What time does the international checkin close for Virgin Australia? and does it differ between cities? If so what about Christchurch?

Today they closed it 50 minutes before departure (At Christchurch)

The Virgin Australia Website only says - "You should be checked in for your international flight at least 90 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time."

It never says you must be checked in 90 mins prior or that when it closes though

FMC Travel Agent says - "Virgin Australia allows passengers to check in for international flights at the allocated counters from 2.5 hours before departure. Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure. "

SeatGuru says - International Flights
"Virgin Australia recommends that you check in 2 hours prior to departure.
Check in begins 2.5 hours prior to departure for flights from the Pacific Islands and 2 hours prior to departure for flights from Australia and New Zealand.
Check-in closes 30 minutes prior to departure.
Boarding starts 30 minutes prior to departure."

So what time does checkin really close?

There was another thread with this unclear timing discussed extensively. You may find better information on your e-ticket email.

The reality is that anything less then t-90 minutes is taking a risk.

Here's that thread (LAX related): http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/virgi...utoff-lax.html
