Passport validity help!

I am in a pickle. We are in Bali and were due to fly to Thailand in 2 days. We are travelling on British passports and visa exempt. However, saw my daughters passport will be less than 6 months left on it (by a few days). We are on Asia X., and looks like they have a hard rule that they do not let people on planes who have less than 6 months left. Even if they did....it's very unclear what the Thai rules are. Different official websites say different things. Tried the Thai embassy and they had no idea either.

So we're looking to see where we can get to, so we can eventually get home. We are thinking of flying out of Bali to Hong Kong on Cathay. From looking at Hong Kong Immigration looks like no problem. The question I have before I buy the ticket is what is Cathay's policy on this - will they let us on the plane? I'm really worried about buying the ticket and losing yet more money if anyone has any thoughts or guidance, I would really appreciate it. I did try calling Cathay but the call centre seemed generally puzzled by the question and could only talk to the immigration rules not my question.

Thank you!!
