Poor Customer Service and Passenger Safety Concerns
I am very disappointed with Pegasus customer service. My 18-year-old daughter will travel alone from Bucharest to Riyadh via Istanbul on October 19β20. Due to the security situation in Riyadh, I asked what would happen if her connecting flight was cancelled. Despite several attempts, I received only vague answers. I was not asking for a refund, only clear information about my daughterβs safety. This lack of support and communication is unacceptable.Overall

PNR: 2FRJSV Flight: PC690, October 20, 2026 Route: BucharestβIstanbulβRiyadh I purchased my 18-year-old daughterβs tickets. She will be travelling alone. Due to the security situation in Riyadh, I repeatedly asked what would happen if her connecting flight were cancelled and whether she could be stranded in Istanbul. Instead of clear answers, I received generic responses and was told that only the passenger could request information, despite asking only about flight operations and safety procedures. I understand that cancellations cannot be predicted, but I expect clear information about passenger assistance and connecting-flight procedures.

Delayed outward flight compensation
Dear Pegasus Airlines Customer Relations, I am writing to submit a compensation claim under UK Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 (UK261) in relation to the significant delay to Pegasus Airlines flight PC1180 from Manchester (MAN) to Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en (SAW) on 22 August 2026. Booking reference: 29K8YW Passengers: Zahur Ahmed Soge Rehana Begum Zahur Soge Both passengers are British passport holders. Flight PC1180 was scheduled to arrive in Istanbul at 18:00, but the aircraft did not land until approximately 22:39, representing a delay of at least 4 hours and 39 minutes. The actual arrival at the gate was later still. As the flight departed from a UK airport and falls within the 1,500β3,500 km distance band, UK261 applies. As the arrival delay exceeded three hours, compensation of Β£350 per passenger is payable, subject to the provisions regarding extraordinary circumstances. During the delay, Pegasus staff advised passengers that the disruption was due to βtechnical issuesβ with the aircraft. UK Civil Aviation Authority guidance confirms that ordinary aircraft technical problems are generally not considered extraordinary circumstances for the purposes of UK261. We therefore request payment of: Β£350 Γ 2 passengers = Β£700 total compensation Plus $17 x 2 passengers for meals and refreshments at Manchester airport that the passengers were unable to use. Please arrange payment by bank transfer and advise what banking information you require in order to process the payment. If Pegasus considers that extraordinary circumstances apply, please provide: The precise nature and cause of the technical issue; The basis on which Pegasus considers the issue to constitute an extraordinary circumstance under UK261; and Details of the reasonable measures taken by Pegasus to prevent or minimise the resulting delay. For ease of reference, supporting documentation is attached, including: Booking confirmation/e-ticket for booking reference 29K8YW Boarding pass β Zahur Ahmed Soge Boarding pass β Rehana Begum Zahur Soge Evidence of the original scheduled arrival time and subsequent delay. Please confirm receipt of this claim and provide a reference number for any future correspondence. I look forward to your confirmation and settlement of the Β£734 compensation due to the two passengers. Kind regards,Overall

Reference No. 152-15-08-6 β Request for Compensation
Dear Pegasus Airlines Customer Relations, Thank you for your acknowledgement of my complaint (Reference No. **152-15-08-6**). In my initial complaint, I requested reimbursement for the additional expenses I incurred. However, after reflecting on everything that happened, I would also like to formally request compensation for the considerable inconvenience, stress, loss of time, and financial impact caused by the repeated changes to my wife's booking (PNR: **26MXBPY**). This journey was planned to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My wife was travelling from Jordan while I was travelling from Kuwait, and both flights had been carefully coordinated. Based on the confirmed itinerary, I arranged hotels in different cities, rented a car, purchased an eSIM, obtained leave from work, and organized the entire trip. Unfortunately, the repeated cancellation, rebooking, and subsequent rescheduling of the flight forced me to spend many hours contacting Pegasus, the booking agency, and other travel providers to rearrange my plans. Most importantly, the repeated changes caused me to completely lose confidence in the reliability of the booking. As a result, I had no choice but to purchase another ticket with a different airline at my own expense to avoid the risk of further disruptions. In addition to the financial losses already mentioned in my previous complaint, this situation caused significant stress and anxiety for both my wife and me and affected what was meant to be a very special occasion. For these reasons, I respectfully request that Pegasus Airlines consider providing appropriate compensation in addition to reimbursing the direct expenses already claimed. I sincerely hope Pegasus will resolve this matter fairly and restore my confidence in your airline. Kind regards, **Hani Mohammad Hasan El-Bawwayeh** Mobile: +965 60002410 KuwaitOverall

