How do I know if my flight has lie flat seats?

Just look for flights using wide-body aircraft or those on premium coast-to-coast routes, such as New York to Los Angeles. Before you splurge for business class, though, make sure to use a tool such as Google Flights or SeatGuru to make sure that the aircraft you're booking has lie-flat seats in business class.
