There are a ton of brand name hotels like Hiltons or Marriots or Hyatt properties. Many are on the lower end of those brands. You usually don't get points.

The problem is what some people hate, others love. I like the St. Michael in Germany because there's good, bucolic hiking right out the back door, food available 24hrs a day and laundry machines. Others don't like that place because of the old building it's right next door to the town church bells. I can fall asleep in a shopping cart, though.
If you like pound cake, I hear we still stay at the 5-towns near JFK. I haven't been there in a couple years, though.

Agree with Elevation, the US hotels leave some things to be desired but generally are fine. There is usually a short stay (closer to the airport) or a long stay (downtown). Some guys have a preference regardless of the length of a layover. I have yet to stay at an international hotel that isn’t nice. Some, like the JW Marriot in Dubai, are ridiculous.

Domestically Hamptons/HI Express are the worst you'll see. Usually you'll be in something better to include some pretty nice hotels in some parts. Internationally we stay at a mix of nice places (JW Marriots, Hiltons, etc.), International Garden in NRT or some of the AMC hotels in Germany.

I think it defines all that is ACMI.

They're usually average hotels that aren't close to much. You'll usually be able to walk to 2 or 3 fast food restaurants and one sit down. This is one area of the contract where the language is terrible and the company abuses it.

Can you really call yourself a freight dog if you've never stayed at the Five Towns? I do have a warm spot in my heart for them though. The company forced me to New York on the morning before Sandy hit. I watched the storm roll in, the transformers blow and the water rise from the third floor. I was there 7 days without power and the staff bent over backwards to try and make it as safe and comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Saw some crazy stuff that week though.

Hi all,
I have read a lot on the Atlas threads and I know it is fleet dependent but I was curious if it is possible to live outside the US, say Asia, and start your flying out there? Or would you need to start in the US?
Thanks in advance..
