Basically you can check bags to FRA only , to say that you need to retrieve medication from checked bags. And you may skip the FRA to VIE segment. This is only doable if you have no return reservation. If you have onward reservations after VIE, your remaining and return reservation will all be cancelled if you skip the FRA-VIE sector.

I see you're from TXL, so I assume that's the return sector?
Hi! Thanks so much. Now I see where you're coming from. It's an award ticket and it's only one-way (the return). So the only flight I'd be "losing" would be the FRA-VIE. I've read some stories of certain airlines not allowing short-checking luggage. Sometimes the computer doesn't even allow it. If I book an extra FRA-TXL leg, I want to make sure I can retrieve my bags in FRA.