Heliya Afshari- 20058307@studenti.uniupo.it
Dear Pegasus Guest Relations, I am submitting this as a formal complaint regarding the refund of my booking. Passenger: Heliya Afshari Date of Birth: 10 November 1990 Booking Reference (PNR): 22KHWU I paid approximately 340 EUR for my booking. I understand that I voluntarily changed my flight before the cancellation. However, this is not the issue. The original flight was cancelled by Pegasus. The flight that I changed to was also cancelled by Pegasus. In the end, none of the flights operated, and I did not receive any transportation service from Pegasus. Despite this, Pegasus has reduced my refund to approximately 257 EUR, stating that the amount paid for the ticket change is non-refundable. I cannot accept this explanation because the changed flight itself was also cancelled by Pegasus. Since no flight was operated and no transportation service was provided, I do not understand what service Pegasus is charging me for. Therefore, I formally request: 1. A detailed breakdown of my refund calculation, showing every deduction and the legal or contractual basis for each deduction. 2. The specific clause in the Pegasus Conditions of Carriage or fare rules that allows Pegasus to retain the change amount even though the changed flight was also cancelled by Pegasus. 3. A full review of my case by a supervisor or senior member of the Guest Relations team. 4. Reconsideration of my refund and payment of the full amount that I originally paid (approximately 340 EUR). I have been waiting for the resolution of this matter for several months. As a student, this money is very important to me, and I expect a fair resolution based on the circumstances of my case. If this matter cannot be resolved through Guest Relations, I kindly request a final written decision explaining the legal basis for the refund calculation, as I may need it for further review by the appropriate consumer protection or aviation authorities. I look forward to your prompt response. Kind regards, Heliya AfshariOverall

Pegasus Airlines failed in its duty of care and did not take proper responsibility for disabled passengers affected by this disruption.
I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding my flight from Manchester to Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, scheduled to depart at 11:55. Approximately five minutes after take-off, we heard a loud bang from one of the aircraft's engines. About ten minutes later, the captain informed us that the aircraft had been struck by lightning and that we would be returning to Manchester Airport. This was an extremely frightening experience and caused me considerable fear and stress. Because the aircraft had a large amount of fuel on board, we remained in the air for approximately one hour before landing safely at Manchester Airport. Following a technical inspection, we were informed that the aircraft was not airworthy and would not be allowed to continue the flight. After disembarking, we were taken to a quiet area on the lower level of the airport where there was very little assistance available. Although I had boarded the aircraft with wheelchair assistance and special assistance (PRM assistance), I am a disabled passenger and received no further assistance from Pegasus staff during the next 11 hours. No member of staff checked on my wellbeing or offered the additional support that I required. I was forced to wait in very difficult conditions until approximately 23:15, when a replacement Pegasus aircraft finally became available. Due to my disability, the prolonged wait caused me severe physical pain, discomfort, and emotional distress. We eventually arrived at Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en Airport at approximately 5:30 a.m. local time. Because of the significant delay, I missed the airport transfer that I had already paid for and was forced to pay again for alternative transportation to reach my destination. I respectfully request: A full explanation of the incident and the reasons for the prolonged delay. An explanation of why appropriate assistance was not provided to me as a disabled passenger during the 11-hour delay. Reimbursement of my additional transportation expenses in Istanbul. Information about any compensation or reimbursement to which I may be entitled under the applicable passenger rights regulations.Overall

incorrect baggage weight calculation
Subject: Request for refund due to incorrect baggage weight calculation Dear Pegasus Airlines Customer Relations, My name is Mariia Shelofastova. I travelled on flight PC5067 from Antalya (AYT) to Berlin (BER) on 19 June 2026. My booking reference is 1ZBJ5P. At Antalya Airport I was charged 7,310 TRY for excess baggage. The baggage tags issued by Pegasus showed the following weights: * Bag 1 β 20 kg * Bag 2 β 42 kg * Bag 3 β 18 kg Total: 80 kg However, this information is incorrect. Before travelling, I weighed my luggage at home: * Bag 1 β 20 kg * Bag 2 β 24.7 kg * Bag 3 β 18 kg Total: 62.7 kg After arrival in Berlin, my baggage was weighed again by the airport handling company (AAS). The official document issued by AAS confirms that the total weight of my three bags was 63.1 kg, which is consistent with my own measurements. I believe that the weight of one suitcase was entered incorrectly during check-in. The suitcase that actually weighed approximately 24.7 kg was recorded as 42 kg, resulting in an incorrect total baggage weight of 80 kg and an excessive baggage charge. I kindly request that Pegasus Airlines: 1. Investigate the baggage weighing process at Antalya Airport. 2. Review the baggage weight records from check-in. 3. Refund the excess baggage charges that I paid due to this apparent error. Attached are: * Proof of payment (7,310 TRY); * Three baggage tags; * AAS document confirming the total baggage weight of 63.1 kg; * Boarding pass (if required). I look forward to your prompt response. Kind regards, Mariia Shelofastova Booking reference (PNR): 1ZBJ5P Expenses reimbursement

