the info you posted above for yesterday’s flight indicates it pushed early at CUN, but didn’t actually take off until almost an hour and a half later
cun/out0512p off0631p ... that says fuel *might* have been a factor, but I’ll reiterate what I said above about other AS stations closer to the direct CUN-SEA route; Customs hours could certainly influence the choice of a diversion location
it would be interesting to look at those three flight tracks to see where the crews initiated the diversions
