Passengers need to show up for the regular scheduled departure time. It's quite common that air traffic control gives you a certain wheels up time, and then at some point along the way that gets lifted and the plane has to go.

If the plane has not arrived yet, I would wait until at least it does arrive to start giving away someone's seat, but if the plane is there, 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.
