OP - sorry to hear that. Can you share some info about the flights (flt nos & timings) you were scheduled to take. Also, did you get your BP for your FRA-USA leg as well and then were denied boarding?

This is not quite correct
- Separate tix is allowed as long as you don't have to go landside to recheck in your luggage
- Max 12 hours not 24 in GER but also dependent on the airport's operational hours. For FRA it is 24 hours other shut down early and you're not allowed to stay there overnight. But since this was FRA you'd get the full 12 hours.
