2 hours you should be there before but at the holiday in the main 2 1/2

official 2 hours.

but there is still a time security buffer included if what should happen.

an hour before is completely enough.

came 20 minutes before departure and it was still ok, as I had called before.

It depends. What is as safe as the amen in the church is that the check-in-counter 40 (sometimes 45) minutes before departure are closed. About a headquarters. If you are only 39 minutes before departure at the switch, only one call can help the pilot – which usually refuses. You should always expect a lot of trouble especially during your holiday; for a flight Monday morning in February, a good hour ahead of a small airport – for a flight in July on a Saturday will be too short an hour before. You should also take into account the size of the airport, i.e. the arrival of passengers in general (which always run into the suitcases), the distances that are to be handled between the terminals, and the size of the machine (the aircraft to the USA, for example, take up a lot more passengers than internal transport machine, so much more have to be handled). With two hours in advance at the airport you are usually well served, but then you should start immediately, give up the baggage and go quickly to safety control. After that, you can bumble, and – if you are a smoker – you can still get a tip in one of the smoker zones without having to get into sweat because of time shortage.

So I just arrived at the gate 10 minutes after the regular departure of the plane. The pilot was so nice and waited.

But my question was this: how does the online check-in work and is it better than when you do it at the airport?

I also suggest you be at the airport about 2 hours before departure. I don’t think there’s an exact rule with the check in. Depends on where you’re flying. At small airports you also have shorter waiting times. So it depends on the situation.

if you want to leave baggage and check in:
within Germany/European commercial zone about 1 hour
in the case of extra-continental joining so two hours.
I would always plan an hour more, especially if the airport is big, it can always happen

I came back yesterday from the holiday and it’s enough when you’re there 1.5 hours earlier but not later than an hour earlier. Otherwise you can get close.

from when you can check in, usually in the flight records. From airport to airport and from airline to airline. Usually always on the departure day and on departure on the morning also on the eve. You can also check in online beforehand (at Lufthansa 23 hours before departure). And otherwise you should calculate how long you need to reach the gate. If you want to give up baggage, it can be due to the fact that you have to stand at the switch for a long time. And if you’re flying abroad, you’ll have to go through the passport control. And then comes the security control, which can stop again. And if you’re already thinking, I guess you’re not often flying. Probably you have to go to the airport first where you have to go. So be right in time. I’d rather have a cup of coffee if you’ll get through quickly.
