The Santiago airport has all the practical services you'd expect: wireless Internet, traditional post office, cash machines (your U.S. bank card will work), luggage storage, children's play areas, restaurants of all types, etc.  But in keeping with its whimsical side, it also tempts you with more playful offerings, like a chair massage or the aromatherapy spa.

If you prefer a different sort of tasty treat, have a beer and a shrimp cocktail at this nautically-themed tavern, or get some World-class Chilean wine to take home at the Vinoteca.
