I would guess three hours.
When I went through on a UL-CX 5-hr connection (before UL joined oneworld) I had bags tagged through and just went to coffee shop for a few hrs then transfer desk where a staffer took my passport down to the checkin desk (wasn't overly happy about it but didnt have a choice) -- actually that might have been KRT.
Thanks for the heads-up. I would be hesitant to let go of my passport to a stranger in airline garb.

If your oneworld status number is in the booking, you should get the appropriate lounge invite along with the bp. Ask if UL can check you through- both are on Amadeus (infact UL bookings with my CX ff no in automatically show up in my CX account).
CX checkin desks open just under 3hrs before the flight (I've had to wait 'pre'checkin area for the counters to open- security doesn't let you in to the check in hall).
The process described by moa999 still works for transfers (at least did as of 2 months ago) though I'm not sure if you will get the CX bp more than 3h before the flight. (UL handles ground handling for CX, and most of the check-in staff are UL employees in CX garb)
Thank you.
On
ow web site, there was no mention of a Lotus lounge.
Which lounge has showers?
