I will be flying to the UK at the end of this month with Cathay Pacific. Other than Asia Miles and Qantas, are there any other FF programs I can credit my flights too? Or is Asia Miles the best one?
Where to Credit Points for Cathay Pacific Flight

Really depends on how often and where you fly. For most people I would think crediting to QFF would be best - FF points won't be that significant, but the status points should get you a fair way towards Gold.
Having status with an Australian airline will (again, for most people) have more use.
You should check the code for your ticket. Certain discount economy tickets with CP allow Asia points but provide no QFF mile or status points. Some codes provide for neither QFF orAsia points whilst other economy (and above) tickets provide for either. Ultimately it is a question of whether you are likely to do more Oneworld (ie QF, CP, BA, AA, JP, QR, etc) flying than Cp flying. Finally airline points is getting more like a mugs game every year with the availability to f point upgrades and flights diminishing along with the 'value' of the points.
how long will you be in UK for? you can also credit to british airways
If you fly to mainly Asian countries Asia Miles is quite good.
You can credit the miles to most airlines FF programs that are partnered with Cathay.
