My buddy and I did this run from JFK a month ago. He was easily able to switch to the IAH-EWR flight on standby for the final segment (and got it bumped up to Y as an added bonus). Just ask in the PC (or at a gate) and they should do it for you pretty quickly. I wouldn't expect it to work for the initial LGA-CLE segment.
