I don't know why but these flights are often arriving into TBIT. If it is I can tell you that you have to pick up the bags but there is a counter a short walk after where you drop them off again.

Also an added benefit - if you have a decent layover and can use it - is you arrive close to the Star Alliance Lounge which was open at 7am the day we were there. So you can shower etc.
