Definitely do not show up 50 mins before an international flight without checking in and expect things to go smoothly. If you don't have bags then just try to check-in online.
See that's the issue, its a 5am flight and its not letting me check in online... 3am wake up call for me it is!
I'm usually used to showing up to the airport 40-50 minutes before departure with mobile boarding pass in hand
