I just brought a One World ticket from STA trying to do this South Pacific island hop from South America to New Zealand.
Was hoping to go Santiago - East Island - Papeete - Auckland. I was told this is not possible as Papeete and Easter Island do not link on the OneWorld ticket - So how are you going to do it for an Inter Cont Segment?
The most annoying thing is that I was then told that the Santiago - Auckland route is about to be stopped so I need to do Santiago - Los Angeles (no stay allowed!!!) - Auckland.
