This is a bit disappointing to hear, but it certainly makes sense. Given that my trip on the A380 in a suite for Jan 2021 has been cancelled I am currently sitting on a very large pile of miles. I'm planning on re-booking the trip for winter 2022. Given my large pile of miles, I can afford an advantage award from LHR-SIN. I think I recall reading that suites awards LHR-SIN are rarely available even as advantage awards. Is that true? Hopefully the A380 will be back in 2022!
