Day-Of upgrades
Colleague of mine asked me whether CO sells upgrades at check-in for BusinessFirst. He is flying from a domestic station to EWR on to Europe. If such upgrades do exist but he isn't offered one at check-in, can he check at EWR to see whether one is available for the TATL leg, and if so, with whom ?
Also, what's the best option to buy an upgrade when checking-in ? Checking-in at the airport or online as early as possible ?

The only BusinessFirst upgrade that can be purchased at the airport is the "revup" upgrade between EWR/IAH and HNL. All other BF upgrades are miles+money and must be requested more than 24 hours from time of departure. Many threads on FT mention this as well as the FAQ section.

Thanks. Slap me silly, I searched (incl the FAQ) and didn't find. Picked a wrong choice of keywords as usual, I suspect. Apologies.
