In general, the airlines and the Transportation Security Administration recommend that passengers arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before domestic flights, including those to Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
How standard is this advice? The Transportation Security Administration agrees with it, but airlines don't. For instance, American Airlines advises passengers to be at the airport two hours before flight time for international departures and 90 minutes for domestic flights. Also, there's an exception for flights to certain overseas destinations, which require that you check in earlier. United Airlines further complicates this issue by adding luggage to the equation. If you're not checking luggage, the carrier advises you to arrive at the airport at least 60 minutes before your scheduled departure time. If you're checking luggage, it's 90 minutes. For international flights, give yourself two hours, says United.
