Obviously, I don't want to check it as losing it would negate my whole reason for going! I'm in upgraded F from PDX-DEN on a UA 757 so I think they'll be able to accommodate it in the closet or someplace, but my question pertains to the DEN-YUL leg operated by AC on the E190 (first AC flight too, btw! ^ ):

Will I be able to store my tube in the E90 overhead bins, or can the FA store it in a closet onboard? I'd really rather not even gate check the thing, if that's what they'll do in DEN. I'm assuming E90's use a jet bridge in DEN?

Thanks and looking forward to my first AC/E90 experience!
