Upgrades on board is not normally done, although ground staff may be able to do this if you are willing to pay for the fare difference...if you are asking for a FREE upgrade...the answer would be no.

I think you will discover that most of the people here in this forum believe that you sit on the class you paid for. That said, CX does not reseat you even if it is empty. I am not sure any airline would do that, even PR leaves Choice Seats empty if passengers did not pay for them. (though you may pay for them on board)

It seems you are based in CRK which is why maybe OPUPs are impossible as KA normally uses Mono-class 320s, perhaps you should fly out of MNL more as an SL there is a higher probability of an upgrade specially on peak seasons.

Just because it happened once...please don't expect it to happen all the time.
