Failed, as expected. Just checked in full a moment ago.

I have stayed #1 on the list the entire time, from check-in at 9:50am TPE time on Sunday all the way up until they checked in full at just beyond an hour from departure. I'm kind of surprised no one with higher priority every checked in (like a GS who hadn't already cleared, or a 1K on a Y). Appears they sold at least one of the last 2 seats via upfare (it disappeared very shortly after they released ZN inventory), and the other, who knows?

Sigh. I hate trying to upgrade this route!
