You can but it's considerably more expensive and some might say overpriced.

Upgrading from Standard to Deluxe is $80 from memory.
To go from Standard to Premium Deluxe is $85.
And going from Deluxe to Premium Deluxe is $100.

Edit: If you want to check the game out for whatever reason before committing, get a cheap gamepass trial.

Sure, but it's a lot cheaper to just purchase the deluxe version up front versus upgrading later.

You can but there is little point and you pay for air in the process instead of just the difference as a mark of "well you should have chosen the one you wanted to begin with" attitude. It is strictly unfair as it is just DATA. Therefore I protest and stand against using Upgrades in these states. Do no be scammed.

oh so i basically buy each version, wow lol?

No. Each version above Standard has everything from the version under it. But the cost of upgrading is like buying each version. Either buy the top version only and get everything and pay a lot, or else buy Standard and then buy the third party add-ons that you want instead of upgrading. Since there is so much third-party content now, it doesn't make a lot of sense to buy any version higher than Standard, but it's your money.

There are sales on the game now and then. Could always rent the game from xbox live until then.

That depends. You likely cannot buy 10 aircraft and 10 airports for $60 of similar standard / quality. Yes, there's a difference in 3rd party functionality most of the time but diminishing returns apply. For a person who does not care about functional circuit breakers and all the little details that set third party products apart, the default aircraft might serve a purpose.

On top of this, some of the config files are now unencypted so some tweaks are easily achieved to improve them.
