Advice please on Munich airport arrival time to Barcelona.

I bought a bus ticket from Freising Hbh to Munich airport. The bus arrives at the MUC airport @ 10:20 AM. My flight from MUC to Barcelona departs MUC @ 12:10 AM. My worry is this schedule gives me under 2 hours until departure. I am traveling without luggage - I will just have my purse. Also, Vueling website states I can 'check in' a few days early. So, will this time schedule be enough, without luggage, and with online check in? I am not sure what online check in means - does that mean I don't have to go to the Vueling kiosk/desk when I first go in - that I can just walk straight to the TSA area? Or do I need to go to the kiosk to get a real ticket and not the printer version I will get from online check in?
I appreciate any responses - thank you!!

That should be enough time. However, if you'd feel better with a bigger margin, take an earlier bus. Buses leave Freising at 5, 25, and 45 minutes past the hour. According to the Vueling site, you can check in online. You will receive an e-mail from which you can print your boarding pass and you will be able to skip the check-in desk at the airport.

"I bought a bus ticket from Freising Hbh to Munich airport." Really? In advance? Just buy it (€2,50) when you get on the bus. There is no advantage to an advance purchase bus ticket. It doesn't give you a reserved seat or priority boarding. I just flew out of MUC after spending the night in Freising and took the same bus, buying my ticket when I got on. I gave myself more time, about 3 hours, and, although I had to walk to a gate at the very south end of Terminal 2, I still had time to kill before my flight boarded. I had a carry-on and didn't check luggage, but I did have to get my boarding pass at the United check-in. And, as Tim says, the bus leaves every 20 min. If you are worried about it, take an earlier bus.
