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. 

tip

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.

What Can Passengers Complain About?

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. 

warning

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.

Your Pegasus Passenger Rights

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.

What You’ll Need for Your Complaint

Pegasus refund request

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.

  1. Information about your trip. Pegasus will require your full name that matches your booking info, your booking number, and the departure and arrival airports for the flight in question.
  2. Your current contact information. Tell the airline the best ways to contact you. Provide as many specifics as possible so it won’t take longer than necessary for them to reach you.
  3. Details about the flight. For delays, add as many details as you can about why the flight was delayed. You can always make notes as you go.
  4. Receipts and supporting documents. If you spent any money because of the flight interruption, send Pegasus the receipts for reimbursement. Also, be prepared to send any other documents to help support your complaint like bag tags, photos, and any correspondence you’ve had with the airline.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment and seek compensation for the inconvenience I experienced due to a missed flight with your airline. I had a ticket for travel from the UK to Pakistan for my father’s funeral, involving a self-transfer at Istanbul Airport (Turkey) with Pegasus Airlines and no luggage. Unfortunately, the Pegasus staff at the airport did not allow me to board the flight, citing that I needed a visa for Turkey despite having no intention of leaving the airport. This information was not communicated to me beforehand, and there was no indication in your policies that a Turkish visa was required for transit or a connected flight. I have also confirmed with Turkish authorities that there is no policy requiring a transit visa for passengers in my situation. Additionally, I reached out to MyTrip, through whom I booked the ticket, and they confirmed they are unable to assist with a refund, advising me to contact you for compensation. The Citizens Advice Bureau has also indicated that the responsibility for this issue lies with your staff.It was your staff fault. The financial and emotional impact of this situation has been significant. Missing my father’s funeral due to this issue has caused me immense distress and trauma. I request that you review this matter urgently and provide appropriate compensation for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Missed flight and was forced to buy a new ticket

Dear Pegasus, I was scheduled to travel on 11th January from Sabiha Gökçen International Airport to Stansted Airport(Pegasus Airlines 1161, PNR No: 5P11DK), but I encountered several issues that made the experience extremely frustrating and unpleasant. Below, I’ve outlined the problems I faced: 1. Online Check-In Failure I was unable to check in online as the Pegasus website and mobile application did not allow me to log in. 2. Missing Flight Information When I arrived at SAW Airport at 7:55 AM, I couldn’t find my flight number on the monitoring screen. Concerned, I approached an employee who initially thought the flight might be canceled. After checking, they informed me that the flight was operating but wasn’t displayed on the screen. This caused unnecessary confusion and wasted 10–15 minutes. 3. Boarding Pass Issues The employee directed me to a self-service machine to obtain my boarding pass. After waiting 20 minutes in line, the machine failed to issue my boarding pass due to a system issue with recognizing the UK’s updated e-visa system. The machine advised me to proceed to the counter for manual assistance. 4. Long Queue at the Counter I joined the crowded queue at the counter, which moved extremely slowly. Despite repeatedly requesting assistance from seven different staff members, none offered help or prioritized my case. I stood in the queue for 75 minutes. By the time I reached the counter at 9:25 AM, I was told that boarding had closed and no further assistance could be provided. 5. Forced to Purchase a New Ticket When I went to the sales counter, I was told I needed to purchase a new ticket to travel to London Stansted. I had no choice but to buy a new ticket for £250 and took a flight at 13:35. This experience was both mentally and physically exhausting. It is unacceptable for a process as critical as issuing a boarding pass to take over 95 minutes, especially with no proper support or prioritization for passengers in urgent situations. This raises concerns about how senior citizens or passengers with medical conditions could endure such stress.Given the circumstances, I kindly request a full refund of the £250 I paid for the second ticket. The issues I faced were entirely due to your airline’s inefficiencies, including technical failures, lack of proper support, and poor queue management. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

