Honestly, why 5 hours prior to departure, if the check in counters aren't even open yet? Don't you have to go to the counter to check bags, regardless of whether you have checked in online? People were reporting the past couple of days, that check in counters weren't even open until three hours before and sometimes not even then! But of course, it would make too much sense to get the check in counters open earlier.. Anyone going the next couple of weeks should make sure you take food with you, as there appear to be very few food options available as of now.
