Charlotte doesn't get much nonstop long-haul international traffic. From DOT, here's a list of total enplanements on nonstop routes to Europe and South America between 1/1/2013 and 6/20/3013:

Code:
Destination         Pax     Weekly Avg
Frankfurt, Germany  64,146  2,495
Munich, Germany     42,148  1,639
London, United King 40,498  1,575
Rio de Janeiro, Bra 25,672  998
Paris, France       18,799  731
Rome, Italy         15,966  621
Dublin, Ireland     8,835   344
Madrid, Spain       7,077   275
Sao Paulo, Brazil   2,872   112
Barcelona, Spain    222     9
To put this in perspective, these 226,235 international enplanements represent only 2.3% of CLT's 10,009,726 enplanements between January and June 2013.

I also pulled all Charlotte domestic traffic on Star Alliance and One World carriers, including US/UA/AA-affiliated regional carriers. By my count, roughly 29% of Charlotte's total OW/*A traffic - including both O&D and connecting passengers - comes from airports for which Charlotte is arguably more convenient than, or as convenient as, any other US/AA hub for many connections. This data covers 1/1/2013 to 9/30/2013:
