Long lay-overs between flights in Santiago, Chile is a common occurrence however you can make this a pleasurable experience by going to one of the relaxing airport VIP lounges tht are on offer at C. Arturo Merino-Benitez international airport.
An airport lounge offers a quiet and comfortable place to escape from the crowds of the departure hall. You can take a shower, enjoy a meal & a few quiet drinks, upload some holiday pics to facebook with the free wifi on offer, watch TV or have a snooze on one of the comfy padded sofas.
