I flew this route recently and was refused (by 2 representatives) to be on the FC standby list from IAH to MSY because it was booked as one international flight LHR – MSY. This was a first for me. I thought IAH to MSY was domestic travel and I should be eligible. In fact, on the outgoing CO-4 (MSY - via IAH – LHR), I have been upgraded in the past. Is it different leaving the country?
Does anyone know or understand the rules?


In answer to the original question, I could have made this connection in 45-min.
