Have been giving EK a miss for the past few years due to the state of DXB, however, don't assume that pre-booked seats are guaranteed.
From personal experiences, EK have a habit of giving away 'reserved' seats. If I remember correctly, you also had to be a member of Skywards to reserve seats, however, this may not now be the case. Anyway, I hope you get your seats and enjoy your trip.
