The following AY short and middle haul flights are currently operated by widebodies:
AY1331/1332 HEL-LHR-HEL, A359, DAY1337/1338 HEL-LHR-HEL, A333, D
AY1411/1412 HEL-FRA-HEL, A359, 6 (until 29OCT22)
AY1963/1964 HEL-DXB-HEL, A330, 135 (during winter 22-23)
As a rule, service will be the usual AY shorthaul concept both in Y and J, with the exception of IFE (available free of charge to all, with cheap in-ear headphones provided in J and Y) and internet (longhaul rules apply, ie Plats get free wifi for the duration of the flight, Golds and J get one hour). Y+ seats are sold as extra legroom seats with no special service, but cannot be chosen free of charge unless you're Plat or Lumo.
DXB is an exception, see https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/finn...dubai-dxb.html for details.

Why not? Fans can live in any city, and in a game like this I think it’s more important which country the team comes from. Of course I can be completely wrong, but it was one theory.

Maybe in Finland.. in larger countries it's difficult to see why people would be fans of teams from other cities, other than maybe the major teams (like Bayern Munchen)

I have HEL-AMS-HEL coming and it showed 333 both ways, now all moved to 321. Maybe they need more 333s for long hauls or maybe AMS is still such a mess that bookings are low? (not looking forward going there at all..)
Good news is that outbound upgrade cleared with equipment change, inbound had cleared at the time
of booking.

At first, I thought they'd extended business class and moved me to the back, which of course made no sense as there's no L column on A321.
Anyway, I moved myself to complimentary Comfort seating (too late for J upg). Remember to do that if it happens to you.