The short story: My Budapest Istanbul flight was delayed so I delayed the connection. They didn't book me the flight at the next day. They book two days later which made my trip impossible. They booked me the flight which would land just right before my return flight (the same aircraft). It made my trip impossible. They refused to compensate. I tried several times. I have other emails too but so hard to collect them because they replied with different case numbers to disrupt me.Anonymous member

Reimbursement Request for Replacement Flight Ticket Due to Flight Cancellation
Dear Pegasus Customer Relations, I am writing to formally request reimbursement for the replacement flight ticket that I had to purchase following the cancellation of my Istanbul (SAW) to Beirut (BEY) flight under booking reference 23V9YG. My original itinerary was: PC1136: Paris Orly (ORY) to Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en (SAW) on 10 June 2026 PC756: Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en (SAW) to Beirut (BEY) on 11 June 2026 After arriving at Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en Airport, I was informed that my flight to Beirut had been cancelled due to security reasons. I immediately went to the Pegasus service desk at the airport to seek assistance. As I urgently needed to travel to Beirut, I had to purchase a replacement ticket on Turkish Airlines from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Beirut on 11 June 2026. The total cost of this replacement ticket was β¬480, of which β¬280 was paid by bank card and β¬200 was paid in cash at the Pegasus desk at Sabiha Airport. Although I do not have a receipt for the cash payment, I understand that Pegasus should be able to verify this transaction through its own records. For your review, I have attached the following supporting documents: My original Pegasus itinerary from Paris (ORY) to Beirut (BEY) via Istanbul Sabiha (SAW) (10β11 June 2026). My Turkish Airlines ticket from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Beirut (BEY) on 11 June 2026. My bank payment receipt showing the original Pegasus ticket payment of β¬391.28. My bank statement showing the β¬280 card payment made for the replacement Turkish Airlines ticket. A copy of my passport. A copy of the passport page showing the Turkish entry and exit stamps dated 11 June 2026, confirming my transit through TΓΌrkiye in order to continue my journey to Beirut. I kindly request reimbursement of the replacement ticket cost and would appreciate your prompt review of my claim. If you require any additional information or supporting documentation, I will be happy to provide it. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Flight from Muscat to Istanbul (transit) was delayed by an hour and a half so we missed the connecting flight from Istanbul to Manchester. We arrived in Istanbul at around 11am on the Friday and were told the next flight was 8am the next day (21 hours later). We were told to go from one office to the next in istanbul sabiha airport and some of the offices had no staff working in them. I had my 5 year old and 2 year old sons with me who were exhausted by this point. When we finally spoke to someone they gave us a hotel but said we would have to wait 45 minutes for the shuttle bus. I asked if I could get a voucher for food for my children as they were crying from hunger and had no food and they said if we wanted a food voucher I would have to give up the hotel voucher as it was only one or the other which is extremely unfair and inconsiderate especially as we were in this situation due to their delay.Overall

Re: 14498179 About your Application [ ref:!00D580I8eu.!500N20gDza9:ref ]
I am submitting a complaint regarding my unresolved refund request with Pegasus Airlines (Application No. 14498179). On March 21, Pegasus confirmed in writing that I would be reimbursed β¬105. Despite providing my bank details promptly, I have still not received the payment, nor any response to my repeated follow-up emails. This claim relates to my delayed baggage following a 3-hour delay of the Pegasus flight departing from Basel, which resulted in insufficient transfer time in Turkey. Although I managed to board the connecting flight, one of my suitcases did not arrive with me. The situation was further aggravated by the extremely delayed handling of the baggage, which remained in Turkey for approximately two weeks. During this period, I received inconsistent and inaccurate information regarding its location and delivery status. As a direct consequence of the delay, perishable food items contained in the suitcase had to be discarded, and my son was deprived of access to essential sports equipment. Despite these circumstances, I accepted Pegasus Airlinesβ proposed compensation of β¬105 in good faith. However, more than one month later, the agreed reimbursement remains unpaid and all further communication attempts have been ignored. I respectfully request immediate payment of the agreed compensation without any further delay.Overall

