Flew AC other day, came up with this general question. Flight was supposed to leave at 3:15PM and I had checked baggage so I usually get there 45min. before the flight (2:30PM). Before leaving the office to catch the plane, I saw the flight was delayed by an hour (New departing time of 4:15PM).

I was wondering if this meant that I could arrive at the airport at 3:30PM (45 min. before departure as per usual) or would I need to arrive at 45min. before the original planned departure?

Thanks!
I made that assumption once. Then the plane left earlier than it's "new departing time". Not worth the risk.
