Scores
- On time
- OAG's June 2026 monthly report ranked Pegasus fifth among major airlines worldwide, and FlightStats route samples from Sabiha Gokcen ran 80 to 98% on time in 2026. Iran bookings, however, have been cancelled at short notice.
- Aircraft and comfort
- Average age 4.5 years across 118 aircraft at the end of 2024; ch-aviation named it the world's second-youngest fleet in the 100-plus class for 2025. Tight seat pitch, no screens.
- Baggage allowance
- Light fare: one 3 kg under-seat bag only. Saver, Saver Plus and Comfort Flex: one cabin bag plus one 20 kg checked bag on international flights, per the airline's baggage page.
- Service and food
- Low-cost: food and drink are sold on board and seats are paid extras on the cheaper fares.
- Changes and refunds
- Only Comfort Flex waives change and cancellation fees (up to 2 hours before departure); Light and Saver fares carry fees or are not refundable, and complaints about refunds are common.

- Cheap onward flights from Istanbul (SAW) and Yerevan to Europe
What is not

Tips

- Buy Saver, not Light, if you have a suitcase