Formal Claim for Compensation under EC Regulation 261/2004 β Flight PC5506 (22 April 2026)
Dear Sir or Madam, I am submitting a formal claim for compensation under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 in relation to a significantly delayed flight operated by Pegasus Airlines. Flight details: Flight number: PC5506 Route: Rotterdam (RTM) β Antalya (AYT) Date: 22 April 2026 Booking reference (PNR): 1VR4QU Passengers: Radoslaw Lenart and Karolina Baldowska The flight was scheduled to depart at 12:55; however, it departed at approximately 18:00, resulting in a delay exceeding 5 hours. Consequently, the arrival at the final destination was delayed by more than 3 hours. Under Articles 5 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, passengers are entitled to compensation in such circumstances unless the delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Based on the available information, there is no indication that such extraordinary circumstances occurred. Furthermore, I attempted to access detailed flight information via your system; however, I encountered an error (ERR_C73), which prevented me from retrieving any additional details regarding the disruption. As access to this information is restricted, I formally request full disclosure of the exact cause of the delay, including whether it was related to aircraft rotation, technical issues, or operational constraints. In light of the above, I hereby request compensation in the amount of 400 EUR per passenger, totalling 800 EUR for two passengers, in accordance with Article 7 of the Regulation. Refund 150 EUR per passanger totaling 300 EUR for lost one day reservation in Hotel. If you intend to deny this claim, please provide a detailed and substantiated explanation, including documentary evidence demonstrating the existence of extraordinary circumstances and proof that all reasonable measures were taken to avoid the delay. Please note that in the absence of a satisfactory response within a reasonable timeframe, I reserve the right to escalate this matter to the relevant National Enforcement Body and/or pursue legal action without further notice.

Complaint Regarding Flight Rescheduling, Financial Losses, and Passenger Rights Violation β PNR 1NBLPLβ
Complainant: Ahmed Hamam Booking Reference: PNR 1NBLPL Flight Details Original Confirmed Itinerary: Flight PC1012: Cologne (CGN) β Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en (SAW) on 08 April 2026 Connecting Flight PC628: Istanbul Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en (SAW) β Alexandria (HBE) on 08 April 2026 New Itinerary imposed by Pegasus Airlines: The second leg (SAW β HBE) was unilaterally changed from 08 April 2026 to 10 April 2026. This change resulted in a two-day delay and transformed a same-day connection into a two-night layover in Istanbul. Description of the Incident Due to the rescheduling imposed by Pegasus Airlines, I was required to remain in transit for an additional two days. As an Egyptian passport holder, this extended layover made obtaining a Turkey e-Visa mandatory. During the check-in process at Cologne Airport, a Pegasus Airlines staff member explicitly informed me that I would not be permitted to board the flight without a valid Turkey e-Visa. Based on this direct instruction, I was left with no alternative but to immediately apply for and purchase the official e-Visa through Visits Turkiye on 8 April 2026 at a cost of 849.05 AED (Order #307928 β receipt attached). Additional Financial Losses and Damages The delay caused further financial and personal damages, including: Living expenses in Germany: Due to the two-day delay, I incurred additional costs for food and transportation amounting to at least β¬150. Costs incurred in Egypt: The delay forced me to reschedule my plans in Egypt, resulting in additional unnecessary expenses of β¬130 and logistical complications. Missed personal commitment: I missed an important personal appointment in Egypt that could not be rescheduled, causing significant personal and professional inconvenience. Attempt to Resolve On 9 April 2026, I contacted Visits Turkiye to request a refund for the e-Visa. This request was refused on the basis that the visa had already been issued (e-Visa Reference No: JET-3K69; full correspondence attached). Liability All damages described above β including the visa fee, additional living expenses in Germany, and costs incurred in Egypt β were a direct result of: The unilateral flight rescheduling by Pegasus Airlines, and The explicit instruction given by Pegasus Airlines staff at check-in. Had the original itinerary on 08 April 2026 been maintained, none of these costs or disruptions would have occurred. Claim I hereby request that Pegasus Airlines: Refund the Turkey e-Visa fee in the amount of 849.05 AED, Reimburse additional expenses incurred in Germany (minimum β¬150 for food and transportation), Compensate for additional costs incurred in Egypt due to rescheduling β¬130, and Provide financial compensation in accordance with EU Regulation 261/2004 for the delay, inconvenience, and disruption caused.

compensation under EU Regulation EC261/2004 regarding my flight PC5506 on 22 April 2026 from Rotterdam The Hague Airport to Antalya.
Dear Pegasus Airlines Customer Relations, I am writing to submit a formal claim for compensation under EU Regulation EC261/2004 regarding my flight PC5506 on 22 April 2026 from Rotterdam The Hague Airport to Antalya. The flight arrived with a delay of approximately 5 hours. According to the information provided at the airport, the delay was caused by a technical issue with the aircraft. As established in EU case law, technical problems are generally not considered extraordinary circumstances and therefore do not exempt the airline from its obligation to pay compensation. Since the delay exceeded 3 hours upon arrival, I am entitled to financial compensation under EC261. Given the flight distance (between 1500 km and 3500 km), I request compensation of β¬400 per passenger.

