No problems at all with Cabin Plus, except for the forwardmost bins in F on the 737. They are a little shallower than those after Row 3 or so. 753 should be fine throughout.

The OP probably doesn't want to gate check and risk getting a ding in the bag. I don't mind with my Rimowa, but my wife always hates it.

Seriously though, he is correct, in this case, size does matter. PAX bringing oversized bags onto the aircraft usually slow down the boarding process, and I've had to take a few delays over the years as a result. People need to learn to play be the rules.... (Not saying you don't, so please don't take it that way)

(Not saying you don't, so please don't take it that way)No, my bag is a Rimowa Cabin, which complies with the dimensions AND fits in those bag size checkers at some airports.
But honestly, what is it with American domestic travellers and their oversized roll-ons?! I don't travel that often domestically in the US, but when I do, I would say at least 20-30% of the travellers are trying to take on a bag that anywhere else in the world would need to be checked in.
