If airlines offer this redemption option, it can help create the "Green Mileage Run": First, you collect enough EQMs to get the elite status. Then, you donate enough award miles to offset the emission.
Some airlines allow you to offset your CO2 emissions via various carbon-offsetting schemes. if you ever believe in such schemes, then if you buy mileage run ticket and pay for CO2 offsetting then your MR will be officially considered "carbon-neutral"... isnt it?
