You can work it out in advance with most airlines - it's fiddly but can be done - or there is a paid for service that makes it easier. I knew before I purchased the economy ticket yesterday that upgrades were available on all legs and snapped them up immediately. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has information on almost all airlines and you look up whichever one you want. Emirates are a major exclusion, but again there is a manual (free) way to check upgrade availability for them.

On some airlines they won't release any seats for award upgrades at peak times or on popular routes. If they can sell them for cash they much prefer it.
