Ka/cx Vip?
I recently took a KA flilght and saw on some other passenger's Boarding Pass KA VIP on the bottom right, where others would have CXGR or whatever to denote status with MP/Asia Miles.
Does anyone know what status this KA VIP is? How is it attained and whether this is the same as Diamond?
Thank you.

I don't think the heads of state of countries likes Canada or the US are flying around on KA...

I don't think the categories distinguish the ranks. I suppose HK officials fly on CX/KA quite a bit and are placed in one category. Those from other regions/countries are just occasional (and probably never for head of states).

I'd say the HKSAR civil servant would rank higher than the president of Canada 
totally forgot, Canada isn't a republic yet, and their head of state is the Queen.

FWIW, i know the president of swiss did take CX from manila to HK then LX back to ZRH. His wife n himself did not block the entire LX F.
Well... I dont think he did but maybe the entire cabin was his men- but it didnt seem so to me when looking at the manifest.
So, it DOES happen head of states take commercial flights on trips. considering how much of a controvesy it can bring up when they use state money to buy unnecessary seats.
