Power banks and batteries
Lithium batteries travel in the cabin, never in the hold. Since 2025 most carriers also ban using or charging a power bank during the flight.
| Item | Cabin | Checked | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power bank up to 100 WhAbout 27,000 mAh at 3.7 V | Allowed | Not allowed | One per passenger, under the seat, not in the overhead bin. Do not use or charge it on board. |
| Power bank 100 to 160 Wh | Approval needed | Not allowed | Maximum two, with airline approval before the flight. |
| Power bank over 160 Wh | Not allowed | Not allowed | Cannot travel on Pegasus Airlines in any form. |
| Spare laptop and camera batteries | Allowed | Not allowed | Terminals taped or in original packaging, up to 100 Wh each. |
| Devices with built-in batteriesLaptops, phones, cameras, tablets | Allowed | Switched off | Better in the cabin. If checked, fully switched off and protected from accidental activation. |
| E-cigarettes and vapes | Allowed | Not allowed | Cabin only, never used on board. |
Checked baggage
Pegasus prices baggage into the package rather than the ticket. Light carries neither a cabin bag nor a checked one, just an underseat bag of 3 kg. Saver, Saver Plus and Comfort Flex all carry 20 kg, the same figure for all three, so the step up between them buys flexibility rather than kilograms.
| Cabin | First bag | Second bag | Max weight per bag | Max size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light | From €15-€40 | From €25-€50 | 20 kg | Standard |
| Saver / Saver Plus / Comfort Flex | Included | From €15-€40 | 20 kg | Standard |
Light: No checked baggage included. Purchase online from 12 kg.
Saver / Saver Plus / Comfort Flex: 20 kg checked bag included on international and North Cyprus flights Allowances change by route, fare family and booking date, so confirm on the official Pegasus Airlines baggage page before you pack.
Checked bags by package
Pegasus sells four packages and only the cheapest leaves you without a bag. The other three carry exactly the same 20 kg, so paying up buys seat choice and free changes, not baggage.
| Light | No checked bag | |
|---|---|---|
| Saver | 20 kg | |
| Saver Plus | 20 kg | |
| Comfort Flex | 20 kg | |
Light also travels without a cabin bag: it allows one underseat bag of 40 x 30 x 15 cm and 3 kg, and nothing in the overhead locker. Checked baggage can be added to it online from 12 kg. These are the international and North Cyprus rules; domestic flights keep the older allowances.
Excess baggage fees
What sits outside the package you booked.
| Situation | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a bag to a Light fare | From 12 kg upward | Cheapest on flypgs.com or in the Pegasus app |
| Cabin bag on a Light fare | Bought separately | Only where the flight has cabin baggage capacity left |
| Arriving at the gate with a bag Light does not cover | Gate rate | Also applies if the bag is over the package size or weight |
| Underseat bag | Included on every package | 40 x 30 x 15 cm and up to 3 kg |
Pegasus rebuilt these packages for international and North Cyprus flights, and tickets bought before the change keep the rules they were sold under. Domestic flights are unaffected.
Before you pack
Six habits that keep you out of the excess baggage queue.
- Weigh bags at homeA luggage scale costs less than a single overweight bag fee, and it settles the argument at home rather than at the counter.
- Prepay extra weight onlineBuying through flypgs.com is 10 to 20 percent cheaper than paying at the counter.
- Wear the heavy itemsBoots, coats and jackets on your body do not count toward any limit.
- Use compression bagsVacuum bags cut clothing volume by up to 75 percent, which helps with the Standard size rule.
- Check your credit card perksSome premium cards include extra baggage or refund fees on selected airlines.
- Check your loyalty statusFrequent flyer tiers often add extra weight or an extra bag on top of the fare allowance.
Sports equipment, instruments and infants
Special items travel with conditions. Every one of them needs advance reservation, and acceptance at the airport is not guaranteed without it.
| Item | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Sports equipment (domestic) | 600 TRY (ski/diving/golf), 700 TRY (bicycle/sailboard) |
| Sports equipment (international) | €50 (ski/diving/golf), €65 (bicycle/sailboard) |
| Musical instruments | Free if ≤55x40x20 cm; larger requires extra seat |
| Pets in cabin (up to 8 kg) | 600 TRY domestic / €65 international |
Book special items online before travel. Airport prices are higher than the same allowance bought online, and hold space is first come, first served.
Check-in and bag drop deadlines
Counted back from scheduled departure. Miss the bag drop cut-off and the bag does not fly, even if you do.
Pegasus Airlines sets its check-in and bag drop deadlines by airport rather than publishing one timeline. Check the times on your booking, and allow longer if you have bags to drop.
If your bag does not arrive
Delayed and damaged bags follow a strict clock. Most claims fail because the report was made after leaving the airport.
Report before you leave the hall
Go to the Pegasus Airlines baggage services desk in the arrivals baggage hall. You get a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with a 10 character reference. Without it there is no claim.
Track with the PIR reference
Use the reference and your surname on the Pegasus Airlines baggage tracing page. Most delayed bags arrive within 48 hours and are delivered to your address free of charge.
Keep receipts, mind the deadlines
Essentials bought while the bag is missing can be claimed. Damage must be reported within 7 days, delayed bag expenses within 21 days of delivery, under the Montreal Convention.
