Alternate for same price is Swiss from ZRH, which has lovely seats, but would rather do Finnair for the BA tier points...
In the summer timetable AY089/090 should always be an A330 in the new configuration, next winter AY089/090 is A340 and AY095/096 is new config A330*.
If I recall correctly, if you see the aircraft on the Finnair site as A330, then it is the new config. If you see A330-300 or A340, then it is the old config. Equipment swaps can occur at any time, however, so nothing is sure until you actually depart.
*Not a single exception in the previous three months when I checked the statistics a couple of weeks ago.