Missed connection and additional expenses due to insufficient transfer time and lack of assistance
Subject: Complaint regarding missed connection β flight PC1311 (07β08 April 2026) Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my travel disruption involving Pegasus Airlines flight PC1311 on 08 April 2026 (Sharm El Sheikh β Istanbul β Helsinki), which resulted in a missed connection to Riga. This situation originated from the cancellation of my original direct flight (BT0782, Sharm El Sheikh β Riga), after which I was rebooked onto an alternative itinerary involving Pegasus Airlines. According to the provided itinerary: Flight PC1311 arrived in Helsinki at 14:40 (scheduled), but the actual arrival time was approximately 14:57; My connecting flight from Helsinki to Riga was scheduled at 15:40. This left an extremely limited connection time of approximately 40 minutes or less, which was clearly insufficient given the circumstances. Upon arrival in Helsinki, I was required to: disembark the aircraft, proceed through the airport, collect checked baggage, complete a new check-in, and pass security control again. Given the size of Helsinki Airport and the fact that the baggage claim area assigned (belt No. 7) was located far from arrivals, it was physically impossible to complete all required procedures within the available time. Additionally, we made several attempts to contact the airline representatives and were instructed to wait for assistance at the baggage claim area. However, no assistance was provided, and no representative arrived. As a result, we were unable to board the connecting flight to Riga. Due to the lack of support and absence of a viable alternative solution, we were forced to independently arrange our transportation and purchase new tickets at our own expense in order to reach our final destination. Given the above, I kindly request: A full review of this situation, including the feasibility of the provided connection time; Compensation for the consequences of the missed connection and the lack of assistance provided; Reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred due to this disruption. Please note that the missed connection was not due to passenger fault, but rather due to insufficient transfer time, delayed arrival, and lack of assistance. I am prepared to provide all supporting documents upon request. I look forward to your response. Karina Prokopenko, karnelija15@gmail.com , 130698-10005 Expenses reimbursement

Flight disruption with no assistance and misleading information
My flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Sarajevo on 29 March 2026 (PNR 1Z14ZB) was severely disrupted, causing a delay of almost 48 hours. After boarding, we were kept on the plane for over 2 hours. Due to weather conditions, the flight was diverted to another airport in Istanbul. After arrival, there was no proper assistance, no clear instructions, and airline representatives were unavailable or unhelpful. We had to wait in queues for 5β6 hours to rebook tickets, with no priority given to passengers with children. I was travelling with my 7-year-old child, who was exhausted, stressed, and unwell. No food, water, or accommodation was provided. All expenses (hotel, food, transport) had to be covered by me. Additionally, we received incorrect information about our new flight, which could have caused us to miss it again. As a result, we suffered financial losses, health issues, and significant emotional stress. I request full reimbursement of expenses and compensation for this disruption.Overall

Denied Boarding Due to Airline Error and Mishandling of Cabin Baggage
I am submitting this complaint regarding a denied boarding incident involving my family (2 passengers) on a Pegasus Airlines return flight. During transit in Turkey, airline staff informed them that there was no space in the cabin and took a small cabin bag from my younger brother. They did not inform him that the bag would be checked in. Unfortunately, this bag contained essential ID documents belonging to my mother and brother. At the boarding gate, they were asked to present their ID documents, but these were inside the bag that had been taken by the airline staff. As a result, they were denied boarding due to an error entirely caused by the airline. Because of this incident, they were forced to remain at the airport for approximately one full day, suffering from extreme fatigue and stress. We had to purchase new flight tickets urgently, as well as train tickets from DΓΌsseldorf instead of Hannover due to limited availability. Additional expenses for meals were also incurred during the delay. This situation caused significant financial loss and physical hardship. I am therefore requesting full compensation of 600 EUR per passenger, in addition to reimbursement of all incurred expenses.Overall

