How many people can an airplane carry? Depends on the aircraft. Some planes such as the 787 and 320 can carry up too 250 passengers, While an Embraer 145 can only hold about 25-45.
I hope you realize there are only 24 business class seats on the plane as opposed to 300+ economy seats. First I would check if there were any open by trying to book a seat in business on the same flight your taking using expedia or another site for tickets.
