From Santiago to Easter Island by Easter Island Forum
Can I go by Easter Island from Santiago? The Easter Island is considered to be the most distant island in the atlantic. There' s a vessel that holds provisions and holds stowage, but I believe it is limited to those who live on Easter Island and take ruling missions.

Retrospect: To LATAM Business Class 787 Santiago Easter Island
Our Mexico City to Santiago trip was with a Boeing 787-8, but this trip was with the slightly bigger 787-9. The two aircraft have 30 business-class seating, with different floor plans due to the position of the second doorway. Whereas the 787-8 has three lines of three lines of Business Classic and then a cab behind the second line of two further lines, the 787-9 has a five-row, individual 5-line in a 2-2-2-setting.
Whilst the seating on the two aircraft is quite similar, there are some fine variations, which include the canopies. For my part, I choose the 787-9's reds and greys rather than the 787-8's oranges. LATAM's 787-9 are fully forwardfaced, fully low-profile seat as fitted as standard. However they have no kind of divider between the seat, while the 787-8 has a small divider.
Checks on the seating were between the two. At our on-board seating, we already had earphones that were the same as on the last one. Approximately 10 mins after the acclimatization the team came by to provide beverages before leaving, with a selection between fresh running waters and oranges. We didn't have disco sour or champaign this year.
Whilst the crews were fine, I noticed that they were significantly less enchanting than the crews on the one before. After most of the guests had gotten used to the atmosphere, the cabin staff taxied a car with amenities, papers and journals down the corridor. Whilst the plane was flying from Mexico City had an awesome convenience kit, this was easier.
That' s just enough, considering this was a home trip, so I'm amazed they even had one. There was no readings, although the cabin hostess said: "You should at least take this souvenir with you. During the last take-off, the cabin crews spread cushions and duvets, but they did so before take-off.
Around 9:30 am the skipper told us about our 4h30min and that we would be about 5-10min late due to traffic jams. By 9:40 am the doors were shut (except for one place in Blue Line everything was occupied) and the crews switched on the beacon. We were released for take-off after a United 767 touched down.
It was a pretty long launching pad and then a gentle ascent. Buckle was turned off about 10 min after take-off, and we dampened our shutters as we flew right over the sea and had no view for the next few inches.
Seemed like a large number of our guests in our busi-ness classes were switching from a red-eye plane because most of them were quite weary. One full minute after the start the cream handed out hot hand Towels. I' ve received many complains about the food services on this trip and I would accept that they should do better.
It is a fairly small (and not very tasty) food for a plane ride that is jammed after over five hour, and they don't even have some kind of snack for after dinner. Ford and I took a snooze after dinner because we were sleepy and wanted to walk on Easter Island.
After about three hour in the air we both fell asleep. When I ordered a cup of tea (which took two calls - this team was not pro-active at all), I observed a comedy and at 12 noon the skipper told us that we would land in 25 mins.
And the 787-9 has only two toilets in front of the cab, and strangely none through the second row of door. Like the 787-8, the two toilets are really not enough, especially as they are divided with the team. The Easter Island is very small, so there is nothing that stands in the way of the view.
First sight of the country is maybe 10 seconds before touchdown. Easter Island has a long take-off and landings strip, but the rest of the area is very small, so we had to drive back on the take-off and landings strip to get to the ramp (although there is no hurry, as only one aircraft can reach Easter Island at a time).
Whereas I usually don't like to leave the staircase, there is something I love about "tropical" islandairfields. The Easter Island only gets to Santiago and Papeete. LATAM Santiago to Papeete by air over Easter Island, which is such a fun trip, and that's why you can see the "Transit" sign below.
No kind of safety checkpoints on arrivals (while Easter Island is part of Chile, I thought it might be similar to Hawaii where you ask if you bought fruits, etc.). Firstly, I was struck by LATAM's services between Santiago and Easter Island. Only part of the trip that didn't make an impression was the dinner and services.
Breakfasts they were serving were quite inferior and not very satisfying, and the cabin crew did not contribute much to the event.
