(cheaper to buy early?, cheaper to buy last minute?, the more times you check, the more prices go up?.......).

I am monitoring some flights I might want to upgrade and everytime I check, the prices have gone up.
The flights I am monitoring started at 37-42 €, now I am seeing prices from 46-54 € (fx 53€ to Stuttgart, 51€ to Berlin).
Some of the flights are soon but some are much later in the year.

The upgraded flights I have already flown, I paid 32-39 € for.

In my limited experience, I think that I have noticed the cheapest prices if you request the upgrade immediately after booking your flight.
I have four flights I paid only 36-37 € for when requesting an upgrade straight after booking the flights (one of them booked only a week ago).
But maybe this is only coincidence....
I just requested a upgrade to plus via OT.

Arlanda -> Palma Mallorca on the 8th of August. 33€ was my quote FWIW ^
