The first thing you need to do is dispel any notion that you are held in any kind of regard by the airline. After that, remove any expectation of special treatment because you're a captain coming to do them a favour. This will save you a lot of disappointment during your time there and calibrate your expectations to something nearer a realistic level.
That being said, the economy class shown on your ticket is your onload class and the ticket will likely be upgradeable to business on a space available basis.
