Default Top UPS international layover?

Just a UPS wannabe here, dying to one day fly your MD's or 747's overseas. To you UPS types, what is your favorite international layover and why? Thanks so much,

CRJammin

Another one with big jet syndrome. I miss the 727 and the 30 minute leg to Decatur.

Default Heck yeah, CGN...

What's wrong with Cologne? Fun city, good people...not the best hotel, but you can get anywhere in Europe from there if you've got a long enough layover.

Otherwise, Sydney...maybe Honolulu.

Hong Kong is nice too...

What don't you like about the Maritim?

Default CGN Maritim...

The one in CGN has some renovation issues that they seem to be trying to correct. They have, however, been more than accommodating what with UPS' history there, etc. The Intercontinental 'down the road' is much nicer...

In any case, doesn't much matter...Cologne's a fun city. Shouldn't have to hole up in the hotel...

I haven't been there since August so I don't remember any renovations going on. I've enjoyed all of my visits to CGN and the Maritim. Never been to the Intercontinental. I do like the location of the Maritim though.

I have to agree with FIT's list. HKG and CGN are great layovers with something always going on
