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.

I have developed an allergy for ATRs. Some 1000 ATR segments should merit me a lifetime flex ticket access to always change flights when an ATR is put to operate my segment 😅

1401/2 MUC still shows A359 for most of the summer, leading to super cheap deals to KEM for us. Sadly all in ultra light (not even HBO).
just on AY 1401/2 to MUC

With the obvious acknowledgment that aircraft assignments are subject to change, either during advanced schedule changes or day-of irrops, do we expect AMS (AY1301/1302) to stay an A350 this summer? I'm looking at flying in August. I've seen the A350 scheduled for AMS during previous summers, so it seems somewhat established as an A350 destination--less certain than LHR but perhaps more certain than a new destination like MUC. But any additional/other insights would be appreciated.

Yep, I see that variation in August. Mostly wondering if folks have anecdotes on how "safe" a bet a widebody (I don't care A330 or A350) is for AMS, obviously acknowledging that I personally could be impacted by an advanced schedule change or last-minute swap/irrops.
