Since it's under 500 miles from MLE-CMB, does anyone have a guess as to how much a one way MLE-CMB in business class would be using Avios after it joins One World?

But I expect the Avios needed would the same as for a flight of the same distance with any other OW airline
And BTW - BA itself starts flying MLE-CMB-MLE from 15 April - three times a week as a tag onto its LGW-MLE flight

As oneworld is/was very poor between Europe and Asia , or within Asia, it's a good move that MH,UL and QR join.
*aliance has much more presence with LH,LX,OS,TG and SQ ( + all these Chinese and Japanese airlines ), specially between Europe and S.E.A.. And after the sun has gone down over BD, and BA swallowed my 3 million miles and changed them to ADIOS, I have some hope we can use them sooner or later on these new ow members.

Generally, yes. One of the basic elements of an alliance is that you can earn and redeem awards on partner airlines. There may be restrictions on the class of service and on availability, but you should have some options.
