Oh dear. I was looking at their flightpath on FR24 and wondering why they initially turned north for about 30 minutes before returning to ADL. As soon as I saw the above post the penny dropped: they probably weren't signed off for ETOPS. The northly track would have kept them within 60 minutes of ADL. I'm guessing they were looking to see if they had enough fuel to get to PER non-ETOPS. The answer being no, so back to ADL.
