Going up I'm on a 717 and a CR9, coming back I am on a 333 and a E90. That's why I took AC - the 333.
I'm am mostly concerned with getting stuck somewhere - I don't mind gate checking if I get it back at the end of that leg. But, if I have to check it in YUL, and get stuck in YYZ, I wont have access to my bag.
I wish airlines would standardize on dimensions. Its not like the bin size changes because the airline that operates it does.
