Short-checking bags on SQ
Hi there!
I've searched FT quite a bit, but haven't been able to find any information on whether SQ will short-check bags for you. It's not a long connection, but our plans have changed and we'd save a conderable amount of money by skipping the last leg of our itinerary.
Anyone have some experience with this?
We're flying exJFK, if that makes a difference.
Thanks a bunch.

Is this an award ticket, or a paid ticket?
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?

Is this the last of your itinerary, or the start of it? What is your itinerary after FRA-VIE? Is there a return?

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.
