Two hours for sure but I've left for HKG on the 4:00 flight and they were not there at 1:00. Then they arrived en masse like the Thunderbirds around 1:30.
Once they were there due to a much earlier flight being late which they kindly put me on since it was earlier than my 4:00 and I got to sit in the bump area on top of a 747. Barring that I doubt they'd have been there Johnny-on-the-spot 3 hours earlier.
Did you mean a flight 13 hours after 11 am? Which is when 1245am is. I suppose you could check in at 11 am for a flight that much later if they were open for flights closer to 11am but I am not sure I would leave them to lose my bags for 13 hours in BKK.

Hi, sorry I wrote to quickly as I was a bit stressed.
My flight is scheduled at 12.45pm and I wanted to arrive 90min early (I was in bkk city center so an hour from the airport) . But then when I checked the app this morning I got the message H:MM until check in close which was at 11am. I would not bat an eye if it was not a 5th freedom flight.
Anyway I did not take the risk and the app was actually wrong.
Check in close 40m before departure as stated on the website.
Thank you all

I'd always get to the airport at least 60 min. before departure & I think that's a generally safe rule to follow.
Some airlines such as MH & SQ at certain airports like KUL & HKT apply the 40 min. cut off time but SQ @ SIN is pretty strict with it being 60 min.
But I think in general most airlines follow the 60 min. cut off rule.

According to https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...l-airport.html, you can check in 3 hours ahead. However, I don't assume information from the App or Website is always correct.

I do appreciate very much you did a search before asking, but reviving a 11-year old thread may not be necessary.
Sometimes people reply to posts without paying attention to the age of the thread.

I ask because on some other boards, the members will get chided (usually by other members & sometimes the Mod's) for not doing a search prior to creating a new thread.
And then they'd point out that there are at least 3 other thread on the same topic etc.
I was under the impression to always do a search & to post in an existing thread especially if the topic is still relevant.
Thanks.
