Pegasus Airlines - Used them???

Afternoon all,

Looking to go on holiday first week of June to Turkey.... Yes its that week where everything doubles in price (kids half term).....
Anyway, through doing all my options and so on, the best way for me and the boss (wife) to do a 10 night holiday is to fly to Bodrum, via Istanbul using 'Pegasus Airlines'.....

My guess is they are like Easyjet ??? unless i'm being a div, it looks like 20kg baggage is included in the price of booking, so working on the basis its gonna cost £252 each return from stansted to Bodrum, i think thats gooooooood!!!

Anyone got anything good or bad to say about them?

    As you say, they are very like Easyjet or another low cost airline.

    Fairly basic, no frills, pay for everything on board. Cheap fares so just view them as a means to flying to Turkey. BA they're not. But nothing wrong with them.

    thats good to know :)
    my only concern is the baggage, when i look to book on there own website (instead of using Expedia for instance), it does show 20kg included, at least i think it does!!!!
    So if anyone has travelled with them, let me know if your bags were included! :)

    Well it clearly shows on their website that 20Kg is included in the booking, so one can only assume that it is!

    Their frequently asked questions states that 20Kg is included for international flights, and 15kg included for domestic. So the only thing to watch is whether they honour the 20kg all the through to Bodrum, or whether they'll enforce the 15kg on the Istanbul - Bodrum sector.

    EDIT: It seems that when you search for the flights, it shows 20Kg allowance for each sector, so it seems they do honour 20Kg for the whole journey.
