Can he add the FF at a later date I want to surprise him with this booking and well asking him for his number would give it away
Yes; he can add it at check in/ at the gate or even retro claim it after the flight. Transferring miles is charged at $25/1000 miles which is too much IMO but can be worth it in some circumstances. You can still add him as a family bonus member and earn 20% of eligible miles he flies.
