I've started toying with going to Easter Island and it seems (only an impression without rigor) that it may be much less expensive to do some local tour operator's tour rather than trying to put air and hotel together separately. I would look at that as an alternative for peace of mind.
You can also get to PPT on HA (redeem or earn DL miles on), then from PPT to IPC on LA (OW). If just going to IPC and not to SCL or LIM, going via PPT (HA or Air Tahiti Nui) with a stopover in PPT is the way to go IMO.
