No one knows if the universe is infinate in size or not. I personally doubt it, but I don't deny the possibility.
What the flat universe means is that you can't leave one spot, go in one particular direction, and eventually return to that same spot as you could on a planet like earth. It means that if you go in one direction for a long enough period of time, eventually you'll reach a point to where you can't move any further - depending on a number of factors.
What is the reason for doubting the infinity of the size of the universe?
