Just wondering if I will be able to possibly surprise my family with an upgrade later this month.

Thanks
I've flown from LAX 3 times recently and upgrades weren't actively offered. However, once I did see a sign advertising upgrades at the economy checkin desk. If memory serves me correct, it was well over a thousand dollars (I want to say 1200 or 1300) and I didn't consider it good value for an airport upgrade.
