Yeah, TPAC can be rough so consider where and when you fly.
If you're going to somewhere like HKG on the weekends, SWU's on w-fares are definitely a lottery and the odds seem pretty poor. I've cleared 0 times on 4 attempts on HKG or PVG weekend flights in the last year .
However I'm 100% on on easier routes like SEA-NRT and on weekdays to/from HKG (2/2, both clearing day-of)
