Hi Kimbo - just wondering, I too am a Royal Orchid member but with very basic points (under 5000) does this mean that just because I am a member, that I get a 30kg allowance? Would love to know as I am flying out in around 10 weeks. I also signed up the person travelling with me so I would love to be able to tell them
