PC Access Connecting FROM International Flight
 

I'm curious if any SkyTeam E+ members have had any success/problems with PC access when connecting to a CO domestic flight FROM a CO international flight (esp. an overnight flight). This is as opposed to connecting TO an international flight.

The CO, AF and ST websites aren't 100% clear on this point. I know AF allows access to its lounges @ CDG on arrival, but CO.com only mentions this benefit for PAX connecting TO an international flight, not FROM.
Specifically, I'll be arriving @ IAH from GIG (via GRU) and connecting on to a domestic flight.

Are you flying GRU-IAH in BF? If so, just take your boarding card from the arriving flight with you to the PC. Doesn't even matter if you're ST E+. If you're not flying in BF on the international leg, try asking the gate agent in GIG or GRU for a lounge pass to use on arrival at IAH. If that doesn't work, you might also try the CO customer service desk when you get to IAH. Good luck!

all website clearly state that ST elite plus members have access to ST lounges (including the PC) when trvaeling in any class on an international itinerary.

ST elites, must be in the premium cabin on an international itinerary.

i will be printing out the rules from the DL page and the CO page so i can access the crown room before a BF rip to GIG. most of the attendants have no clue about the rules, or that CO is even in ST.

haven't conducted an exhaustive poll, but had no problem getting into PC IAH on return from int'l flight

You are eligible on all connecting segments, whether outbound or returning. In my case a few months ago, I flew MXP-EWR on a Friday but was not flying home to FLL until the next day. Based on advice in this forum, when I landed in EWR, I spoke to the Intl. concierge, who made a notation in my record to "remind" the PC Staff to admit me to the PC. THe next day, I gained access with no problem whatsoever.
