Honestly no idea why I received an upgrade. First time ever I did a round trip with Emirates, AMS - SYD through DBX.
On the way down on Jan 7 I missed my connection at DBX because of late arrival of the inbound flight and I made a gigantic yet polite fuzz for almost an hour at the transfer desk to get me to SYD asap. They ended up rerouting me through BKK. I refuse to believe though the upgrade on the return flight is to make up for it.
Have to say I was mightily impressed by the J experience on an A380.
