Sorry if it's a daft question and thanks in advance.
You can join Asiamiles ffp/marcopolo before the flights and after buying the tickets

But worth considering if Asiamiles/Marco is best ffp long term for your travels

For the upcoming trips, Cathay and Singapore do provide convenient routing and are pleasant places to stopover, I was just wondering which one to go for in an attempt to gather enough miles to be of use.