Technical problems

Jan 9, 2025
Dear Sir/Madam, On December 23, 2024, at 12:50 PM, flight number PC1532 was scheduled to depart from London Stansted to Izmir, reservation number M4H6RB. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed by 11 hours, which resulted in additional costs and significant stress for us. Both I, Katarzyna Anna Klimowicz, and my colleague, Elżbieta Ewa Dzionsko, were scheduled to arrive at a clinic on the night of December 23 for pre-arranged medical procedures. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we did not arrive on time, and the appointments had to be rescheduled for the following day. The clinic informed us that we were required to bear additional costs, as they incurred double expenses for booking the operating room in a private hospital, which we had to pay. In light of the above, I am requesting compensation for the stress and expenses incurred as a result of the significant delay of the flight. Yours sincerely, Katarzyna Anna Klimowicz

In short, this is what happened to us: We flew from Georgia to Berlin on December 27th. We bought three tickets from one of the travel companies, Tbilisi-Berlin-Gogchen. Also, from there, Berlin-Gogchen-Tbilisi. The company is Pegasus. Upon departure, due to a technical problem, we took off at 16:07 instead of 15:25. Accordingly, our arrival in Gogchen was delayed and we were overtaken by the flight arriving in Tbilisi from Gogchen. At this time, no Pegasus employee helped us at the airport, they told us that we should go to Istanbul and contact the Georgian Embassy. We cannot arrive in Istanbul at this time, because at that time we had a paid business meeting, which we missed due to this delayed flight. The Pegasus employees treated us very indifferently, did not answer us normally. We called Georgia and were told that in 4 hours the same company, Pegasus, has a flight with seats. After a long wait, we took off at 20:15 instead of the flight at 23:55, which was delayed again and took off at 00:07. How can I ask Pegasus for compensation in any way?

I arrived at the airport approximately 2-2:30 hours before my 10:40 London-Istanbul flight. When I went to the check-in line, they checked my luggage and said it was too much. I emptied my luggage and went back to the check-in desk. Then they told me that there was a system problem and that I had to wait and that check-in could not be done right now. They said that they could not let me on the plane 1 hour before the flight even though I went hours before. I am complaining about Pegasus. I want all my expenses to be refunded, otherwise I will file a lawsuit for compensation through the court. I had a doctor's appointment for rhinoplasty on January 7th and it will be cancelled. I want to claim all my rights.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction regarding the treatment and unwarranted baggage charges my husband and I experienced during our recent flight from Geneva to Doha, with a connecting flight in Turkey on January3, Flight PC 604. Turkey to doha. Our journey began in Geneva, where we adhered to the airline's baggage allowance policy: Checked-In Luggage Compliance in Geneva: We had a checked baggage allowance of 20kg each. However, our individual luggage only weighed 15kg each, leaving us with extra capacity. To balance the weight and stay within the airline’s policies, we placed the remaining weight (approximately 7kg per person) in our personal backpacks, which were small enough to fit under the seat as personal items. At the check-in counter in Geneva, the staff weighed and approved our checked luggage. They acknowledged the backpacks as personal items and permitted us to bring them onboard without any additional charges or concerns. Incident in Turkey: While boarding the connecting flight in Turkey, my husband was stopped by the staff and told his 7kg backpack exceeded the personal baggage allowance of 3kg. They demanded an additional fee for "overweight baggage." I had already passed through my boarding lane without any issues when I noticed the delay with my husband. When I approached the staff to inquire, they then insisted on checking my backpack as well, despite it already being cleared without issue. Unjustified Charges and Unprofessional Conduct. Without weighing my backpack, the staff demanded we pay €200 for the two backpacks. They disregarded our explanation about the prior approval in Geneva and failed to provide a reasonable justification for the charge. When I attempted to explain, the staff, particularly the manager, was unprofessional and dismissive. She refused to listen, ignored my concerns, and rudely stated she would cancel our flight if we did not pay immediately. To further escalate the situation, the manager threatened to call the police, which caused us undue stress and humiliation. This experience was deeply upsetting and unfair. The inconsistent application of your baggage policies between Geneva and Turkey caused unnecessary financial and emotional strain. The unprofessional behavior of the staff only added to the distress. Accountability: Steps to ensure staff treat passengers with respect and apply policies consistently in the future.
