Can somebody (try) to explain it to me? Do I need to ask for a certain "letter upgrade" at the check-in or can I just ask for a Business Class upgrade? I was booked on Economy (T).

I've also read a bit in the big thread here (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/swis...-swiss-19.html) about the numbers... So I guess somewhere between 1100-1500$ should I expect to pay for the upgrade?
If asking at check in just request an upgrade to business class.

Price will depend on availability on the day.
