Are all business class seats in EK's 777 fleet not lie flat?

I'm curious how rare it is to be able to book 3 award seats in F (in advance)? Managed to put 3 seats on hold from DXB-IAD this fall, and am debating whether to go ahead with it, given we've never flown EK F.

Which fare bucket
Is an cash upgrade a different fare bucket than a miles upgrade?

Most 'cash upgrades' are just being charged the fare difference between the bucket you came from and the bucket you go to, which in that case is a 'normal' bucket (O, I, C or J in Business). There is this 'cash offer' which you may get by email or at OLCI, it's what it says, an offer you can't ask for it. I have not seen one in years (but hey, who has flown a lot in years?). Those used to book in (I think) P bucket, which used to be visible on EF, but disappeared a long time ago.
Miles upgrades go to 'D' (in the J cabin) or 'Z' in the F cabin.
So the short answer is: yes, cash upgrades is a different fare bucket from a miles upgrade.

How do you select a seat on FlyDubai on an Emirates connecting ticket? The EK PNR does not work on the FlyDubai website.
Is there a separate PNR?

Business Fare buckets
Which fare buckets correspond to Special business fares which have no lounge, Saver, Flex and flex plus? I have searched threads without finding a good answer.
thanks

Log in with your skywards, and the booking will come up - including the different PNR.
I don't know how to get the PNR otherwise

Tried your trick and also doesn’t work.
Might call EK. Bizarre given that the first ticket was just flown (with a promotional upgrade).

Business Flex Plus ticket
I ended up buying flight with Emirates through a bud who's a travel agent. Turns out he messed up my itinerary, where instead having the journey being roundtrip JFK-DXB-NRT and back, he did a NRT-DXB-JFK roundtrip, where JFK-DXB-NRT is on business flex plus while NRT-DXB-JFK is on first. It looks like Business Flex Plus has free changes to the ticket, but would it be possible to change the date of the JFK-DXB-NRT itinerary to before the NRT-DXB-JFK? One thing is for sure, I'm never asking him to book my flights again. Would truly appreciate insight!
