Thanks!

Hi, my friend's wife tried to transfer her Amex points to his BA Avios account, but not only the transfer didnt happen, but they actually transferred it to her Avios account (they credited to right account number based on address). So that may happen with Asia miles too.
IMHO use transfer the Avion points to AA instead (check out userbcpoints.com), as they dont charge Fuel surcharge on CX flights, and keep your Amex points for other use.
Or transfer her Avion to BA Avios, your Amex MR to Avios too (link both accounts as family account) as then you can use them together.
