SQ is flying to CPT daily

[EWR]

Don't see this posted anywhere but I just found out SQ is flying to CPT daily from 26 March 2018. I first learnt about it from a reschedule notice I got from SIA regarding my JNB flight. Apparently, JNB flights with no tag on to CPT on Mons, Thurs and Sats will continue on to CPT. Great for commercial customers, but repeatedly, these non tag on flights were the easiest to score premium saver awards to JNB
