If there are no good PC seats and then one pops up after check in, you have to pay or hope you get upgraded.
On most of my flights I just select Premium seats when I see one open I want (within the upgrade window). Last week was the first time I was automatically upgraded to a Premium seat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
