ssflyer - this weird about the BHX-CUN flight refuelling at MAN.

I went out on this flight on 23rd August and it was direct BHX-CUN with about 95%+ load.

I did some checking up on this flight and it hadn't completed a fuel stop in a considerable amount of time and further conversations with a TOM FO (in CUN departure lounge prior to the return journey ) suggested the diversion was no longer required since the installation of the winglets on the 763's - can we assume this was weather related (i.e - extra fuel due to weather enroute or over the pond etc?)

Alex.
