Trying to do FLL-EYW-FLL from 10/17-10/19, but I don't know how to check loads if you guys get weight restricted, or what.

Neither do we!

hopefully someone on here from the FL system sees this and can ask a gate agent for you, I think that's the only way.

It's pretty hard to get 34 adults and a jump seater on the saab. even if fuel isn't an issue (eyw usually isnt), that many people usually have lots of bags. This month is still summer weights so that helps. We also do tpa to eyw. first flight of the day is best, its key west afterall, someone will be hungover and not show up for their seat. good luck!

Is it a B plus? Might have a chance but doubtful. If it was back in the good ole days when there were Jumpseaters there were lots of kids. Those days are pretty much gone...

yeah all are b+. empty weights are generally lower than colgan's birds were though. the gate gives us a list of pax that the FA reconciles with. pretty risky to make modifications.

Weight restricted at times due to bags or pax. there is EYW-RSW-MCO, doesnt seem to go super full the last times I did that route.

Eagle sends the 40 seater (maybe 37 seater) not sure on their ERJ short configurations. Rumor is those are weight rest too according to some eagle peeps I talked to from MIA. The ATR was a better choice for that route. WN also goes to TPA as an alternate, not sure how that one runs.

I think SWA is running MCO-EYW and they're not restricted from what I hear

Lets not forget fantasy fest starts in EYW that weekend. I would expect everything to be full from the 19th through the end of the month.
