Minimum check-in time for flight to/from international destinations is 60 minutes (there are some exceptions that require earlier check-in, but they do not impact your itinerary)

Thanks, I also just found that page, I was on the phone with them about something else and she kept on repeating herself that I have to be there 2 hours prior even though I never ask about it so it threw me off.

Check-in times
In most locations, you must be checked in:

At least 45 minutes before scheduled departure, for flights within the United States
At least 60 minutes before scheduled departure, for flights to or from airports outside of the United States