My journey from Stuttgart to Sharm El Sheikh via Istanbul was significantly disrupted. The first flight (PC972, Stuttgart β Sabiha GΓΆkΓ§en, scheduled departure at 18:00 on 07/04/2026) was delayed by more than 3 hours. After boarding, all passengers were deboarded and subjected to an additional full security check before being allowed to board again. Due to this delay, I missed my connecting flight (PC632, scheduled at 01:10 on 08/04/2026). As a result, I was rebooked onto a much later flight (PC630 at 06:55 on 08/04/2026), which caused a significant overall delay and forced me to spend the entire night at the airport. Therefore, the total delay at my final destination was not just 3 hours, but substantially longer due to the missed connection and overnight rebooking. No hotel accommodation was provided during this time; only one meal voucher was offered. This situation resulted in a major disruption to my travel plans. pegasus didnβt answer me in chatNo reason given

Onderwerp Formal Complaint and Compensation Request under EU Regulation 261/2004 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally file a complaint and request compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 regarding my recent travel experience with your airline. My flight was delayed for more than 24 hours and was ultimately cancelled, along with many other flights. As my journey included a connecting flight via Istanbul, I was stranded at the airport and unable to return home. As a 54-year-old woman traveling alone, this situation was extremely distressing. Due to the overwhelming crowds and chaotic conditions at the service desks, I was unable to access assistance for hotel accommodation or meal vouchers. The queues were excessively long, and due to my health condition, I was not physically able to stand in line for extended periods. No alternative or accessible support was offered. Consequently, I was forced to remain at the airport overnight, where I had to sleep on the floor. I also had to purchase my own food and water at high airport prices, as no assistance was provided during this time. I experienced more than 24 hours without proper rest. Although I received an email allowing me to rebook my flight, the airlineβs website was overloaded, making it extremely difficult to do so. Eventually, I managed to rebook my flight independently, without any support from your staff. I am aware that other passengers were provided with hotel accommodation and meal vouchers, which I did not receive. The only assistance I was given was a meal voucher the following morning at check-in, which was clearly insufficient under the circumstances. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers are entitled to care and assistance during delays and cancellations, including meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation where necessary. Furthermore, I understand that I may also be entitled to financial compensation due to the significant delay and disruption to my journey. Given the above, I kindly request: Financial compensation in accordance with EU Regulation 261/2004 Reimbursement of all additional expenses incurred (food and drinks) A formal explanation for the lack of assistance provided Please inform me of the procedure to submit receipts for reimbursement. I trust you will handle this matter appropriately and I look forward to your prompt response. Yours faithfully, Meltem YildizOverall

Unfair excess baggage charge
I am writing to formally complain about the treatment I received from your ground staff and to request a full refund of an unfair excess baggage fee. On March 17, 2026, I traveled with Pegasus Airlines on flight PC2679 from Ankara (ESB) to Istanbul (SAW), followed by flight PC550 from Istanbul (SAW) to Yerevan (EVN). My departure time from Ankara was scheduled for 19:05. I arrived at the airport around 14:00. At approximately 17:45 (about 1 hours and 20 minutes before departure), I approached the Pegasus check-in counter to issue my ticket and handle my baggage. My suitcase had 2 kg of excess weight. Since I was allowed to carry 7 kg in my backpack as cabin baggage, I asked the staff for permission to transfer the extra 2 kg into my backpack. They noticed that I am not Turkish and do not speak Turkish, and that I had a connecting flight. Immediately after seeing me, the staff emptied the counter and left. For the next period (until 75 minutes before the flight), there was no staff member at the Pegasus counter to accept my checked baggage. Because of this, I was forced to proceed to security without checking in my suitcase properly. At the boarding gate, the same male staff member (who had been at the counter earlier) along with a female colleague stopped me and demanded that I pay 50 Euros for excess baggage. I was charged the equivalent of 85 CAD (or 2,556 Turkish Lira). I paid this amount under pressure just before boarding. I was present at the counter more than one hour before the flight, but no employee was available to assist me with baggage drop-off. It appears the charge was imposed simply because I am a tourist who does not speak Turkish. This treatment feels discriminatory and highly unprofessional. I kindly request that you investigate this incident thoroughly. The staffβs behavior β abandoning the counter and then charging me at the gate β caused unnecessary stress and an unfair fee. Please refund the full amount of 50 Euros (or the equivalent 2,556 TL / 85 CAD) to my Canadian bank account. I have attached the following documents for your reference: Copy of my ticket / boarding pass Payment receipt for the 50 Euros charge Photos taken at the airport I look forward to your prompt investigation and a positive resolution. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Overall

