Maximum or minimum?

2-3 requires 3 hours advance check-in, 1 and 4 allow check up up to 60 min before the flight.

The way that you've written this suggests a 3 hour minimum time till flight. I was hoping to check in at (3) about 9 hours before my flight, and then go wander around Hong Kong for six to seven hours before heading to the airport.

An earlier poster seemed to suggest a 3 hour maximum which would be quite annoying.

Can anyone resolve this? Has anyone been turned away for coming to check in too early?
