Izmir (ADB) - Kayseri (ASR)
B737-800
TC-IZG
Economy Class

Our aircraft was going to be TC-IZG, which was delivered just a year ago to Pegasus Airlines, and based in Izmir to be operated by IzAir but in Pegasus colours and code. Initially I was expecting a brand new BSI cabin in this aircraft.

Entering the aircraft.




However, upon stepping into the aircraft, it was evident that this aircraft was a "hand-me-down" Ex-Ryanair aircraft with its "signature" unreclinable seats and, yellow seatbacks and pasted seatback safety instructions stickers. Kinda disappointed of not getting a "normal" Pegasus aircraft but no worries, it was gonna be only a short flight.






Seat pitch was the usual LCC standards and safety instructios were staring in your face. No inflight magazines, trash bags or BOB menu cards since there were no seat pockets at all!




At the gate. Boarding was completed slightly after STD but as our flight time was well padded, the slight delay in departure still allowed us to arrive early. Flight time was a short 1hr15m. Luckily, we again had an empty seat between us even though the aircraft was rather full.




Pushback with safety demo shown manually. On normal Pegasus aircraft, drop-down video screens would be showing "children-presented" Pegasus safety video, but nope on our flight.

Taxiing to runway.




A look at Izmir Airport. Quite a number of international flights at this time parked at the International Terminal, alike during my arrival when it was almost totally empty.




Taxied to Rwy34R.






And takeoff, bound for Kayseri.
