Easter Island-Papeete flight schedules

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia

Anyone know how often LAN Chile (I think they are the only ones flying this route) flies from Easter Island to Papeete, and back? We plan to start in Sao Paulo and fly to Easter Island, via Santiago (only choice), then on to Papeete, tour a bit there (Moorea and Bora Bora, maybe someplace else), then back to Sao Paulo (I think our only practical option is to fly back via Easter Island and Santiago again). Knowing the days of the week these flights go, we can look up prices on the Internet. Thanks!

From the LanChile website:

Easter Island to PPT
Depart Wednesday and Sunday
21:25, Arrive 23:20 (5:55 flight time)

PPT to Easter Island
Depart Monday and Thursday
at 00:30 arrive 10:05 (5:35 flight time)

Thanks. Where on the site did you find flight schedules showing different days of flights? I did not find that.

From the Reservation and Services menu I selected Flight Information, I then clicked on the oneworld pdf timetable link.

Remember on this route that LAN doesn't actually use etickets. They'll sell you one, but you MUST pick up the paper tickets in PPT. You have to keep the return half somewhere safe while you're in Rapa Nui.
