I can be Wrong (wont be the 1st time

) but once the OP hands in their bags for whatever flight they just gave up being able to SBY or SDC. Everything has to be done before they recheck their bags
So if nothing is done before departing FRA (confirmed)then the OP will need to get their bags and find their way to the check-in counters upstairs. I dont know if I would trust the recheck counter downstairs to handle a SDC or SBY
