I decided to use this thread to ask the questions.
In the other thread, there appears to be acceptance of OWR for Priority Security (for AY flights), is this still correct? I know the website only acknowledges OWE. Is there signage (the oval ruby)? Also, is this easy to find in the morning zoo? Lastly, we don't have status cards anymore. I can show the mobile card, but unsure what that situation would be.
The website does indicate one adult guest (if no status) plus under 18 allowed to also accompany to Priority Security.

If you have Priority Security at HEL, your AY BP will reflect this, and will also open the gate. Even if you want to use the Mobile BP, you can always download the pdf version and see what it says. Priority Security is printed right below the bar code in the top right corner.

The guesting applies only for AY+ Gold and up, but I've been successful with guesting at a few airports with Ruby.
YMMV

The AY site is very misleading and unclear on access.

I used the upstairs priority security around noon on a Sunday and found it quite efficient. Only one other passenger ahead of us in line. The walk from here to the non-schengen gates is long and does pass many, many shops as intution pointed out.
