Upgrading to PE at Gatwick

On previous occasions I have paid (approximately) £175 to upgrade from EC to PE when checking my bags in at Gatwick. My question is that if I do my check in the night before at Twilight check in are these offers to upgrade potentially available then or only in the morning when the flight is leaving ?
Thanks for any info.

I have no idea but would be interested to know the answer as well.

No harm in asking at twilight and if nothing then ask in the morning. Check in manage your bookings too in case any offers appear there too.

I have never seen upgrade offers on manage your bookings ... would this appear only when OLCI is available?

Who have you booked with? Only if you have booked direct with VS would upgrades appear in the manage my booking section (if available).

Aha! I have booked through Newmont Agents so that is probably why. Thanks Neil. This forum is brilliant!

I tried to upgrade to PE a couple of years ago at twilight check in. I was told it had to be done in the morning. It may have changed but that was my experience

Interesting price point - I'm used to £250ish being the going rate for a 1 way Y-PE upgrade at the airport (which I've never taken). £175 sounds reasonably competitive - is that for a particular route that you fly?
