United Airlines Supports TRIO Members

The TRIO/United Airlines Travel Program is a cooperative arrangement between TRIO and the United Airlines Charity Miles Program. It provides for TRIO members and family members cost-free air transportation when travel is transplant-related.

Update: To date, the program has made dozens of trips possible! We're delighted with the program's success, but our miles available are getting low! Please help spread the word: we desperately need people to donate United Airlines Frequent Flyer Miles.  Call United at 800/421-4655.

Eligibility for use of the Travel Program is based upon financial need. Specifically, use of the Travel Program must be for one of the following purposes:

• Medical treatment or consultation prescribed by the physician of an organ transplant recipient or candidate, or
• Travel by an organ donor for the purpose of donation or for medical consultation or treatment which is a prerequisite for donation, or
• One person accompanying a transplant recipient or candidate who must travel and is unable to travel alone, or
• Donor family member(s), on a case-by-case basis.

For more information about applying to the program, please call TRIO at 1-800-TRIO-386 or click here to review information. To donate miles, please call United Airlines at 800-421-4655.
