Right, but... has DL announced anything? (Not that DL is in the habit of informing their customers... or their staff...) Will the new SkyTeam rules actually apply?

Funny thing in the article:
“This is yet another example of SkyTeam members’ commitment to working together as we grow, to deliver tangible benefits and enhanced customer service to our premium passengers.”
I think that preson was misquoted; they meant to say "fail to deliver tangible benefis...". I think ST integration is still a joke, but I certainly applaud a common baggage policy.^

ETA: Still... I wonder. It says that Elites get 10kg extra, Elite Plus get 20kg extra, and both get 1 extra piece. However... 10kg on top of WHAT? If Airline 1 allows 23kg and airline 2 allows 30kg, then 10kg extra still means a difference in allowance. That's not exactly aligned... Have I misunderstood this?
