You do not need EF. Just go to CO.com and search that particular flight. Then click on the "Fare Rules" link in the right column (
or get the GreaseMonkey script here which does the clicking for you) and look for the R bucket. If it is anything other than 0 then you can confirm the upgrade with a CR1, SWU or miles.
Right now the flight has tons of R inventory available so it should clear immediately. The noon flight MSY-IAH is R0 so you would have to waitlist that one if you want the shorter layover.
