In most (but not all) cases, you will be able to pay the difference and upgrade. Penalty may or may not apply, so this is something you would need to look at. In case they will reimburse any Economy ticket, you might consider booking in Y class (the most expensive economy class fare). You may want to call AY in advance, for example, to see your options.
