# Papeete, Tahiti to Easter Island, Chile Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia
globalmax 07:32 UTC 23 Apr 2014 | I am trying to figure out how to fly from Tahiti to Easter Island. I understand that LAN Chile is the airline to do this with, however the LAN website, and other information I was able to find so far, does not seem clear about Papeete to Easter Island flights. (The other direction - Santiago, Chile to Easter Island is straight forward.) I have found one site that claims there are two flights per week, whereas LP says one flight - but days of the week are mysteriously not mentioned. So, the question to those in the know - which day (s) of the week do flights leave Papeete,Tahit to Easter Island, Chile? I am thinking of a one-way flight, as from Easter Island, I plan on traveling on to Santiago,Chile - from where I intend to gradually make my way home to Vancouver (likely via Los Angeles). Anyone any experience with this itinerary? Thanks in advance, max |
