The way the phone rep was talking it was BOS then either MIA or DFW or JFK to EZE (and he said it didn't matter as they calculated it by the BOS-EZE mileage; as if we had non-stops...???) all of which were available then LAN from EZE to SCL but nothing from SCL to IPC or back for the 40 or so days he looked at.

Are you saying go to Papeete from Santiago then turn around, come back, and stopover on Isla de Pascua then back to Santiago? That's legal? Or am I getting ahead of myself? AA rep definitely said there's no way on a OW award to go PPT to NZ or Oz

I might go for it; I suspect my better half might not - thinks I'm crazy as it is. Also thinks we can only sit in the front of the plane, too, but that's another story...and an extra 12 hours or so to get there, and the ground time in PPT...dunno...
