That's Plan A.

I'm hopeful that by asking to be offloaded 3-4 hours ahead of departure, I won't need any favors nor will I have delayed the flight.

Given I'm not that familiar with FRA, would anyone have a suggestion as to where it would be best for me to do this? Is there such a thing as a TK transfer desk or perhaps I'd be better off going to the ticketing counter?
