Perhaps your agent has been saying that to people for 20+ years?
No, it was 1968 when I work AC reservations. In fact, we'd often call people on heavily booked flights to certain destination a week out to confirm they still planned to fly. However, it was required on international itineraries (including the US) for the return segment that one called at least 48-hours in advance to reconfirm travel plans. And yes, I've not heard of this since the '80s, '90s, or '00s, or '10s!

Where is OP flying and what type of ticket was purchased (Tango, Flex)?
