How to check in online with Pegasus Airlines

  1. Have your booking reference and ID ready

    You'll need a 6-character booking reference (PNR) and a valid travel document (passport or EU/EEA national ID).

  2. Open the official check-in page

    Use the button at the top of this page or visit flypgs.com directly. Avoid third-party "check-in" sites.

  3. Enter passenger details

    Add passport / ID number, expiry date, and country of issue if travelling internationally. This step is mandatory and blocks check-in if skipped.

  4. Choose seats and add extras

    Random seats are free in the 24-hour window; named seats and priority boarding cost extra. Skip if you don't need them.

  5. Save the boarding pass

    Add to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. The Pegasus Airlines app stores it offline once downloaded.

Common Pegasus Airlines check-in problems

Light fare excludes everything beyond personal item

Problem: Pegasus's Light fare doesn't include carry-on cabin bag or checked bag.

Solution: Pre-pay during booking (~€12 cabin + €18 checked) or upgrade to Comfort/Flex which includes both.

SAW vs IST confusion

Problem: Pegasus uses Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), not Istanbul Airport (IST). They're 70 km apart.

Solution: Verify SAW vs IST on your booking. SAW is on the Asian side of Istanbul, IST on the European side.
