2:1 - BMI
Obviously 1:1 via Iberia is great as long as it lasts. I also still rate the Singapore transfer for anyone who is stuffed for Star Alliance miles now that BA is taking their BMI miles. Malaysian should also come into OneWorld in the next year or so, not sure what their redemption chart looks like.
