Cape Air operates short-hop flights to islands and small communities: Cape Cod and the Islands, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and Essential Air Service routes in the Midwest and Mountain West.

Considerably less than on a jet. Weight limits are typically 25–50 lbs total depending on route and aircraft, and are a safety constraint rather than a revenue one — overweight bags may be refused rather than charged. Confirm before you pack, and ship anything bulky separately.
Possibly. On a nine-seat Cessna 402 the pilot assigns seats by weight and balance, and the co-pilot seat is a passenger seat. Many travellers consider it the best seat on the aircraft.
