For our flight scheduled to depart from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport on July 6, 2024, at 10:10 a.m., we set out by car from Izmir at midnight. Just as we had almost reached our destination at 4:48 a.m., we received a message that the flight had been canceled for operational reasons. I immediately called Pegasus and changed our tickets to another flight on the same day at 2:35 p.m., with all our rights supposedly preserved. However, when I tried to check in using the mobile app, I noticed that our cabin baggage allowances were canceled.

I contacted customer service again and was told that cabin baggage allowances for this flight were full and that we could check our cabin bags. I explained that I have a 3.5-year-old child and would need access to our belongings during and after the flight, and I insisted on keeping my cabin baggage allowance, but they said nothing could be done.

The afternoon flight at 2:35 p.m. was also delayed by about 1.5 hours. No company employee assisted us in any way, and we weren't even offered water. Since the car rental company in Colmar, France, closed at 6 p.m. on Saturday and remained closed all day Sunday, we lost all the money we had prepaid and were left stranded. We had to spend more money on trains and buses on Sunday to get around. When I filed a complaint and compensation claim with customer service, the email response only expressed regret.

My 3.5-year-old child, my 63-year-old mother, and I were stranded at the airport for hours. By the time we arrived in Colmar, the markets were closed, so we couldn't even shop for necessities. We missed the train we were supposed to catch in Basel. The experience was financially and emotionally exhausting. It was a terrible journey, leaving us tired, sleepless, and waiting for hours.
