Flight 714 DFW-BOS diverted to MCO on May 3
 

Anyone know why flight 714 was diverted to MCO at 1am on its was to Boston?

That's a pretty odd diversion... unless it was planned since MCO is a maintenance base.

Wow that is interesting because that same aircraft, N646JB, was used on my Minneapolis St Paul inaugural flights earlier in the day.
However, it was interesting that that the aircraft left MCO within an hour.

I did some checking... here is what I found in expertflyer... it was a planned fuel stop.

There was lots of weather in the middle of the country yesterday, so they might have to take a rather strange routing. But I felt bad for the passengers and a 4am arrival was not easy.
