Check in Time Question
I am a Prestige member flying YYZ-LHR on the 11:55pm flight on Sunday (AC858) in Y. I am on a B fare so do not expect to be able to use an upgrade 
. However, my TA is insisting that I must be at the airport 3 hours in advance for an international flight. Given the time of day, and that T1 airport must be close to deserted by then, is this really true? If I do not get there until 10:30pm, would I have a problem?
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

However, since you're a Prestige member and you can use J-class ckin I would say show up 1.5 hrs before departure and that should be enough.
Int flights are normally closed 45 min to departure which means you'll lose your seat at that point and may not be allowed to travel.
Ckin should not take more then 5-10 min but always allow extra time for possible issues with your ticket/bag/security etc
Hope this helps!
