£330 is the cheapest I can find via TravelUp.
I booked two trips to HEL via TravelUp and it’s all been fine, however, reading the comments on TrustPilot, I wouldn’t buy the Silver or Gold packages as the £15 and £10 codes you get for future usage never seem to work on the website and according to reviews the agents make false promises of resolution times, call backs and email replies. So book the standard package and hope for the best.

Finnair can "take over" your ticket 7-days before departure. So in case of a delay or problem, wait a bit then contact them within this time window to resolve rebookings etc. Found their customer support chat to be very useful on this ticket.

I did this run yesterday and it was very enjoyable. The lounges are fantastic. My only regret is not looking closer at the aircraft as there is quite some variety on the route. I went out at 07:30 on the A319 and came back at 16:00 on the A350. A350 was great but I was hoping to try the new Finnair business product which, I believe, is on the A330. I did the trip to get me over the line for silver so no real need to do it agin. I paid £274 but £330 is still a great deal!!