We are writing to submit a formal complaint and claim for compensation and reimbursement regarding a serious disruption we experienced on our journey on 1 January 2026. Passengers: - Jessica La Duca - Stefano Gallo Booking details: - PNR: 1EF7VV - Route: Milan Bergamo (BGY) β Istanbul β Muscat (MCT) - Scheduled flights: - PC1214 Milan Bergamo β Istanbul - PC870 Istanbul β Muscat The flight PC1214 from Milan Bergamo to Istanbul was significantly delayed, for reasons attributable to the airline, which caused us to miss our connecting flight PC870 to Muscat. As a consequence: - no suitable immediate alternative flights were available, - we reached Muscat only on the morning of 4 January 2026, - resulting in a total delay of more than 48 hours compared to the originally scheduled arrival time. The itinerary was booked under a single reservation, therefore responsibility for managing the missed connection and re-routing lies with the operating carrier. In light of the above, we formally request: 1. Financial compensation in accordance with EU Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, applicable to flights departing from an EU airport (Milan Bergamo); 2. Reimbursement of any additional expenses incurred due to the prolonged delay (documentation can be provided upon request); 3. A written response explaining the handling of this disruption. We can provide: - booking confirmation - boarding passes - flight details and actual arrival times We kindly ask for your written reply within the legally established timeframe.

It circled/held, then diverted to Istanbul Airport (IST). Onboard delay at IST: We were kept onboard for a long time without deplaning. During this wait, we received a Pegasus email notifying that our connecting flight PC656 was rescheduled to 00:40 on 08 Dec. Ferry/second sector movement: After the extended onboard wait, the same aircraft took off again from IST and flew to SAW. Actual arrival to SAW (end of PC1282): We landed at SAW at approximately 01:30 on 08 Dec 2025 β after both the original departure time (22:45 on 07 Dec) and the rescheduled time (00:40 on 08 Dec) for PC656. β Result: we missed our connection PC656 through no fault of our own. At the transfer desk in SAW (early 08 Dec): Pegasus staff informed us that no seats were available to Baghdad on 08 Dec for our family of five. Rerouting provided by Pegasus: The earliest reroute offered was 09 Dec 2025 at 23:30, arriving around 02:30 on 10 Dec 2025 (Baghdad time). With no alternative available for our family size, we accepted this rerouting after staff indicated that hotel accommodation and meals would be provided until the new flight. 3) Impact on our journey We arrived at our final destination (Baghdad) over 30 hours late versus our original itineraryβeven compared to the revised connection time. We lost two full days of our holiday and had to change plans completely. The disruption caused significant stress and inconvenience to me, my spouse, and our three minor children. Please note that Pegasus Airlines took my family and me to a hotel in Istanbul on the morning of December 8th until our next flight to Baghdad on the evening of December 9th. The hotel included meals.Nael A

Terrible customer service at boarding
Subject Formal Complaint Regarding Inhumane Treatment and Denied Boarding Dear Pegasus Airlines Management, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the unacceptable and unprofessional treatment we experienced at the boarding counter. The behavior of the staff was inhumane, uncooperative, and showed a complete lack of understanding or respect for passengers. Despite our attempts to explain the situation calmly, there was no willingness to assist or provide any reasonable support. I would like to clearly state that the visa issue was fully resolved more than one hour before the scheduled departure time. However, the staff at the counter deliberately delayed the process for over thirty minutes without justification, only to later inform us that we were no longer allowed to board the aircraft. This decision was made despite sufficient time remaining before departure. What made the situation even more distressing was the attitude of the supervisor and staff members present. They demonstrated extreme harshness, lack of empathy, and an obvious unwillingness to help or even listen, which is completely unacceptable for an airline expected to uphold professional customer service standards. As a result of this incident, we suffered financial loss, wasted time, and significant emotional distress. Therefore, I formally request the following: A thorough investigation into the conduct of the staff and supervisor involved A clear written explanation for denying us boarding Appropriate compensation, refund, or a fair resolution to cover the damages incurred I trust that Pegasus Airlines will take this complaint seriously and respond promptly.

