This has been discussed before.

Since you paid nothing when you got the miles... ie. the airfare was not increased because you got miles, you cannot easily deduct the value when you donate.

You cannot use a value of what the ticket/miles would have cost.

If, however, the IRS taxed FF miles it would be a different story... but we do NOT want that!!!!
