Pegasus airlines hand luggage
I was thinking of trying Pegasus for the first time - was wondering about their hand luggage allowance.
Website states 8kg - though unclear as to whether a laptop would be included in this or not.
Has anyone had any experience here ? Are carryons weighed at the gate ?
Thanks

Perhaps your personal experience is different in this regard?
If you are challenged regarding the weight of your carry-on, you will be required to place your laptop in your carry-on prior to having it weighed.
Note also that if your flight is from Turkey to the UK, your laptop will have to be checked.

Personal experience is irrelevant unless it's with Pegasus.
Pegasus, like many others, allow a personal item. Including a laptop. Unlike others, it is not clear from their website whether or not the personal item is included in the 8kg or not.
This is why I want to know if there is official policy somewhere, or better yet, hear from others who have actually flown and have seen how they act on this.

In my personal experience, passengers do not hold a laptop in their hand, or remove a laptop from their carry-on, if they are asked to have their carry-on weighed (either at check-in, or at the gate).
