I am looking at purchasing an itinerary IND-ORD-HKG-MEL in business class. If I buy the ticket from Cathay Pacific it is considerably less expensive than on the AA site. All flights are Cathay except IND-ORD.

Is it correct that I should get Advantage miles/points for such Cathay-ticketed flights? Is there anything special I need to do to make that happen?
Yes, you will earn miles and LP on CX ticketed flights assuming you book an eligible fare code. All you need to do is just make sure to include your AA# on the reservation when you book the ticket. The CX earning tables and eligible fare codes are below:
