I have been doing this "early check-in" for more than 3 years now. The first time when I was "bumped" due to overbooking, the QA Supervisor @ Airport informed me that they do allow early check in. My flight usually is at 11PM (Thursday) but I'll check-in around 9AM. Afterwhich, you can still do last minute shopping or have a long sleep. I couldn't sleep on the plane even my direct flight takes 10 hours.
First time I did that, QA asked me why I need to check-in that early, my answer is always the same. "I live in Ras Laffan."
For the online check-in, I have no clues yet on how efficient it is.
