Travel Glossary

Baggage includes all items passengers either hand over at the counter to go in the plane's cargo hold or carry with them on board. When you buy a ticket, the purchased flight package usually comes with specific baggage allowances at different rates.

This allowance is split across Cabin Baggage and Check-in Baggage.

If passengers have baggage allowance, items no more than 50x40x20 cm in size and 8 kg in weight can be taken on board as cabin baggage, while items checked in at counters and placed in the cargo hold are referred to as check-in baggage.

Airlines provide an extra service for checked baggage, allowing passengers specific weight limits for an additional fee. If baggage exceeds size limits or more items are brought than the count allowed by the allowance, an extra charge will apply for each additional piece during boarding. See Pegasus' General Rules for Cabin and Check-in Baggage allowances.

Cabin and check-in baggage allowances depend on the type of ticket and are subject to specific conditions. For example, items bought at duty-free that are considered hazardous might not be permitted in the aircraft's cargo hold. For detailed information on transporting pets in the cargo hold and other general baggage rules, see the Pegasus General Rules.
