At T3 US departure there is priority CATSA line for FF with priority status with their flying airline as printed on the BP. I have not tried T3 intl departure to see if thy have this priority line.

I would guess 90 minutes prior to departure at T3 would be a safe bet.

Thanks.

My choice is something just under 2 hours and 4.5 hours ... I might go with the longer connection just to be safe. With the shorter connection, I would worry about WX or MX delays followed by congestion in all the queues.
