Please check in at the airport when it tells you to on your ticket information. You ARE NOT guaranteed to get on your flight unless you are at the airport at the recommended time. For domestic it is usually 2 hours ahead, international is usually 3 hours ahead.

Most airlines overbook, this is how people get bumped. Also, airlines and airports have the right to take off early of they have the time to do so.

I used to be a flight attendant and I can't tell you how many people are bumped from their flights because they arrive later than they were advised.
