Monarch Checkin at Faro

The websites say 2 or 3 hours before departure but can anyone who's done it suggest a reasonable minimum?

Monarch's own website says


Check-in opens:

2 hours before departure.
3 hours before departure for long haul flights.
check-in closes:

40 minutes before departure.
Often 60 minutes before departure for long haul flights.
arrive at your check-in counter

at least 90 minutes before the scheduled depature time of your flight.

I would follow the guidelines. Since they lost their roof last year the despatchers have been telling us it is pandomonium inside whenever we have flown in. Snaking queues out the front of the terminal, queue jumping, people missing flights etc.

Thanks everyone! I took your advice and left plenty of time and I'm glad I did. Couldn't believe how crowded it was. Not a particularly nice airport but check-in, security and retail staff all did a good job and were very pleasant. I'd avoid the place in peak season.
