Is it more practical to fly into Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), and what should travelers expect on Pegasus flights?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago

TL;DR

Some travelers find Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) the more practical airport, but on Pegasus flights you should expect tight seating and possible extra time after landing for taxiing, disembarkation, and reaching the -2 level.

What the community said

The most recent feedback suggests allowing extra buffer time when arriving at Sabiha: the aircraft may taxi for a while after landing, and disembarkation plus the walk down to the -2 level can add more time.

One practical takeaway is that if you are choosing between Istanbul airports, Sabiha may be the more logical option for some routes, though comfort depends heavily on the airline.

Based on traveler experience, Pegasus cabins can feel very cramped. It may be acceptable for a short budget flight, but for an overnight trip or if comfort matters, expect tight seating and a potentially noisy cabin.
