Thanks!
What makes you think something like this? If you have enough miles
and your fare allows upgrade
and seats are available for upgrade in the next class of service (O in c class unless I am mistaken), you can upgrade at any time.
Y and B fare classes (expensive) allow for upgrade with miles. Maybe other fares do. You have to ask the sales desk.
