Pegasus Airlines flights from Saudi Arabia
Pegasus Airlines operates direct flights from four Saudi Arabian cities to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Passengers can depart from Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah and Riyadh. Istanbul is both a destination and the airline’s principal connecting point, so the same booking may continue to cities across Turkey, Europe and other parts of the Pegasus network.
The table below lists the direct routes and approximate time in the air. Schedules are not identical throughout the year, and some services may operate only on selected days.

Connecting Pegasus flights from Saudi Arabia
Sabiha Gökçen is the main hub of Pegasus Airlines. A passenger arriving there from Saudi Arabia can continue on a domestic flight to Ankara, Antalya, Izmir, Trabzon, Bodrum, Dalaman and many regional Turkish cities. Connections are also available to international destinations in Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Central Asia and North Africa.
When both sectors are issued together under one booking, the itinerary is easier to manage if the first flight is delayed. Before paying, it is still worth checking the connection time and whether checked baggage will be tagged through to the final destination.
Domestic flights within Turkey
Pegasus serves more than 35 Turkish airports. The network includes major cities, Black Sea destinations, Mediterranean resorts and airports in eastern and southeastern Turkey.

Ticket prices and special offers
Pegasus follows a low-cost model, so the first price shown usually covers the flight and only the services included in the selected fare package. The total may change after baggage, a seat, meals or flexible ticket conditions are added. For travel during school holidays, Eid periods and the busiest summer weeks, booking earlier generally gives a wider choice of departure times and fares.
The airline also runs limited promotions and offers the BolBol loyalty programme. Members earn BolPoints on eligible flights and can use accumulated points for tickets or additional travel services, subject to the current programme rules.
What is included in a Pegasus ticket from Saudi Arabia
The exact allowance depends on the package selected during booking. The lowest fare commonly includes the journey and a small personal item that fits under the seat in front. Cabin baggage for the overhead locker, checked baggage, seat selection and food may cost extra.
Before payment, compare the complete package rather than the headline price alone. A fare with baggage included can be cheaper than buying the lowest option and adding a suitcase later. Check the permitted bag dimensions, change and cancellation conditions, and whether a seat is included.
How to book a Pegasus flight from Saudi Arabia
Open the Pegasus flight search, select Dammam, Jeddah, Madinah or Riyadh as the departure point and enter the destination and dates. The results will show the available direct and connecting itineraries. After selecting a flight, enter passenger names exactly as they appear in the travel documents, add a telephone number and email address, then choose the available payment method.
The booking confirmation and ticket are sent to the email address entered with the order. If the journey involves a connection, check that all sectors appear under the same reservation before completing payment.
Departure airports in Saudi Arabia
Dammam – King Fahd International Airport
King Fahd International Airport (DMM) serves Dammam, Dhahran, Al Khobar and the wider Eastern Province. The terminal is some distance from central Dammam, so passengers normally arrive by taxi, private transfer, rental car or their own vehicle. Cafes, shops, prayer rooms, banking services, car rental desks and parking are available. For an international departure, allow enough time for check-in, baggage acceptance, security and passport control.
Jeddah – King Abdulaziz International Airport
King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) is the main gateway to Jeddah and one of the principal arrival airports for travellers heading to Makkah. Terminal 1 offers restaurants, shops, lounges, prayer facilities, currency services and car rental. The Haramain high-speed railway links the airport with Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah. Taxis, private transfers and buses are also available. Passengers should check the Pegasus terminal and counter on the airport displays on the day of travel.
Madinah – Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport
Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) lies outside central Madinah and handles a particularly busy flow during religious travel periods. Travellers can reach the terminal by taxi, private transfer or car. Inside are food outlets, shops, prayer areas, ATMs and services for passengers with reduced mobility. Extra time is advisable during Hajj, Umrah and public holiday peaks.
Riyadh – King Khalid International Airport
King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is situated north of Riyadh and consists of several passenger terminals. The airport has restaurants, duty-free shopping, lounges, banks, prayer rooms, hotels and car rental services. It can be reached by road, taxi and public transport. Because terminal assignments can change, confirm the terminal and check-in zone before leaving for the airport.
Arrival in Istanbul
Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is on the Asian side of Istanbul in the Pendik district. It is the main operating base and connecting hub of Pegasus Airlines. The terminal contains cafes, restaurants, shops, currency exchange, baggage services and car rental desks.
The M4 metro line connects the airport with the Asian side of the city. Municipal buses, airport coaches and taxis are also available. Travelling to the European side takes longer, particularly at peak hours, so the onward transport time should be considered when booking a hotel or a separate connection.
Check-in and baggage
Before travelling, review the Pegasus baggage rules and the check-in procedure. International passengers should arrive with sufficient time for document checks, baggage drop, security and passport control.
