It seems to be OH-LQA, though the seat map you have pasted doesn't fit 100% to any of the ones on AY web pages. You can find the seatmaps on Finnair web: Home -> Information and services -> On board -> Fleet

OH-LQA if I'm not mistaken. It has a 6 abreast J and 1AC exists. Something is odd though. on AY published seatmap LQA has no 21D-H. Apparently it has in real life.

Apparently they have re-dubbed first Y row 22->21 and no longer calls last row 33.
They are now difficult to tell apart from eachother - I willlook for new tell tales

All A330s and new A340s (LQB-LQE) have similar Zodiac Vantage full-flat bed seats in business. I find them quite comfortable and like those seats, though some people can find them a bit narrow in sleeping position, but for me it hasn't been an issue. On a long flight I would definately take the upgrade.

Thanks guys, so it looks like my travel date lottery has put me on the ex-AF bird. 
Is there any way to check how busy the June 19 flight is? Just wondering whether to pre-select seats or just wait until OLCI to assign them...
