Mike, funny you should say that about no extra baggage allowance until you rack up some miles..... the paperwork they have just sent me said you get it straight away, but maybe that's just for SA residents...... I'll try to find out more.......

for those of you travelling out of JIA and don't want to wait around the departure lounge you can go to the Premier Club Lounge. (turn right as you come out of passport control, walk to the end of the lounge, up the escelator and turn left) They charge a few dollars and have comfortable seats, showers, free snacks, tea coffee and booze.
