Finnair's own seat map numbers each cabin on this aircraft from a fixed starting number rather than carrying on from the one in front — Business from row 1, Premium Economy from row 21, Economy from row 31, and the rear Economy section from row 51 behind the mid-cabin doors. The numbers in between — 8 to 20, 24 to 30 and 44 to 50 — are not used at all, and the mid-cabin lavatory bank is drawn in the space where row 44 would be. Finnair does not say why it numbers this way; that reading is ours, from its own drawing.
Finnair publishes 279 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 277. This map now draws every seat on Finnair's own drawing: 277, counted seat by seat, and re-counted from the drawing itself — 26 in Business, 21 in Premium Economy, 230 in Economy. Finnair's fleet page says the aircraft seats 279. The two-seat difference is Finnair against Finnair and it does not close: nothing on either Finnair page accounts for the pair, and nothing here invents them. 277 drawn + 2 that Finnair's own drawing does not show = 279 stated.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Two things about this aeroplane are not settled. First, the seat numbers in rows 64, 65, 66 and 67. The fuselage narrows there and the middle block drops from four seats to three; Finnair draws all three, but prints no letters for them. This map shows them as D, E and H, because that is how Finnair letters a three-wide middle block on this same drawing — its Premium Economy cabin is a 2-3-2 lettered A, C | D, E, H | J, L, with the letters printed at row 21 — so G is the seat that goes. That is our reading of Finnair's own scheme, not something Finnair states, and a passenger should confirm the letter at booking. The seats themselves are certain: Finnair draws seven seats at rows 64, 65 and 66 and five at row 67. Second, the total. Finnair's own fleet page gives the A330 a seating capacity of 279; every seat on Finnair's own drawing counts to 277, and we have not been able to find the other two on any Finnair page. That gap is stated here rather than closed with a guess.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
Quick verdict
In Economy Class, seat 51E is the best pick. Avoid seat 67A — seat doesn't recline.
About this cabin
Finnair's A330-300 in this configuration seats 277 (J/J/W/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Finnair flies only this one cabin layout on the A330-300 — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 3D | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 51E | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |
Seat map
Business Class
Business Class spans rows 1–7 in a 2-seat layout.
Premium Economy
Premium Economy spans rows 21–23 in a 2-3-2 layout, 38in pitch and 18in seat width. Worth avoiding: 22C, 22D, 22H, 22J — next to galley.
Economy Class
Economy Class spans rows 31–43 and 51–67 in a 2-4-2 layout, 30in pitch and 18in seat width. The strongest seats here are 51E, 51G. Worth avoiding: 67A, 67C, 67D, 67E — seat doesn't recline.
Row 43 is 43A, 43C, 43J and 43L only: the middle block of the forward Economy zone ends at row 42 and three lavatories stand in the space.
Seven seats, not eight: the fuselage narrows here and the middle block drops from four seats to three, which is what Finnair draws. Finnair prints no letters for those three, so they are shown as D, E and H — the lettering Finnair itself uses for a three-wide middle block on this same drawing — with G the position that goes. That reading is ours, not Finnair's; it is set out in plain words at the top of this page.
Row 67 is the last row and holds five seats: 67A and 67C, and the same narrowed middle block of three, with no 67J or 67L because a lavatory takes that corner of the cabin. As at rows 64 to 66, Finnair prints no letters for the middle three and D, E and H is our reading of Finnair's own scheme.

Best seats
Economy Class
- 51E — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
- 51G — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 22C | Premium Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 22D | Premium Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 22H | Premium Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 22J | Premium Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 67A | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 67C | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 67D | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 67E | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (16 seats: 23A, 23C, 23D, and 13 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- Often cold or draughty (13 seats: 2A, 2L, 7A, and 10 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- Narrower than usual (42 seats: 62A, 62C, 62D, and 39 more) — This section is narrower than other sections of the same cabin class on this aircraft, so the seat itself will feel tighter than you might expect.
- High foot traffic (27 seats: 1D, 1H, 2D, and 24 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (25 seats: 1D, 1H, 21A, and 22 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
