UA has this to say: For flights within the U.S., as well as most international flights, baggage will generally not be accepted for check-in more than four hours before a scheduled flight departure, although this policy varies by airport and daily check-in counter hours

Good to know! I usually only check a bag internationally and never experienced this before. I assumed if the desk is staffed, checking generally isn't an issue. Airlines must be more lenient with international itineraries.
