Welcome to Flyertalk!

The only information I could find on the Delta website is:
www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/itineraries_checkin/requirements/#when

Obviously it depends on the time of day/day of the week/season you are flying (Monday afternoon should be ok, Monday morning/weekends are lkkely much worse), but generally IŽd recommend to check-in at least 2h before departure as a non-Elite and at least 90min before departure as an Elite member (assuming youŽd get priority check-in and priority security).

Generally I find YVR is a very nice airport, but it can get busy at times.
