Can you transfer airline miles to someone else's account? The simple answer is yes, you can transfer miles. For a fee, and with some limitations. Most major frequent flyer rewards programs set a cap on the number of miles that can be transferred between accounts.
For example, United only allows 15, miles per year to be transferred and charges 1. These limitations apply even for immediate family members, like spouses or children. The table below offers a breakdown of major airline fees and mileage transfer caps. In rare circumstances, points transfers are not allowed at all. For example, Southwest Airlines, which offers one of the most flexible frequent flyer rewards programs of any major airlines, does not allow points transfers.
This is due, in part, to the fact that they allow account holders to make changes to their flights up to the last minute at no charge. This includes transferring a ticket into another passenger's name.
In general, the value of your frequent flyer miles is less than the transfer cost per mile, but some airlines, such as United, actually charge you more to transfer your miles than the miles are actually worth.

Yes but the transfer ratio is oh so bad. The limitations have to do with the relationships they have with airlines. Determine how many miles you need to transfer to the other person's account.
