There's no longer a scheduled fuel stop on this flight, right? Is there even a way to look up a fuel stop, or would the schedule show "zero" stops anyway if pax weren't allowed off?

I have a 2:45 scheduled connection at JNB, so I presume I'd make it even if weather forced a stop. I'm guessing the refueling would take about an hour.
