Stinky Feet at 36000 Feet: Pegasus 737 - Riyadh to Istanbul

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2020
- Pegasus is a Turkish LCC that touts itself as a friendly and affordable Holiday Airline connecting Europe and the Middle East through Turkey. On my trip from Riyadh to Istanbul, that friendliness is put to the test as an unruly passenger decides to use my armrest as her footstool.

Hey, Turkish person here. For me, Pegasus is a "must avoid" airline for flights lasting over 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Economy class is pure torture (I'm 190 cm tall), and for domestic flights they aren't even a cheaper option most of the time. Even if they are, if you can find a Turkish Airlines flight for a bit more money, throw your wallet at it. I once flew from Copenhagen to Istanbul with Pegasus. Won't be making that mistake again.
Also, as some other people have mentioned in the comments, they are even stingier with their own employees, most of them are underpaid and/or overworked. So pretty much the only case to fly Pegasus is when there is no other option...or I don't know, if the kidnappers who put you in a luggage prefer Pegasus...which is quite unlikely since they offer almost no luggage capacity for free.
Ironically, it looks like it says "Fly, Pigs" on their planes. Kind of sums everything well enough.
I name it Pegasus ECO HELL , I‘am also 190cm tall and i never will fly with PGS
Thanks for the info, fellow ME fan.
I disagree with everything, as everything you mentioned is false. Pegasus is the best airline ever in existence.
(im not at gunpoint)
Everything negative you'll say is false.
So......the Spirit Airlines of Turkey.
Funny!👍😁
Sad but funny!
this man is a better sam chui with a sense of humor
I disagree, he's not a better Sam Chui, he's himself. Sam Chui not only has no sense of humour but he's creepy AF!
Definitely better than Sam Chui, but it doesn´t mean Sam is bad ! both are good !
It is borderline racist to compare him to Sam Chui. Just stop. Tiezheng is an individual and doesn't need to be compared to anyone because he brings his own creativity and humor to his videos.
No comparison whatsoever
I had to unsub to Sam Chui's channel because he is too cringey.
This boy saying Inshallah, Killing me. I used to live in Riyad as well, In Malaz.
As cabin crew, leaving the sidewall lights on during night flights is cruel and unusual punishment towards passengers. TURN THEM OFF after boarding! Now add the "stinky feet"..., CHECK PLEASE! If you had posed the same concern to me during a flight, I would have gladly shook the culprit until she awoke. Afterwards, politely (but firmly) requesting she move/cover her bare feet since it was causing a disturbance. If she refused to awaken, I would then be forced to consider it a medical emergency. "Zap", out comes the AED, as that usually gets their attention! :) Completely enjoy you videos. Your sense of humor is priceless! Cheers!
Yeah, as crew, at the minimum I would have comp'd a blanked (assuming this low cost carrier charges) to cover her feet. And I would have gotten my air freshener from my crew bag and sprayed the heck out of her feet... if she wakes up, she got the message.
"Out comes the AED" 🤣🤣🤣
This vid came as a surprise. However, nothing you produce disappoints. Extremely well made, music is fire. Oh boy this made my evening
definitely agreed
Thanks Peter! Though... slightly disturbed that you work me into your evening plans.
@@VicariousVoyager "Bromance, nothing gay about it." That's it, or he is a serial killer
@@VicariousVoyager lmfao
God level editing, funny/sarcastic comments. Very amusing.
Pronunciation of Arabic words are on point and satisfying
This is hands down the best reviewer I have ever seen. He is calm and his sense of humour is excellent.
When he was talking about the metro lines I said ‘inshallah’ 5 seconds before he did I -
You should have accidentally poured hot coffee on the feet
Knowing our traveler is having a not so pleasant aromatic experience, hot coffee on stinky feet may produce the expanding smell of wet goat. That might get the cabin stewards attention but, by then, like lava, you can't put it back into the mountain, so to speak.
@@johnfrank6112 How about a match or a lighter?
@@walterwlim th-cam.com/video/ajdK6hJXWLU/w-d-xo.html you might end up with this aromatic nightmare.
@@johnfrank6112 lmfao, gross dude.
Lucky your inflight meal came before your inflight “de-entertainment”
That's a bit iffy. In flight meal goes down the hatch but stinky feet causes regurgitation. A fancy word for throwing up that meal. The smell of dead and decaying flesh can easily cause that. So, What are you guys having for dinner?
Never flew Pegasus and never will after viewing this video. The foot on the armrest saga could have quickly ended with some hot coffee, a pointy pen, or keys ... people tend to wake up real quick when those objects make contact with their feet. Thanks for the production!
Well generally those things dont happen a lot but yeah! It might Just happen some times.
I flew Pegasus from sabina gokcen to Kars once. It was only an hour, but still disgusting. There were no drinks served, very rough takeoff and landing, and the legroom was even less than spirit!
