With a flight departure time of 17.00 hrs on a Tuesday what time should be allowed for check in etc. Any advice from recent users? 

International or domestic?

International. Qantas.

Three hours.

Thankyou.

This also provides you with enough time to get through security and sit airside to chill out for a while.  Wouldn't want to miss your flight would you?

I'll need the three hours to walk from check in to the boarding gate! I've been in training every morning to prepare myself. I'll be 84 three days after my flight. I'd hate not to be around to celebrate it Thanks for the advice.

Not 100% sure this applies to departing passengers, but I *think* it does, if you are over 70 you are entitled to use the priority lines for security and immigrations.  Definitely can use priority lines for immigrations upon arrival.

That's interesting. I'll try it.

A Google image search turned this up:

 

 

The yellow sign by the door clearly says "Senior Citizens Over 70" at International Departures.
