Lots of business class availability on SIN-LHR and LHR-SIN SQ non-stop A380 flights
Have been booking SIN-LHR and LHR-SIN from June out to Nov/Dec, and see lots of availability, on some days on all three daily A380 non-stop flights, even for two tickets.
Have to call ICC to get these.
KVS shows no availability, and even SQ Krisflyer shows "waitlist" only CS@ for many dates when ICC can book you on the flight for 30,000 BMI points plus GBP 202 plus GBP 140 for taxes.
At the same time, SIN-LAX, LAX-SIN as well as SIN-JFK/EWR, JFK/EWR-SIN in business class on SQ25/26 A380 and SQ21/22 non-stop seem to have dried up now. Managed to book a few of these a few weeks ago, but no luck any more.
Just a refernce point in case someone wants to redeem in the last few days before 31 May

It's been like this for months, BMI has an exclusive agreement with SQ in regard to access Business class award seats.

I know BMI has exclusive arrangement with SQ. The point is the LHR sector is suddenly wide open, where as the NYC and LAX sectors, which used to have good of availability on the A380s and the non-stops, now are showing almost no or very limited availability going into 31 May
