Hmm, interesting about Miami.
Last month our flight to France was delayed out of MIA, it was the first international flight I'd ever been on that had more than a half hour delay.

But then it comes in #7 on the list of airports with the most delayed departures.

Miami has direct flights to a lot of Caribbean destinations, and each of those (aside from Puerto Rico/USVI) count as international flights.

Remember, now Canada also counts as international destination and there's a lot of flights from JFK to Canada, especially Toronto and Montreal.

Top 5 I'd say:
Miami (Carribean destinations give it the nod over JFK)
JFK
LAX (Asia and Asia-Pacific)
Chicago O-Hare
Atlanta (pretty much only Delta out of ATL)

Not a direct flight or even the same plane gets you to Australia so that doesn't work either. The only airport that has a direct flight to every continent in the US (other than Antarctica) would be DFW.

JFK (New York)
MIA (Miami)
LAX (Los Angeles)
EWR (Newark)
ORD (Chicago)
ATL (Atlanta)
SFO (San Francisco)
IAH (Houston)
IAD (Washington)

Qantas operates a direct flight from JFK. It stops to refuel in LA, but it's the same plane from New York to Sydney. There is a difference between "direct" and "non-stop."

You also cannot fly to Africa from DFW.

Its not a non stop because it refuels in LA, but if you take that Qantas flight from New York to Sydney, its the same plane with a refueling stop. Same as the South African flight from Johanesburg to JFK with stops to refuel in Dakar, the Sydney Heathrow Qantas flight which stops in Singapore to refuel, and the Virgin flight from Sydney-heathrow which makes Hong Kong a refueling stop.
Also, the only airports in the US, IIRC that fly direct to Africa are: JFK, ATL, IAD and I think IAH has a United to Lagos.

Boston also has direct flights to Africa via TACV to Cape Verde.

And yes, Houston has a nonstop flight to Lagos thru United Airlines.
