To be updated for the new cabin interiors!
Current fleet and entry date & updated cabin:
Seating (old cabin)
J/45 Y/218: Features 2 J cabins. 1 bird (LTN) has this config
Complete seatmap and layout of config 1 can be found here and config 2 is here.
Business Class (old cabin) features Vantage (built by Zodiac UK on license) full-flat bed seats in a staggered layout, alternating 2-2-1 and 1-2-1 abreast. Config1 has two business class cabins, row 1-7 and 8-10.
Preferred seats depends on your preferences. Some prefers minicabin for its smaller size, but beware that economy boards through the mini cabin and are seated immediately behind a thin wall after row 10.
Even A seats (2A/4A/6A/8A) enjoys 2 side tables and are nicknamed throne seats and are loved for their exclusive private feel by kids and adults. They do however have narrow footwells.
L seats are also single seats, with even rows (2L/4L/...) having the side table on the aisle side, making the seat slightly more private and odd rows (1L/3L/...) having side table on the window side making aisle access extremely easy (esp 1L) and better feet space.
All paired seats are good for couples travelling together. Do note that 1AC/3AC/5AC/7AC shares one side table, while DH seats each have their own side table.
Economy Comfort on A333 has similar seats as plain economy, but with a adjustable headrest and ≈4" inches more legroom. They also come with noise cancelling headphones, 1h internet, priority boarding and a small amenity kit.
Finnair platinums and OWE members can select these seats for free. (OWE must call to do so). Other passengers can buy comfort seats for a fee, and seats are also sold after boarding.
Economy comfort is row 21-25 on both configs, but due to effects when retrofitting the cabin, there are major differences in cabin layout.
To find best seat, you first need to identify what airplane you are on, which can be done by analysing your seat map as suggested in this post.
Economy Class features 2-4-2 abreast slimline seating with 32" pitch. The best seats are row 41 with most legroom on A/C/J/L, but do notice that 41D/H are baby bassinet seats.
These are either labled "extra legroom" or "exit row" in the seat map and are selectable with status or for a fee.
Economy cabin offers USB for charge - no AC outlets.
In-Flight Entertainment
You will have Bose noise-cancelling earphones in business class and in Economy comfort, and earplugs in economy class.
Wifi: All A333 have Wifi. To redeem free access if eligible, you will need to enter your surname and seat number on the login page, otherwise it costs you 7,95€ per hour, 11,95€ per three hours or 19,95€ for the whole flight. It may take some time until up in the air to get it started.

Yes, the A-to-C climb is much easier in row 1.
I personally don't find 1AC disturbed by toliets/galley. DH ofcourse has even easier aisle access, but I strongly discourage from 1DH as these seats are much more exposed.

I agree with all three points. Plus sometimes people want to take shortcut from one aisle to another in front of 1DH. Not nice.

Or when crew positions the newspaper trolley in 1DH "to keep it out of the way"!
(But frankly this was worse in the old 2-2-2 config, 'casue 1DH did not have any foot wells, just a lot of floor space.)

In the good old days that was often the case for daytime departures.
Ah, sorry, I'm just too old..

Even on the A350 - at least on some flights I was on - they (used to?) put the in-flight bar in front of 1AC on top of the cabinet. In case of a bit of turbulence, guess who is covered with chocolate, champagne and glass shards?

It´s about the pre-depature champagne - inflight they should take the drinks in the galley.
