If anyone here has done short-distance domestic US flights - how long before a flight do they recommend you check in?

Edited to add: thanks! I knew I could count on you guys. So, if I were to go to, say, Connexions next spring, it seems it would be wiser to train than to fly. Is good to have information.

Probably about an hour and a half.

Seriously...you can get checked in (bags included) *and* get to your gate in about thirty minutes if all goes well - especially if you have an e-ticket - but it almost never "all goes well." Besides, all our local airports (yours and mine) have huge lines most of the time, so yes...an hour and a half makes sense.

btw...thirty minutes is usually the cut-off at which point they *won't* check you in any more.
