Believe it or not, lowly BWI once had a nonstop flight to Africa, namely Accra, Ghana. It lasted a few years before Ghana Airways went belly up. I recall reading that the flights were not particularly punctual or reliable, but that they operated with good loads when they did run.

I don't count a flight from Miami to Puerto del bla bla
Puerto Rico isn't counted as an International destination. Only countries which require a passport.

JFK, but only because domestic flights have been discouraged from using it.

You need to work on your geography.

You could make the argument about Miami to the Bahamas, or Cuba, Turks and Caicos, but Cancun is over an hour and half away by air.

You might want to check your sources again since they are incorrect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George...d_destinations

Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport has nonstop flights to South America, the Middle East, and East Asia in addition to Lagos, Nigeria. They also have nonstop flights to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Istanbul, Moscow, and Stavanger in Norway so the airport has a lot of nonstop flights to a lot of European destinations as well.
