For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, start with the complete ticket rather than one flight number. The decisive record for booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday combines direction, actual operator, booking structure, final timing, cause and the remedy already offered.
| First check for booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday | What to record |
|---|---|
| Territorial scope | departure airport and each ticketed destination |
| Responsible airline | the operated-by line, not only the PC marketing code |
| Triggering event | delay, cancellation, denied boarding or contractual change |
| Measured outcome | final arrival, notice date, unused travel or proven loss |
| Carrier explanation | exact wording, time, location and affected aircraft |
Which rules can apply to booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday
For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi A.S. is a Turkish carrier, not an EU or UK carrier. That carrier status makes direction central to booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, ahead of website language, nationality or purchase currency.
| Flight pattern | Starting point for the legal test |
|---|---|
| EU or EEA airport to Turkiye, operated by Pegasus | EU261 can apply because the flight departs the protected territory |
| Turkiye to an EU or EEA airport, operated by Pegasus | EU261 normally does not apply merely because this is the return; examine SHY-YOLCU |
| UK airport to Turkiye, operated by Pegasus | UK261 can apply to the UK departure |
| Turkiye to the UK, operated by Pegasus | UK261 normally does not apply because Pegasus is not a UK carrier; examine Turkish rules |
| Domestic Turkiye or an international Pegasus flight to or from a Turkish airport | SHY-YOLCU can be relevant, subject to its event and procedure rules |
For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, EU261 uses EUR 250, EUR 400 and EUR 600 bands after coverage, timing and cause are established. Turkish rules for booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday use EUR 100 domestically and EUR 250, EUR 400 or EUR 600 internationally, converted at the Central Bank selling rate on payment day.

Where both systems appear relevant to booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, record any payment already made and do not promise duplicate fixed awards for the same disruption.
Separate the airline, ticket issuer and organiser roles
The PNR shown by an intermediary may not be the Pegasus reservation code. Obtain the airline PNR, e-ticket number, coupon status and operated-by line before filing.
Pegasus can handle statutory operational claims even when an agent sold the ticket, while a seller may control the original payment method and voluntary changes.
A package organiser can owe additional assistance or price-reduction remedies. Avoid asking two parties to reimburse the identical ticket or hotel loss twice.
Worked example
An OTA says Pegasus has the refund while Pegasus says it returned funds to the agent. The passenger requests payment trace details from both and keeps compensation as a separate operator claim.
For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, substitute the passenger's real airports, operators, timings and offers.
Contractual money and statutory compensation are different
For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, first identify base fare, taxes, service fees, points and paid extras. A contractual refund for booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday follows the booking terms, while a fixed award requires an airline-side event within an applicable regime.
For booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, do not turn voluntary cancellation or non-attendance into an EU261 claim. Conversely, if Pegasus cancelled or substantially changed the service before booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday, compare statutory refund and rerouting before accepting a voluntary fare-rule transaction.
Any care costs, replacement travel and ancillary refund connected with booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday should be itemised. Clear allocation for booked through an OTA, agent or package holiday prevents a small service credit from being mistaken for settlement of every request arising from the journey.
