To the OP: if you cannot book anything useful as a Classic Award (40000 will really not get you anything out of Northern Europe/Finland), you can still use points for an Any Seat Award, i.e. to pay part of the price of any ticket booked through finnair.com by AY+points. It may not be the best usage, but can still be better if the other option is letting the points expire.
