transcon in CO language is EWR to cities on the pacific coast. flights to SAN, LAX (and its surrounding airports), SFO (and its surrounding airports), SEA and PDX and their respective return flights are transcons. that's it.

anything westbound from EWR, ie PHX, LAS, SLC, RNO, DEN is not considered transcon and falls under the typlical 3.5 hour+ meal description described on co.com.

in addition, CLE to pacific coast cities are NOT considered transcons, nor are any pac coast flights originating from IAH.
