Pegasus Airlines brings us today a deal from Bergamo to Middle East starting at just €185. This deal includes only a personal item, but in the case of Beirut, you can upgrade to an extra carry-on item plus 20 kg of checked luggage for an additional €80. Departures are available from November 2024 to January 2025.
These are some of the destinations where you can take advantage of this deal:
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can proceed to Pegasus or check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €15 cheaper:
Pegasus is a low-cost carrier, meaning that you won’t get anything to eat on these flights, so make sure to pack a lunch/dinner. Also, these flights are not non-stop as they have a layover in Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcan SAW airport.
Search & Book
The fare rules for these tickets don’t give any restrictions. Departures are available from November to January 2025.
You can find all available dates on our calendar above, as well as on Google Flights. You can then book on Pegasus’ website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
You cannot earn any miles or points with these tickets, except for Pegasus’ own BolBol points.
