Matmid Club members, including 'Silver' members, are entitled to an additional 5 kg baggage allowance in all travel classes.

My question basicly was that as I from experiance remember differently and was also told so yesterday by my local reservation office, so perhaps in reality (although the book claims differently) they even allow the tl members the 5kg?

No ebzed dear, only you have the special honour of being called spoilt.

Also if you are a religious person there is an urban legend that your are entitled for additional 5kg due to Special Kosher food you might carry with you...

You said that according to the website the answer in no, but then went and quoted the website where it clearly says the answer is yes!

Yes I see what you mean, wording is a little confusing but what it may mean is that normal matmid members including Silver get an extra 5kg allowance while GLs PLs etc get more than that, and they do to be honest.

In the context of Matmid, what does "TL" stand for?
And seriously, you never heard of "urban legend"? I had attached such greatness to you based on your postings at FT...
