We'll see if the LIM flights actually resume. It seemed like an odd route to me, so I wonder. The biggest advantage for Americans is that it avoided the $140 "reciprocal" fee collected at SCL if you land there on an int'l flight.

iahphx... I am planning a June trip to Easter Island with a stop over in LIM on the return. Indeed, the LIM -> IPC non-stop is gone. Because SCL is the Chilean city I will land, I will to pay $140 per person, even though I am only transiting, right? Do I need a visa to visit Easter Island?