I can’t Imagine flying them for five hours. Your a true warrior 😂
Red cheeks?
I also flied them for 4 hours and then 1 and a half hours
"The runway has a built-in turbulence simulator" 🤣🤣
True story: Returning from a business trip. The last leg was the last flight out of Las Vegas. Halfway through the flight, I felt something touching my calves (I was wearing shorts). Looked down and saw some guy’s bare feet stretched out so far under my seat his toes were touching my calves. I “accidentally” stepped on is toes a few times and he finally retracted his feet. Spent the rest of the flight grossed out. Totally feel you on the foot incident.
A pleasant surprise and a welcomed one at that. Thanks for enriching my weekend!
Editing was superb, and I loved the desert view of your walk.
Hello, I discovered your page a few days ago and ever since I've just been watching your videos .
the way the content is displayed is amazing and quite fun , keep up the great work😊
great video! love your sense of humour! looking forward to the next one
This review is pure GOLD.
Fantastic content as always and I think getting your perfective on what do in Riyadh would be great! Much love from Australia.
Sooo nostalgic! Thank you for this. I will also be coming back to Riyadh (after 5 years) at the end of this year on a tourist visa for the first time. Can't wait to experience the boring ol' King Khalid International Airport all over again.
Great video! I watch/subscribe to several trip report channels and yours might just be my favorite! I love the touches of humor (or were they just pats).
Love your videos, keep up the good work
Can I just start by saying that your videos are PERFECTLY AWESOME. The editing, your dry humor and the way you narrate the flight is amazing. You got a new subscriber that really 'likes' your every video. Anyways, back to Pegasus. I fly with them usually from AMS-SAW. Mainly because of the huge price differences with other airlines, but hey that shouldn't be a surprise because they are a lowcost airline.
FA's: The last flight I had with them was in february and honestly the crew during that flight was the most eloquent crew I have ever seen, chatting with passengers and smiling during the flight. When I left the plane I made a remark about that and thanked them, they were very happy to hear that. But last year on the same route some of the crew members had a very disintrested look on their face as if they were forced to work. So it really depends on the crew but overall I had positive experiences with the crew and some exceptions.
-Catering: I think the catering by Turkish Do&Co is the best a lowcost airline can get. I order my food online (it's cheaper that way, in-plane orders are a couple of euros more expensive) and the menu has a variety of choices that tastes good.
So, you shouldn't fly with Pegasus for the experience like with Turkish airlines. It's a lowcost airline afterall. But in my opinion one of the better lowcost airlines because of the catering.
"it really depends on the crew". Yup, for any airline, for any flight. One's chances for a human experience are better on some than others.
Always appreciate the content and the snark - even the live streams
Ive flown alot with Pegasus for work as a travel photographer a few years back and yes, I can relate to your frustration, sometimes they dont seem to bother helping. I bought lunch and didnt get my change back....
Ty for sharing, lived in Saudi for a while when i was a child and thoroughly loved the country.
awesome flight report Vicarious Voyager...
Vicarious, I love your travel docu feature... It's very educational. You're an eloquent English speaker. Keep it up! 👍
this was actually so cool to see that airport is beautiful
The production quality of your videos is amazing!
Yeah, certainly deserves my sub☺️
Love your channel man!
Good to know!
Thanks dude, you rock.
Hello, first of all I enjoyed your content a lot ! As a pilot&traveller from Turkey. I'd like to say that Pegasus is really good company in terms of crew members. However, there are some people in the cabin of pegasus doing this job only for money, not interested in aviation or anything. Causes their behaviour to passengers like in this video. I'm not saying its normal if they don't have interest in their job they can act like that. I m just saying that you should give one more chance to this company. I hope that very good crew will be welcoming you, hopefully. Be safe man see you next video !
Ah, so many stories out there! Here's mine: Thai Inter, Hong Kong to Bangkok in economy (my government was paying). On the starboard side and two rows ahead a passenger was freaking out. He stood on the seat and was yelling (singing?) in a very animated fashion. He was ignored by the cabin staff. When called, one came to me. I pointed and asked if something could be done. The staff person lowered her voice and said: 'He is quite mad, you see'. Yes, I could see and that was that. Everyone survived...but the memory lingers.
great
I used one of the inflight magazine or menu to form a barrier between the armrest and the wall of the fuselage and most importantly make sure it touches the foot.
Flew Pegasus once. The overall experience didn’t include bare feet on my armrest, but wasn’t great either. In terms of the turbulence simulator, and this was the most memorable of my flight with them, it’s not built into the runway, but their aircrafts, as I made a similar experience on another airport.
Your "inshaAllah" is superb! Love from Indonesia 🥰
Insha allah is fake - Allah does not exist. I drew Mohammed on my roof
@@dashcan8479 no one gives a flying eff lol
@@dashcan8479 lol get rekt
Humour and prayer gets us through the night.
love you're videos
I feel you (about the foot thing). It happend to me during my long haul flight from TPE-LAX. 🙁
Love your videos ...
