Emirates First Class as an UPGRADE on a Boeing B777 is wonderful, but with an Economy Ticket Impossible! Or is it???

This must be the best Upgrade of the Year: From Economy to Business to First! Experience with me the exclusive Emirates First Class on a flight from Dubai to Munich, on a Boeing 777.

After shooting 20 for hours for my big Dubai Report, I got back to the airport with my economy ticket. Arriving at the Emirates Lounge, I already saw that the system had already upgraded me to Business Class as the flight was fully booked.
But upon boarding, the most amazing and close to impossible thing happened: I got upgraded even one step more, to First Class!

Come with me and enjoy this unexpected flight experience at 35000 feet!

---------------------------------------------
My Information about Upgrades so far:
Emirates Upgrade Policies - as well as at most other airlines - are more or less this at the moment:
1. Cabin must be fully booked (really no single free seat) or overbooked
2. The paid ticket should be in a high booking class (e.g. flex or full-flex instead of saver)
3. Status holders are preferred - if they hold a ticket of the same high booking class

The only two operational upgrades that I effectively got in the past years were not decided by the crew but by the system. The cabing was overbooked, and my online boarding pass simply changed from economy to business class, without further notice. I received then the information that first of all the booking class counts before status. That means that even if I am just Silver (or maybe even Frequent Flyer member without status yet) and paid a full-flex fare, I am more eligible for an upgrade than a Gold member with a cheap booking class such as a saver ticket.
