Any help on understanding this better would be great .. Thank you Malc

Hi,

Generally, you cannot transfer asia miles/ avios between programmes ( you can transfer avios between QR and BA however iirc)
If you have joined the QR FFP and used the number on your Cathay booking you will get QR points and Avios per the QR earning table.
You can then redeem your QR avios on flights etc ( ie cathay flights at a later date ) subject to availability.
I would check that QR would be the best programme for you going forward based on location/choice of airlines routes and flying patterns)

Regards

TBS
