Frankfurt Airport drop check luggage early in the morning (long time before the Airline's counters open)?
I will travel by train to Frankfurt Airport very early in the morning (2 am) and I have a big check luggage. The check-in counter for Vietnam Airlines (I will fly to Hanoi, Vietnam) will be opened (around 11 am) before the departure at 1 pm and it is so long time to stay with this big luggage until the counter is opened as I just want to inside the Airport early through passport control and rest on a sofa.
Does the Frankfurt Airport has a service (e.g: self-service kiosk for all Arlines) which one can drop the check in luggage on the same day of the flight out and it is automatically sent to the cabin of his flight?
Best Answer
There are multiple luggage storage services in Frankfurt airport including one that's open 24/7 and the service is reasonably priced. See https://www.frankfurt-airport.com/en/travel/transfer.detail.suffix.html/article/travel/luggage/storage.html
However, there are no services that would hold your bag and then check it in for you later. You will have to do this later yourself when the bag drop or check in counter is actually open.
You can store your luggage bag, rest a few hours and then retrieve your bag and drop it off later. In many cases you can enter and leave the secure area as often as you like. This depends a bit on what type of Visa/Citizenship you have. The only downside is that you will go through security and sometimes exit immigration each time you re-enter.
