Once when flying out of Jackson, WY
[~6400ft MSL] I was booked on a
Dash-8 turboprop plane to Denver. Due to temps being 2 degrees F higher than normal, they let us only fill 6 rows of seats out of 12 or something total. And we were required to use only the back rows of the plane. We also seemed to use nearly the whole runway for takeoff.
