Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - AA miles from Cathay Pacific flights?

Folks, I am flying out of Vancouver to HongKong and continue to Kuala Lumpur, as a round trip.

I do not have Cathay Pacific's Airmiles account, can I ask CX to pour the points to my AA account?

My travel agent said that CX does not really give miles to an AA account, but they are all OneWorld members.

Thanks for any info or answer. The route is YVR-HKG-KUL-HKG-YVR.

a ten second search on AA finds this:

Eligible Cathay Pacific Fare Classes* Class of Service Booked In:

Mileage Accrual Percentage Elite Qualifying Points Per Base Mile Earned

First Class A, F 100% + 50% bonus 1.50
Business Class C, D, I, J 100% + 25% bonus 1.50
Full Fare Economy Class B, Y 100% 1.50
Discount Economy Class H 100% 1.00

so its simple- if you are flying on a code less than H, no mileage accrual

otherwise, have your AA account added to the record, and make sure at checkin that the number is shown on your boarding pass

flites DO NOT require AA codeshare numbers

(if you book AA codeshare you can get mileage credit on lower classes too!)

give your travel agent a training lesson..
