Recent DP for those wondering about Nominees and Status Passes.
My son is Nominee for this year, zero AP status of his own.
He was YVR-KIX then SGN-HKG-YVR
Gave him an SP for the trip.
Booked in PY Lowest (revenue)

YVR-KIX cleared at gate, he was top of list, useless DP as no clue as to AP status of other pax.
HKG-YVR cleared at T-7.
