price of the phone call.
