Should I be worried/ thinking of other routings?

thanks

HEL is the easiest airport in the world to connect through. As you arrive from a schengen airport (PRG) there won't be any security. Just pass through the passport control and you can be at your new gate in 5 minutes. The risk is that they automatically rebook your if the minimum connection time is missed.

Is it all booked on one booking? IF so, you should be fine. Even if they try to put you on the direct finnair flight to JFK, you could claim the ORC through BA (I'm 90% sure of this, but maybe someone else could confirm). There are plenty of HEL-LHR-JFK options throughout the day either way.