Formal Complaint Regarding Missed Connecting Flight and Unacceptable Treatment
Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Missed Connecting Flight and Unacceptable Treatment Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally complain about the handling of our journey involving a connecting flight through Istanbul and the unacceptable treatment we experienced from Pegasus Airlines staff. The first leg of our journey was delayed by approximately 40 minutes, resulting in our arrival in Istanbul at 07:36 instead of the scheduled 06:55. After passing through passport control, it was already 08:10. Our connecting flight was scheduled to depart at 09:00. My mother, who was travelling with me, is a Type 2 diabetic and suffers from arthritis. As a result of the delay, she urgently needed to use the restroom and obtain food to take with her medication to prevent her blood sugar levels from dropping to a dangerous level. Due to her arthritis, she also walks considerably slower than the average passenger. The distance between passport control and the departure gate was significant and took over ten minutes to walk. We arrived at the departure gate at approximately 08:43, well before the scheduled departure time. However, we were informed that the gate had already closed and that we would not be permitted to board, despite the aircraft still being on the ground. We explained that we had arrived in good time, and that had the first flight not been delayed, we would have reached the gate even earlier. Unfortunately, our concerns were dismissed, and the staff we encountered were rude, dismissive, and uncooperative. Instead of offering assistance, we were repeatedly redirected to different Pegasus kiosks around the airport simply to lodge a complaint. After visiting at least four different Pegasus service points, we were eventually told that the only option to travel home the same day was to pay an additional Β£1,100 for new tickets. This demand was both unreasonable and distressing. We were at the gate approximately 17 minutes before departure, and the missed connection was a direct result of the initial delay. Furthermore, the situation demonstrated a complete lack of consideration for a passenger with serious medical conditions who is unable to move as quickly as others. The entire experience was extremely upsetting and poorly managed. While one staff member later showed professionalism and courtesy, the majority of our interactions fell far below an acceptable standard of customer service. I am requesting a full investigation into this matter, along with a full refund of the additional costs incurred and appropriate compensation for the distress, inconvenience, and unacceptable treatment we experienced. I also expect Pegasus Airlines to review its procedures and staff training to ensure passengers with medical conditions or reduced mobility are treated fairly and with dignity. I look forward to your prompt response. Yours faithfully, Ghulam Ali RasoolOverall
These complaints are the subjective opinion of AirAdvisor members and not of AirAdvisor International Inc. We will try to monitor complaints for compliance (as feasible).

Have you had problems on a recent Pegasus flight that you’d like to complain about? If you were unsatisfied by poor customer service, flight interruptions, or baggage issues, this article should give you the answers you’re looking for.
For urgent matters, always contact the airline by phone, but if you’ve had other kinds of complaints, keep reading!
This article will detail the kinds of complaints you can make, which ones can lead to cash compensation, your air passenger rights, how to get in touch with Pegasus, and how AirAdvisor can help make complaints easy.
Find out if you are owed compensation for a disrupted flight.Check Your Flight
As a passenger, you can complain about anything really, but we want to focus on the complaints that will get you compensation.
By far the most commonly lodged complaint against Pegasus involves flight delays and cancellations. For delays of 3 or more hours, or for cancellations that happen with less than 14 days notice, you could claim up to €600.
If you get bumped from a flight because of overbooking, then you might want to submit a complaint for denied boarding because you could get compensated for this inconvenience as well.
Lost and damaged baggage is also another frequent cause of complaints. If you filed a missing baggage report at the airport when you landed, you can usually get airline compensation up to €1,500, thanks to the rules of the Montreal Convention.
Even the most highly regarded airlines can slip up from time to time. So, any time you find your flight experience lacking, you should always let the airline know. Most of the time, they want to hear what passengers have to say so that they can make improvements to their services.
If you make a complaint, remember to do so as civilly as possible. You might get vouchers or discounts to make up for the less-than-perfect service.
The kinds of complaints we just mentioned are covered under European air passenger rights regulations. These describe how much you’re entitled to for each specific situation. In Europe, these rules are known as Regulation EU 261/2004.

To get the best response for your issue, you’ll need to collect some information so you can present it in an organized fashion. Also, don’t put off filing your complaint because the longer you wait, the more likely you’ll forget or misplace important details.
Here are the best ways to reach Pegasus.
You can send your complaint by email to: guest.relations@flypgs.com.
While complaints are most always handled via email or webform, sometimes you’ll need to contact the airline for other reasons.
Customer Service Numbers
You can also use the airline’s feedback form on the official website. It tends to have some glitches, but you can always try it.

If lodging a complaint directly with the airline feels uncomfortable, you can use an advocate like AirAdvisor. When filing delay or cancellation complaints, you’ll certainly have an easier experience and a greater chance of success by trusting our legal professionals. It’s easy!
When we secure your compensation, we will charge a small fee to cover our costs and pay our legal experts, but in rare cases when a complaint claim is denied, there is no fee.

Verified CustomerIβd like to thank Air Advisor for their help. I didn't think Iβd get anything, but after two yearsβand with their assistanceβI received compensation. Thank you very much.

Verified CustomerI used Air Advisor for the first time and received compensation for a flight that was delayed by more than three hours. There were some difficulties with the airline, and the process took two years to complete. Air Advisor had to involve lawyers and take legal action, which reduced the compensation to 50% of the original amount, exactly as clearly explained on their website. Overall, I am satisfied with the service and believe that Air Advisor did a good job handling my case.
