Very early check-in in Frankfurt airport

In some east-asian airports is possible to check-in several hours in advance, so that you can spend time more time inside the airside of the airport (so you can use the lounge for example).

I wonder if that is the case in the Frankfurt International Airport, for a flight from Korea Air.

Is it possible lets say check-in 5 hours before the flight departure and enter in the airside?

How early can I check-in at Frankfurt Airport?

5 a.m. to 9 p.m. All passengers must appear personally. Exception: family members, by presenting their ID cards or passports. The evening-before check-in is available for all passengers 23h prior departure.

Can I check-in 8 hours before my flight?

If you have checked luggage, the earliest airports will let you in is usually 2-5 hours before departure. That's because you can go through security only once you've checked in your baggage, and the check-in desks open only a few hours before departure.

Can I check-in 4 hours before departure?

For flights within the U.S., as well as most international flights, baggage will generally not be accepted for check-in more than four hours before a scheduled flight departure, although this policy varies by airport and daily check-in counter hours.

How early can you check-in luggage at the airport?

To play it safe, you should check in luggage two hours before a domestic flight. For international flights, you should show up even earlier and find out where do you check bags at the airport up to three hours in advance. Either way, make sure you don't check in luggage at the last minute.
