I've been able to upgrade to First Class at the counter for a paltry $50 every single time I've flown. I made sure to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmuth/1573613495/in/set-72157602424867650/" >drink enough free booze</a> to make it worth my money. :-) My best luck with upgrades: Philadelphia to Detroit on US Airways.

My favorite upgrade - I left for the airport, took wrapped presents, a cat, my family, no security except for the card key and the door to the hangar. I sat in front, climbed through some clouds to about 1000 feet over the clouds and flew over NYC [never saw it]. Then as we came south were about 500 under a cloud deck giving some wonderful effects of speed. Then we arrived in South Carolina, and it was warm - wonderfully warm. Its the best seat in the house. The only hassle was worrying about the weather in New England all week. Truly a blessing! I FINALLY got to upgrade today.
