So they still have comfort cabin? With special head rest and headphones?

Comfort is only few seats with better leg room. That's all.

What's the current situation with the LH PE if there's a lot of free seats? Do status members get to choose PE at check-in? A year ago I had it happen but it was only LHR route.

Lumos can pick them up free on shorthauls.

Incorrect - it may have worked in the early months of PE, but IME from October, it was forbidden to assign those. Tested via HUACA style, but same story all the time.
(I was still Lumo back then)

I just made a dummy booking to LHR and it let me assign PE seats just fine.

Great, some differentiation for Lumos! I now see that basic blacks can buy it for about 60 euros. So there goes the story of nobody getting those seats.

Well, those middle seats are according to Finnair seat-selection merely "Preferred seat", costing 49€.
Only 32-34 A-C and J-L are "comfort seat" advertised as "7,5 cm more legroom", costing 99€.
Row 31 is "first row seats" sold at a whopping 119€ without any advertised advantages to the seat or legroom, only describes as "enjoy sitting in the front section of the cabin"




Row 32 is (at least in swedish site) describe having the benefit of "you'll be one of the first off the plane". Quite a perk if they really deliver on that promise!

There is a difference between A350 and A330. Your pic is A350 as it is 3+3+3 and not 2+4+2. Florens referred to A330.
