Departure: Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL)
Flights from Santiago to Easter Island leave from Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL), serving Santiago - santiago is the capital of Chile, set between the Andes and the coastal range, with hills, museums and vineyards nearby. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Buses run from the airport to the Pajaritos and Los Heroes metro stations and are the budget option; a private car saves changing at the metro with luggage and is the simple choice for Las Condes, Vitacura, Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, or the ski resorts.

- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: Mataveri International Airport (Hanga Roa) (IPC) and getting into Easter Island
Arrival is at Mataveri International Airport (Hanga Roa) (IPC), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is a remote Pacific island of nearly 900 giant moai statues, volcano craters and one small town, Hanga Roa. We provide airport transfers in Easter Island with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Many travellers continue from Easter Island to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Santiago to Easter Island flight
Before you compare the Santiago to Easter Island flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours can provide the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Santiago to Easter Island
Families fly the Santiago to Easter Island route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Easter Island when you land
Ahu Tongariki, Orongo village, Anakena beach and Rano Raraku quarry are what most passengers come to Easter Island for. Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is a remote Pacific island of nearly 900 giant moai statues, volcano craters and one small town, Hanga Roa.

Best time to fly from Santiago to Easter Island
Flights from Santiago to Easter Island run all year, daily (1-2 a day). High season in Easter Island follows the holidays and the big events. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.
Return flight from Easter Island to Santiago
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Easter Island to Santiago booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Santiago to Easter Island?
The cost of a flight from Santiago to Easter Island depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Santiago to Easter Island: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Santiago to Easter Island is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Santiago to Easter Island flight first, then the alternatives.
