10kg Extra Silver benefit gone?
Got my new Diners the other day and I briefly looked through the little info about benefits. I have been Silver for many years now and the best is to accually be able to checkin 10kg Extra, perfekt for the domestic connection ARN-OSD or ARN-UME on your way home from a far a way place. It is gone now?

It's not the benefits that have changed, but the baggage rules.
Before they had weight concept on some routes and piece concept in others. You would get +10kg in weight concept and +1PC in piece concept.
Now everything is piece concept, so technically you still get the same benefits, it just that with no weight concept there's nothing to apply the +10kg to. You still get +10kg on weight concept on SK routes just like you get free flights every February 30th :P
