I've been allocated a seat in economy on a Finnair A350 XWB a 278 seat plane.and I'd like to check if there are unforeseen issues with it so I thought there'd be an assessment at seatguru.com but the layout of my plane isn't there. Any other sources of this type of info?

What sort of "issue" are you concerned about? Too close to the toilets? Baby being next to you?1

Seatguru seat maps are no longer updated - which is why OP cannot find their aircraft type there. It would probably be better if they removed it or had a banner saying the data is from pre-covid.marcia_ said:2 -
When do you fly? It's possible that Seatguru will add the airfraft to its system before you fly. I would keep checking with them every couple of weeks.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

Hi. Seatguru is a bit rubbish. The best guide is Aerolopa. They have the A350’s though not any 278 seat ones. But they list three so have a look. Doesn’t say a lot about the Economy seats - probably because they are much of a muchness. If they are right at the back you’ll get a lot of loo traffic and movement as the tail swings about a bit.Which seat are you in?0

this is the 278 seater one from Aerolopa https://www.aerolopa.com/ay-359-43jjimi_man said:The best guide is Aerolopa. They have the A350’s though not any 278 seat ones.
(43 busines + 24 premium +211 economy = 278)1 -

Seatguru won't be getting any updates. Tripadvisor who own it made this decision 3 or 4 years ago and there's no indication of them reversing that decision.
