Pegasus Airlines offers four fare bundles Light, Saver, Saver Plus, and Comfort Flex each with different baggage allowances. On international flights, the Light package includes only a small underseat bag (40×30×15 cm, 3 kg). Saver and above include a cabin bag (55×40×23 cm, 8 kg) plus 20 kg checked baggage.

Pegasus Airlines connects over 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, making it a go-to choice for budget-conscious travelers. But its tiered fare system updated in February 2024 has left many passengers confused about exactly what their ticket includes. Show up at the gate with the wrong bag and you could face a fee that costs more than the flight itself.

What Is the Pegasus Airlines Baggage Allowance for Each Fare Type?

Pegasus Airlines baggage allowance depends entirely on which of its four flight bundles you book. On international and North Cyprus flights, the Light package includes no cabin bag and no checked bag only a small underseat bag. Saver, Saver Plus, and Comfort Flex all include a full cabin bag and 20 kg of checked baggage. Domestic rules differ slightly.

Important: The Light package is only available on international and North Cyprus routes. There is no Light package for domestic Turkish flights.

What Is the Pegasus Airlines Hand Luggage and Carry-On Size Limit?

Pegasus Airlines hand luggage rules differ based on your route and fare type. On domestic flights, all passengers can bring one cabin bag of up to 55×40×23 cm and 8 kg. On international flights, Light package passengers are restricted to one underseat bag only (40×30×15 cm, max 3 kg), while Saver and above passengers can bring both an underseat bag and a full cabin bag.

Edge case: If you arrive at the boarding gate with a cabin bag but booked the Light package, the bag will not be allowed into the cabin it will be checked under the aircraft and you’ll be charged an extra fee on the spot. Always verify your package before heading to the airport.

What Are the Pegasus Airlines Checked Baggage Weight Limits?

Pegasus Airlines checked baggage allowance is based on weight, not the number of pieces. The maximum weight per individual bag is 32 kg any single bag exceeding this will not be accepted. For Saver and above, the standard allowance is 20 kg on international routes and 15–20 kg on domestic flights depending on the bundle.

If you need more than your included allowance, you can purchase extra kilos in advance through flypgs.com, the Pegasus mobile app, via a travel agent, or at the airport counter.

What Are the Pegasus Airlines Baggage Fees and Prices in 2026?

Pegasus Airlines baggage fees vary by destination, purchase channel, and how far in advance you buy. Purchasing online or via the app before your flight consistently offers the lowest prices. Airport counter prices are higher, and call center fees are highest of all.

International flight extra baggage fees (airport purchase, 0–12 hours before departure):

Adding a cabin bag on international flights at the airport: €25 for most destinations (€20 for Belgium, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Croatia).

Connecting flights (international–international): Extra baggage costs €35 for 12 kg, €55 for 20 kg, and €13/kg over that. Cabin bag on a connecting international flight: €40.

Domestic flights (web/app, 3+ hours before departure): TRY 260 per kg over 15 kg, or TRY 1,300 for a 5 kg block.

Cyprus flights (web/app, 3+ hours before): €6 for 12 kg, €8 for 20 kg, €3/kg over 20 kg.

Cost scenario: What does overweight baggage actually cost?

Say you booked a Saver package (20 kg included) on a London–Istanbul route and arrive at the airport with a 27 kg bag. That’s 7 kg over your allowance. At €9/kg at the airport counter, you’re paying €63 in surprise fees. Book online in advance and the per-kg rate drops, potentially cutting that bill roughly in half.

What Qualifies as Special Baggage on Pegasus Airlines?

Sports equipment and musical instruments are accepted but carry their own pricing rules. If your instrument fits within cabin bag dimensions (55×40×23 cm, 8 kg), it travels for free. Larger instruments can be placed in the seat next to you on international flights for €65, though you must notify Pegasus in advance.

Sports equipment fees (indicative USD rates):

• Golf set (clubs, balls, shoes): $30
• Ski/snowboard set: $30
• Diving set: $30
• Bicycle: $50
• Surfing equipment: $50
• Other equipment (kites, canoes, archery gear): $45

Always contact Pegasus before traveling with special equipment to confirm availability and current pricing, as rates may be updated.

How Can You Avoid Pegasus Baggage Fees?

Avoiding surprise charges comes down to three things: book the right package, buy extra baggage early, and pack smart.

• Buy extra baggage when booking your ticket. Prices are lowest through flypgs.com or the Pegasus mobile app, especially more than 3 hours before departure.
• Join Pegasus BolBol Extra. BolBol Extra loyalty members receive a 50% discount on additional checked baggage purchases made via the website or app.
• Use both your underseat bag and cabin bag strategically. Pack heavier items in your underseat bag to distribute weight, and keep liquids accessible for security.
• Weigh your bags at home. Bathroom scales plus a bag hanging from your hand are surprisingly accurate and far cheaper than airport excess fees.
• Choose Saver Plus if you need seat selection. It includes 20 kg checked baggage and costs less overall than upgrading mid-booking or at the airport.
