MCO in particular frequently has signs saying no more than 2 hours. That being said, my boarding pass has never been checked by airport staff prior to entering the queue. (Might be more along the lines of reserving the right to temporarily refuse you if it gets too crowded.) | |

I've done this many times with KLM at AMS (though not recently, they may have changed their rules), walking up to an empty checkin desk and asking if it's ok usually tends to get you a smile and a boarding pass. | |
