Choosing seats for future flights after getting Silver
I have some flights already booked for November and December and as I am now Bronze I cannot choose seats for free until 7 days beforehand. My next flight will take me to Silver... will I then be able to choose seats for my existing bookings or will I still have to wait until 7 days beforehand?
I realise this may come up often here but I have searched and cannot find the answer... sorry.

It has been known that you may need to remove and reapply your BAEC number for the systems to recognise that your booking is linked to a Silver member - best to call or use a site like RJ.com to do this.

You *should* be able to - certainly you would be entitled to.
With theoretical seating, some seats may be blocked to you but open to golds (and/or full are travellers? not sure).
Sometimes, though, the booking still sees you as bronze. If that happens, you can visit finnair.com, manage your booking to remove your BAEC number, save the changes, then add the number back in.
