Getting there & away
Lan Airlines (100-920; Av Atamu Tekena s/n; 9am-4:30pm Mon-Fri & 9am-12:30pm Sat), near Av Pont, is the only airline serving Rapa Nui. It has four flights per week to/from Santiago and two per week to/from Papeete (Tahiti). A standard economy round-trip fare from Santiago can range from US$700 to US$900. Flights are often overbooked, so it is essential to reconfirm your ticket two days before departure.
For travelers coming from Asia or Australia, a cheaper alternative is to stop here en route to (or from) South America, via Auckland, New Zealand. There you'll need to join an Air New Zealand flight to Papeete and connect with Lan Airlines' Papeete-Easter Island-Santiago service.
