Free upgrades are perfectly possible. You need to know somebody high-ranking in Virgin who has access to the reservations system. That got us bumped from economy straight to upper class. And very nice it was too!
Upgrades at check-in/gate are possible but the chances are slim. Check in as early as possible - that's worked for me as well.

If you mean for free, no chance on Virgin.
The next class up is premium economy, then first.
You may wonder why no upgrade for free? I'll give you some true facts here, and you'll reach your own conclusion:
If the First Class on Virgin goes full (i.e all seats are sold), the WHOLE of the economy class is pure profit for the airline.
That's why.

airlines do no longer supply out enhancements only because of the fact they have the seats. it extremely is an costly provider to grant so they are the two going to get the money or grant an improve for their maximum unswerving commonplace fliers. An airline could no longer improve you because of the fact it is your birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or only when you consider which you ask good. I certainly have seen finished economic gadget cabins with empty first and or business enterprise cabins. An airline isn't obligated to fill the seats if no person needs to purchase them or they haven't any qualified elite visitors

Call your carrier, check on the availability of first class seats, if there is room, then you must pay the upgrade rate of course.
