How AAdvantage members can support the National Park Foundation

FORT WORTH, Texas — As the United States prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, American Airlines is proud to help connect customers to the history, beauty and spirit that define the nation.

In celebration of its partnership with the National Park Foundation (NPF), American is inviting AAdvantage® members to donate miles to the airline’s Miles for Our Planet program, which helps fund preservation efforts while inspiring more people to explore the country’s iconic natural wonders.

All contributions throughout the month of July will benefit NPF and its work to protect and enhance national parks.

Since becoming the first official airline partner of the NPF in 2021, American has expanded access to the outdoors for travelers across the country. With more than 500 flights to destinations near national parks — including Joshua Tree, the Grand Canyon and Glacier National Park — the airline makes it easier than ever to experience these landscapes and the stories they hold.

“As our country approaches its 250th anniversary, there’s no better way to reflect on the American story than by experiencing the places that have shaped it,” said American’s Chief Marketing Officer Caroline Clayton. “National parks are some of our greatest treasures, and we’re proud to partner with the National Park Foundation to help more people experience them.”

Travelers can also participate in the NPF’s summer sweepstakes, Adventure Awaits, for a chance to win 500,000 AAdvantage® miles and $10,000 cash from Forbright® Bank to plan a trip of a lifetime. Visit the National Park Foundation website to learn more.
