It was about 25 years ago or more.
I was travelling from Toronto to Quito with a change of planes in Miami.
Then one passenger took seat beside me. 
His final destination was Santiago.
I was surprised to hear he was going from Isla de Pascua, Chile to Santiago.
He told me the easiest and lowest cost was from the island to Wellington, Los Angeles, Miami.
Was he telling me the truth or just a tale?
For all I know, that island is far away from the rest of the world.
