It's usually possible to check in online 24 hours or more before the flight departs. Checking in early increases your chances of getting an upgrade from admin staff if the flight's overbooked.
Is it cheaper to upgrade flight at airport or online?
It depends on the airline you're flying with, but it is generally cheaper to upgrade to business class at the airport than it is to book a business class ticket from the outset.
Is it better to upgrade at check in?
It depends on a variety of factors, including the airline, the route, the time of year, and the availability of seats. In some cases, upgrading at the airport can be a cost-effective way to experience Business Class perks without paying full price. In other cases, it may end up being more expensive.
