So you're saying that the amount of international people has nothing to do with the international flavor of the city? Hmmm.
Anyway, you trying to paint Canada and Mexico as not being international is cute, but when you realize you're just being an Atlanta booster, it all makes sense.
At this point you have proven you are absolutely clueless as to the premise of this thread.
International airline connectivity is not a reflection of a cities ethnic makeup as it pertains to this subject. If it was, please explain to us why an area as heavily Scandanavian as Seattle lost it's nonstops to Copenhagen on SAS after over 30 years?
First you claim that there is no way ATL could compete with Seattle and Honolulu. You were just incredulous that it could possibly be as connected. When proven massively wrong, you then slyly inject race with your reference to Atlanta's African connections.
Then you boost up Trans-border flights to something they are not in a sad atttempt to back up your misinformed claims of Reagan, Wayne, Midway & San Jose being globally connected.
Now it just appears that you are bitter at being proven wrong about Seattle & Honolulu's sub-par connections to non-Asian destinations vs. Atlanta's vastly superior global reach.
Yeah...I was talking about more the spirit of the thread and not specifically the flight
statistics. We all know what those are.
Considering I was born and raised in Chicago and have lived in Honolulu for less than year, I'd guess the homer is you. Honolulu and Seattle have a vastly larger international community, which will result in international "connections" past just flights. I assumed we understood that I was talking about more than just flights. I guess you were still talking about flights.
Gary has very few if any flights at all at the moment.
There are very occassional charters to Cancun, but not lately. Gary would love to have more.
Midway has a few flights to Canada & Mexico, but hardly any.
O'Hare has 99.9% of the international service in Chicagoland.
Just as an aside, there are literally dozens and dozens of airports around the country with International in their name. It is more often than not in name only, sadly.

No, but they do, and you said that they have none at all in any way.

No, I was talking about global flights the entire time - per the title of this thread.
And sorry, but if you think Seattle has a vastly larger international community than Atlanta, you are wrong again.
I can't WAIT unitl the Census comes out next year. So many myths are going to explode.

I don't doubt that Honolulu and Seattle have a much larger international community in percentages then Atlanta, but I don't know about raw numbers. Atlanta has a much bigger metro than either one of those two cities, so in raw numbers, I'm not sure Atlanta doesn't have a larger international community.
But either way, I don't think the numbers posted are that surprising. Considering Honolulu and Seattle don't have an airline company anywhere close to the size of Delta, United, or American Airlines, I'm sure a good portion of the international flights out of those two cities are foriegn companies. Also, Honolulu's and Seattle's airports very much benefit from their geographical location.
Oh, I was talking "Most internationally connected U.S. cities" like the title of the thread. My bad. But good luck on that census next year, I guess? You seem to have a lot personally invested in it, hope it ends well for you.
