What's the aircraft type for your flight to MSP?

Most long haul international flights at MSP depart roughly from gates G1-G6. A CRJ is likely to land down at the A and B gates, which would be bad news given that you're officially required to be on board international flights by T-30, although often this obviously isn't enforced. It's like a USA domestic connection, but you still are required to be on board by T-30 rather than T-10/15. A small plane also risks having to wait for a gate checked bag at MSP and then arriving at the departing international gate too late to get overhead bin space.

It might help to know how full these flights are likely to be,
