Take it easy. I said it was all my GUESS, not fact and I'm doing research by posting here and looking at peoples' links at such. I don't know the answer yet that's why I'm on here. And by 'flights from Europe' or wherever I meant flights originating from Europe which I guessed would be going through some international airport outside of the US before landing in Hawaii in many cases. But maybe they all go through LAX, I don't know. Again, I'm just trying to figure it out. No one posted stats on Hawaii yet or brought up Hawaii as an international destination. What was your great contribution to the knowledge base, calling me stupid?
You are stupid, dahling. If your parents won't tell you then I will.
And based on your logic of "flights originating from Europe", then EVERY airport on the planet has nonstop flights to every destination on Earth. Nonstop direct flights means from point A to point B.
HNL does not go to Europe, South America, etc. [Mod cut: rude!!]
@ Surfer: Trolls aside, I meant no disrespect to you, so sorry if it sounded that way.
If we want to take wikipedia's word for it: "Hawaiian offers flights between the various airports of the Hawaiian Islands and also serves the continental United States, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, Tahiti, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan." And that's just Hawaiian. I know there are other Asian and Asian-Pacific Carriers that charter flights into the islands regularly too. And of course all European and other flights would have to layover somewhere, and if it's not LAX my guess is that it's Singapore or maybe Tokyo, so that;s even more flight coming in from international destinations. Again, I don't know the facts, but my thinking is just that Hawaii is the only real landing strip around for a couple thousand miles (even Wake island is 1000k+ miles ways) so my guess is that it gets a pretty high amount of incoming international flights relative to its size. But like I said, it could be that almost everything besides those few asian and south pacific routes go through LAX or SFO first for the sake of customs, I don't know. One thing's for sure… In total number, it's nowhere near what LAX, ORD or JFK would handle.
Most people have focused on the question of the total number of flights from a given airport, counting multiple daily flights to the same destination as more than one flight.
My answer is not based on the number of daily flights, but instead on the total number of international destinations served by each airport.
When we count this way, we find that New York JFK is hands down above Miami.
Here are the complete data:
*Again, the number is NOT daily flights, but the TOTAL number of international destinations served by each airport (including seasonal flights, but not including charter flights)

Dallas goes to London (Europe), Brisbane (Australia), Dubai (Middle East), Honolulu (Pacific Islands), Tokyo & Hong Kong (East Asia), Argentina & Brazil (South America). That is quite an impressive list for just one airport.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that IAH is the only airport in the US to fly non stop to every continent. I would probably go with JFK, LAX or ORD. I read that ATL airport has the highest amount of traffic in the world..
Ewgh yeah but so what.
Houston flies to very few international/european destinations.

Well...mission accomplished.
If you're going to insult people, you should take care, lest the same insult be directed at you. "Nonstop" is a subset of "Direct" but they are not necessarily the same thing. "Nonstop" means going from Point A to Point B without making any intermediate stops. "Direct" means going from Point A to Point B on the same aircraft with the same flight number. (Yeah, I know, "change of gauge" is considered "direct," but I personally don't count it as such.) It may be a nonstop, or it may stop at Points C, D, and/or E along the way. But a thru-passenger from A to B may remain on this plane for the duration of the trip.
If you want to introduce connections into the mix, and you don't place a limit on the number of connections between any two airports, then I would guess that nearly every commercial airport in the world is linked to every other one. But that's not at all what otterprods said.
