But interestingly enough when I did on line check in tonight, the KL sector showed up as being allowed 30kg !
So has something changed? So it looks like I can off load the extra carry on as checked luggage to AMS after all! Its a little heavier now with some extra shopping in HKG!

It looks like you get the Extra baggage allowance with KLM. There is no Skyteam-wide agreement on this, but KLM and NW is an alliance in itself where there are closer agreements on upgrades, baggage allowances etc.
