If your bag is bigger than what's allowed on your Pegasus Airlines ticket, start by moving things to your carry-on. Pegasus only lets you bring one carry-on bag, and there are weight and size limits on it. Moving lighter things, like clothes or personal items, to your carry-on could help your checked luggage be lighter.
Also, if you're a member of the Pegasus BolBol Loyalty Program, check to see if the level of membership you have includes extra luggage. Higher levels often come with extra benefits, like being able to bring more bags without having to pay extra.
Last but not least, if you're traveling with someone else, use their luggage limit. You can move some of your things to their bag as long as it doesn't go over the limit if their luggage is under the limit. This is a smart way to escape having to pay extra for extra luggage.
This is what we can offer, if you know more in terms of experience, please share in the comments.
