Flight delayed by 8 hours - when to go to airport?
Hi all,

Flying from Gatwick to Vietnam on the Vietnam Airlines flight number VN 050 today. Got notification last night that it had been delayed from the original 12:00 departure time to 20:20. Haven't checked in online because I can't figure out Vietnam Airlines' system or even if I'm able to.

What time should we go to the airport to check-in? Don't want to hang around the airport for eight hours waiting for the flight, I'm assuming if we turned up at about 17:30 that'd be fine? We live two hours away from the airport.

Also presumably we're entitled to compensation for this - will turning up to the airport on time or not affect this?
