That is correct. The OWE allows for backtracking if you go to a few countries in Africa, but the Globex doesn't.

The flight is probably a dummy flight that Lan put into the system to test its systems and forgot to remove. It happens now and again.

You sure musnt have taken it to Dakar since the range was only 1025 miles according to the wiki!
