Trying to jump/ passride with family ord to slc tomorrow. While there are a couple seats open, anyone know if that route is often weight restricted? It is a Shuttle America E-170.
Thanks.

Usually the crew can remove, or at least lower the number of blocked seats. The restrictions are accompanied with a bag restriction which is typically in the 70s or 80s. Usual bag numbers are around 20 - 30. Add a few kids to the mix and the 170 can go full with a jumpseater. In my experience anyway.
