It used to be under Spend Miles -> Partners -> Airline.
But the award chart for say, Malaysia Airlines, has disappeared !
Is there another site?

Well, it ain't here and I went thru the 'new' Virgin Atlantic site, then clicked above for Flying Club. Signed in. Then to Spend Miles. And then to Flying Club partners,and finally at Malaysia Airlines -

Malaysia Airlines is joining oneworld. I thought the end of the partnership was announced a while ago.
Seems to be another of those things that function differently if signed in via the UK site as opposed to the US and Canada site. Guy Betsy, can you temporarily change to the UK site to see the page?

I guess until they officially have a join date, the partnership is still going on !

I believe most of the partner award charts have been removed from the US website for some reason. However, if you switch over to the UK version, most of them are still there.

Can we use VS miles to redeem one way award on Malaysian Airlines?

You still can, although whether you'll get availability is up in the air! We all expect Malaysian to cease to be a partner when they formally join OneWorld, but should still honour any redemptions.
The only way to find out is to call VS.

I got 60k virgin atlantic flying club miles which i may transfer to hilton or AA.
I am in US and it doesnt fly to many cities here and only few international flights but i see it has partner airlines like US AIRWAYS.
How do I use flying club miles on partner airlines?
I just wanted to check partner airlines like gulf and US airways using flying club miles.
thanks

What about Virgin AMERICA -they are also partners?
You need to do some detailed research yourself so look at the 'partners' section on the VS website to check the terms and conditions and redemption rates to find what is best for you.
BTW there is no way on earth that you can move VS miles to AA !

60 k FC miles converts to 120k Hhonors points converts to 18k AA miles.

60 k FC miles converts to 120k Hhonors points converts to 18k AA miles.
i think the way it works is transfer to HILTON and than to AA but just 18k aa miles.
Hilton 120k points for 60k flying club miles sounds a lot and good but most hilton hotels and many cities and any date has no points award availabilityand those they accept points shows more than 40k points a night and cash price is around $130.
I see the partner airlines like US AIRWAYS and golf air. US AIRWAYS maybe a good option for domestic flight and the gulf airline for international travel.
Have to study how using miles at partner airline works!

But it is not a direct transfer from VS to AA though which is what you seemed to be suggesting in your original comment about it.
Only you can judge if that is a good conversion rate though.
