I know I can check-in online early, but if an airport does not offer Express Baggage Check-in, how far in advance can Southwest travelers check luggage? I have heard and read anywhere from 2-24 hours. Thank you.

Hi,
Checking of Baggage (1) Carrier will not accept or hold Baggage from a Passenger on day of travel at Carrier’s airport ticket counter or curbside check-in locations (where available) if tendered to Carrier earlier than four hours in advance of flight departure time. (2) Where available, Baggage may be accepted at an earlier time at authorized offsite Baggage check-in facilities. (3) Baggage must be checked at Carrier’s airport ticket counter or curbside check-in locations (where available) at least 45 minutes prior to the flight’s scheduled departure time, See Section 8 for additional requirements for international travel. (4) Baggage checked in less than 45 minutes prior to a flight’s scheduled departure time is subject to Section 7h(8). (5) Baggage for international flights will not be accepted if presented to Carrier less than 60 minutes (less than 75 minutes for flights departing from Aruba) prior to scheduled departure. Passengers cannot voluntarily separate from luggage on international flights.
The information was found here.

Thank you so much. When I called SWA Customer Service, the phone representative said "about two hours." The use of "about" confused me. I really appreciate the link and summary.
