Change, due to UK Gov imposition.

I thought I had seen somewhere that you now stayed on plane inbound to Ercan but had to change outbound in Turkey? Is this not the case?

It was written in the paper but to my knowledge it does not seem to be happening.

You still have to change both ways unfortunately.

Thank you.

Are Pegasus any good?

We are thinking of using them for our Christmas flights due to the price of other airlines.

Having just used Pegasus for a short holiday from TRNC to Antalya, I would not set foot on any of their aircraft ever again.... the only sad thing is that from TRNC you are somewhat restricted on the choice..... Pegasus for us are the means to and end....as airlines go, awful....even if you choose to pay for food please don't.... it is inedible.... If your are seriously looking at the cost, paying a bit more to fly with Turkish Airlines, and in our experience it is not that much more...but is far better than being treated like cattle.... just my opinion of course as someone who travels quite a lot.... at the end of the day, as they say, you pays your money you take your choice.

There is a new service starting 'shortly' with Anadolu Jet - the budget arm of Turkish Airlines - and I found them to be quite satisfactory when they were operating previously.

Gave up on Pegasus a few years ago. They were a means to an end and slightly cheaper than the competitors at that time. However whilst it’s not a long haul flight it felt like it, the whole experience was poor. The cabin crew in the main we found have minimal customer facing skills. We booked meals that we never received and strong words were exchanged but in the end they just shrugged and walked away. If cost is the number 1 priority then use them......they aren’t as cheap as they were tho. We would prefer the overall experience to be better so now use others.
