How the Qantas status changes will affect you
Feb 27, 2026, 03:29 PMThe new rules don't seem to say anything about status credits on OneWorld partner airlines. They are usually there, but not as much as with QF, and for some airlines (e.g. Malaysia) only half the credits are awarded compared to other partners.

SeatGuru has shut down, so is there an alternative?
Nov 05, 2025, 06:55 PMI agree with MKS11 -- I just use the seat maps for the aircraft type provided by the airline. It's not hard to see that the bulkhead seat in J-class, or the aisle seat nearest the toilets, are best avoided.
