My wife showed up at check-in with bag this morning at 5:15 am for the 6:55 am flight to San Salvador. No problem at all for her in the business class line. She said the economy line wasn't very long, and it looked like it would have been no problem to line up there as well, 1:40 before departure.
So, I think Avianca's 2:00 before departure time (for online check-in, with checked bag) is a bit more than what's really necessary, at least at SFO.
