Depending on the time of year, the OP might be able to fly this sector with AY, thus earning 200%.
I live on Finland myself and have definitely chosen AA as my FFP. I mostly travel Finnair, and discount economy. When crediting the miles to AAdvantage, five roundtrips HEL-LHR on AY earn one free trip. On AY, I'd neet 22 trips!
