DL does not provide upgrade offers on all flights that have open seats. Even if they do provide upgrade offers, there's no guarantee the pricing will be all that attractive (they are not fixed amonts based on region/distance). It is not based on the fare difference and at times it can actually be cheaper to pay the fare difference to upgrade rather than select the online seat upgrade offer.
