Pegasus Airlines Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Pegasus Airlines is Turkey's main low-cost carrier, selling fare packages — Light, Saver, Saver Plus, and Comfort Flex. The cheapest Light package includes only a small underseat bag; a full cabin bag and checked baggage are paid add-ons. Saver and higher packages bundle in a cabin bag plus a checked bag. Adding baggage through Pegasus's digital channels (website/app) is the cheapest option.
The bottom line on Pegasus Airlines baggage
Pegasus Airlines is a bait-fare unbundler: the headline Light package buys you nothing but a 3 kg underseat bag (40 × 30 × 15 cm), with even a full cabin bag treated as a paid extra. The trap catches people who assume a normal carry-on is included — on international and North Cyprus flights Light has had no cabin bag at all since February 2025.
The reliable way to come out ahead is to add anything you need through the Pegasus website or app, where it is cheaper than the airport or gate — an extra piece at boarding runs about EUR 50. If you need both a cabin bag and a checked bag, compare buying add-ons against simply booking Saver, which bundles both.

Hidden pitfalls most travelers miss
- On international and North Cyprus flights the Light package has included no cabin bag at all since 14 February 2025 — only the 3 kg underseat bag (40 × 30 × 15 cm), so a normal carry-on must be bought or the fare upgraded.
- Adding a bag through the Pegasus website or app is cheaper than the airport or gate, where an extra or oversized piece runs about EUR 50 at boarding.
- Domestic Turkey and international flights follow different rules (15 kg vs 20 kg checked on Saver), so the same package means different allowances by route.
