I am flying in March in paid J from LHR to AKL via HKG (return) ticketed with CX. The legs between LHR and HKG are operated by CX, with the legs between HKG and AKL operated by Air NZ.

Will I be able to use the Cathay lounges in Hong Kong or is there an alternative lounge that I will have to use? I have seen some reports that you have to use the Thai Lounge in Hong Kong on the outward leg which looks less than inspiring to say the least but would appreciate confirmation if anyone knows.
