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!
Just because you noticed that it was delayed doesn't mean every other passenger did too.

Depending on where I'm flying from, I will get to the airport 2+ hours before departure (somewhere not too familiar) to an hour before. In other words, I will probably have been at the airport by the time a delay message appeared. In any event, have always heard that check-in closes based on the original ETD.
