Pegasus Airlines is a Turkish low-cost carrier, and since 14 February 2026 its cheapest fare is one of the strictest in Europe: the Light bundle includes only a small under-seat bag — no cabin bag and no checked bag. Everything else (an 8 kg cabin bag, a checked bag) is bundled into the higher Saver, Saver Plus and Comfort Flex fares or bought as an add-on.
This guide covers the current 2026 allowances and fees, with the deal-hunter’s view of what you actually get on the lowest fare. Baggage rules differ between domestic Turkish flights and international/North Cyprus routes, and fees vary by route, weight and how far ahead you buy — always confirm the exact figures at the time of booking.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
The deal-hunter’s reality on Pegasus: that ultra-cheap fare you found is almost certainly the Light bundle — and since 14 February 2026 Light gives you nothing but a 3 kg under-seat bag (40 × 30 × 15 cm). No overhead cabin bag, no checked bag.
This is a real trap on Pegasus’s headline prices. Older guides still claim the cheapest fare includes an 8 kg cabin bag — that is no longer true for Light. The 8 kg / 55 × 40 × 23 cm cabin allowance and a checked bag only appear from the Saver fare upward.
So when you compare a cheap Pegasus fare against a rival, do the honest math: if you need a wheelie cabin bag or a checked bag, price in the Saver bundle (or pre-bought baggage) rather than the Light headline. Buying baggage online when you book is far cheaper than at the airport, where an excess or oversize piece on international/North Cyprus routes can cost around €50 a piece at boarding. For a weekend trip that genuinely fits a 3 kg under-seat bag, Light can be unbeatable value — just be sure that is actually what you are carrying.
Oversize, sports & special items
Domestic vs international: On domestic Turkish flights the Saver bundle includes 15 kg checked, while Saver Plus and Comfort Flex give 20 kg. On international and North Cyprus routes, all three paid bundles give 20 kg checked, and Light gives 0 kg.
Excess and extra baggage: Pre-purchasing extra weight online is always cheaper than paying at the airport, and prices rise closer to departure. On international/North Cyprus flights, expect roughly €50 per extra or oversize piece if you turn up over your allowance. Domestic excess is charged per kilo (a few Turkish lira per kg when pre-booked).
Sports gear and instruments: Bicycles, skis, golf and diving gear, and large musical instruments are carried as special/oversize baggage for an additional fee and must be in a proper case or bag. Third-party guides quote rough figures (around €25 for ski equipment, €37 for an oversized instrument, €41 for a bicycle), but these are not official — confirm the exact charge for your route during booking.
Tip: A small musical instrument can travel in the cabin if it fits your cabin/personal-item allowance; anything larger needs a paid extra seat or goes in the hold.

How much does extra baggage cost on Pegasus?
Buying baggage online when you book is far cheaper than at the airport. Pre-booking an extra 20 kg on international routes typically runs roughly €25–€50 depending on the route and timing. If you arrive over your allowance, expect around €50 per extra or oversize piece at boarding on international/North Cyprus flights. Always check the exact price at booking, as fees vary by route.

Can I bring sports equipment or a musical instrument on Pegasus?
Yes, as special/oversize baggage for an additional fee. Bicycles, skis, golf and diving equipment and large instruments must be in a proper case or bag and declared at booking. A small instrument can travel in the cabin if it fits within your cabin or personal-item allowance; larger items need a paid extra seat or go in the hold.
What changed for Pegasus baggage in 2026?
A new baggage policy took effect on 14 February 2026 for international and North Cyprus flights. It confirms that the Light bundle includes only the under-seat bag — no cabin bag and no checked bag — making it one of the strictest cheapest fares in Europe. Tickets booked before that date keep their original terms.
What is the difference between the personal item and the cabin bag on Pegasus?
The personal item is the small under-seat bag (40 × 30 × 15 cm, up to 3 kg) included on all fares, including Light. The cabin bag is the larger overhead piece (55 × 40 × 23 cm, up to 8 kg) included only from the Saver fare upward. On Light you get the personal item only.
