I'm not a member of CX AsiaMiles or OneWorld.

So this is probably obvious, but I'm getting that I should open an AA account and let the travel agent know to change the ticket so that is the FF number on my ticket reservation?

Yeah depends what you want with it. J will earn across OW. On AA it'll give you a good amount but nothing spectacular. On BA it'll give you enough for a few direct domestic Y flights that are less than 651 miles (if you live on the East Coast I'd go BA since the same miles on BA will go further than the same on AA - BA uses a distance-based program compared to AA's region based).

Of course if you're chasing status the calculus changes.
