If you need to do it reliably, you should be able to upgrade with your miles.
If you just kind of want the fancy treatment, then ask at the ticketing counter if there are any spare seats in business. Smile at the staff a lot. You might get lucky.
If that doesn't work, go to your airline's main desk on the concourse, and ask there.
If that still doesn't work, don't lose hope. Ask at the gate, and they might have something.
If you really want to be annoying, you can try the airline's main office in the terminal...I've had that work once.
And then ask at the gate again just before you board.

Oh, and just in case none of that works, ask for an exit row seat when you get your seating allocation. There's a lot more legroom, and if you're able bodied, they'll usually give it to you. Especially if you tell them that that makes you feel safer when you fly.
