does any one know of a way of determining the size of plane ( and the actual size of any overhead storage bins in the plane) you expect to fly.
my " home " air port is Kansas City International ( MCO ) and I have had to fly the first and last legs of my journeys on some smaller planes with little or no overhead bin spaces
I hate gate checking my camera back pack and praying that there is no damage to my gear.

the following is from TSA dated July 2018:
" Carry On Luggage Size: TSA and Airline Dimensions "

includes info by name of domestic and international air lines and how to " properly measure your carry on luggage "
and this info re: gate checks
Gate Checked Bags
Remember, even if your bag fits within your airlines specified dimensions and weight limit, you may still be asked to check or gate check your bag if the flight is full or it is an older, smaller plane. Not all planes have large enough overhead storage compartments to accommodate full sized carry on luggage. However, if you checked ahead and are sure your bag is eligible, you should not be assessed an extra fee in these circumstances.
