Hi there. I have my first first class experience from LHR to EWR in July. The flight is 7:10pm.

I’ll likely post many other questions in the forum, though I have looked through a lot of the other ‘first first’ posts and I understand that I should go in with right expectations. Seeing that this is an award flight I’ve kept them relatively low.

My particular question here is when should I check in? I’d have no issue with doing it late morning and savouring everything there is to offer but how long is too long??
