The answer is that HOU should also be on the sticky list.

What makes HOU special outside of the DTW, SDF, RDU, DCA, LGA, and BDL that also get the ability to book int'l res to those 3 cities on August 5th? If anything, the sticky might just need to be updated with a full table of when cities get int'l options and to which markets.

Which that website clearly shows when HOU int'l bookings will be available and to which cities.

For international bookings, only HOU, ATL, BOS, BWI, MCO, or PIT can serve as the origination/destination airport.
All other cities require separate bookings for "positioning flights."

The link you're talking about says when the travel to cities begins, not when you can BOOK those flights.

Which is why the sticky needs updating. SW is frequently loading the website with new cities for international bookings.

Anyone else having issues booking companion pass online for international travel? I am required to fill in the gender field but it is greyed out. Works fine for domestic flights. Am forced to call in now every time and the CSR seemed to think it was a known issue. Southwest IT, why?

International Schedule - connection cities to AUA after Nov 1?
Any rumors if there will be other connection cities opening up tomorrow, May 19th to AUA? Currently, the connections go through MCO (Orlando), but I'm thinking that when the schedule opens up tomorrow through Jan 5, 2014, there must be other connection cities to support the west coast (Calif, Ore, Wa). Maybe Hou?

I added my companion to nonstop MDW-CUN and CUN-MDW flights without any problems this morning. They are for flights in December. I received confirmation emails for the companion with confirmation numbers. However, it has been over an hour and I still do not see the companion listed under the "My Travel" tab on my account (usually the companion shows up in about five minutes). I'm pretty confident everything is fine since I paid the taxes/fees and have a confirmation number for the companion, but I'll probably call in if it doesn't show up in another day or two.