Great video! Had the same feet smell experience in a flight to Morocco. Flight attendants tried once and then just laughed and told me it always happens here...
I like this guy.
Why is it that all my favourite TH-camrs are Canadian? Anyway..., a great video! Can’t wait to see more content from your channel!
Your videos are so different (in a good way) that I much rather watch your videos of airplane voyages than anyone’s else’s.
Thank you!
I love your sense of humour as it's pretty much akin to mine (eg mostly sarcasm)
Love your humor and u deserve more subscribers! It's not much but here take my subscription xD
you are amazing man
Nice video mate, especially the family background, don't know about blowing up things in a mid east country though. Cheers Tim from Sydney
Riyadh airport hasnt changed, i remember walking through that when i was 12/13 (94/95) and i was in awe compared to the drab british airports
Enjoying your channel 👍❤️
just casually including a stuffed ovary and testis in the background
I enjoyed watching this video and had no idea you were from Saudi Arabia. The lady who had her foot on your arm rest is the funniest thing I heard all week 😂😂
These videos simultaneously satiate and exaggerate my travel withdrawals. Well done and can't wait till the next one!
Loving your videos! 😍I hope you'll try gulf air 787 bussiness class soon!
I’ve used a piece of the in flight magazine as a tickling device on the bottom of the foot. Also just a good thump with the magazine on their shoe does the trick. Mind you, flying business reduces, but doesn’t eliminate, the problem.
They didn't have in-flight magazines.
I Flew with Pegasus Airlines in September Last year and It was really nice. The Aircraft type was a A320Neo with the registration TC-NBU. I flew from DUS to IST, a 3 hour flight. The plane was nearly empty so i had 3 Seats for myself. I ate the same menu like you and as you said it was really nice and tasty. In my flight the Cabin crew did a really good job and I enjoyed my flight. That was my experience with Pegasus. But Turkish Airlines is still better.
I miss ksa. Used to reside there
For a bit coming from Canada. Edit man after watching your video I miss ksa so much. Seeing you talk about the same huwawei outlets in Riyadh as I did years ago makes me miss it a lot. Great to hear a fellow Canadian who’s travelled.
Awesome
Dude you're hilarious! Love it!
Some days are stones man . Love your stuff. Aussie Bob
I enjoy this video just like the rest of the videos you have made ... I have been to Saudi Arabia to work for 2 years and hop in thrice in Riyadh (visiting friends) but didn't notice those things which you have noticed - architecture and food stalls ... I'm based in Jubail, so Damman International is the closest airport to me. Stinky feet is really a behaviour and hygiene issue - I would have highlighted it to the purser rather than the foot into your armrest ... keep safe and thanks for sharing your adventures ...
This runway has a built in Turbulence simulator,😆 that was a Good one 👍
Suka tgk cara dia buat content so casual dan santai… and he’s hilarious too😁😁😁😁
My flight with Pegasus was quite a while ago but i remember it being nice.
I was actually born in khobar in the Eastern region and I still go back every few months, Saudi is actually not a bad country to be living in
It's a fantastic country, life is easy, everyone is nice and the weather is great except for the summer!
only if you are a local or a highly paid western expat. Ask the expats from South Asian countries and you will hear a different story.
You should really be more popular your videos have such a high level of quality!
I think I got addicted to your videos :)
great narration in this video :) Poor situation and crew cabins below the criticism: / I run a travel office myself and from time to time I use flights here and there: P always wonders if passengers think? they are not alone on the plane! some culture! tragedy! I recently had "adventures" on the return flight from Cancun grrr ... I don't want to mention: P I wish you a lot of health in these strange times and I look forward to the next video and return to flying :) greetings from Poland :) Alex
P.S.
sorry for poor english :P
Like your vids, pretty funny. Next time carry a magic marker and leave her a little note on her foot, something like "Phew!". Loved the exploding graphic. Very clever.
Once again, thanks for another thoroughly enjoyable video! Liked a lot of the cultural/historical background info as well... can sympathize with you about an onboard experience where another passenger invades your personal space! Eeeew.
Your sarcasm about the metro project proves that you grew up there Haha. Great content as usual salam from Kuwait
whoa
Won’t be flying that. Great videos
i loove pegasus give then another try
He did what needed to be done to get there. No mean feat as the pandemic was warming up. I vicariously enjoyed these videos during the shutdown.
Love it 😊
I like Pegasus, the meal service is good, they now have a free App to watch movies etc.
Greetings from Scotland.
Grew up in Al Khobar!
Oh my god. I laughed so hard that it hurt - in a good way. Thank you!!
This video has a slightly different vibe to it, kinda more laid back ? Maybe it’s because of the intro but I loved it !
0:51 I almost spilled my tea laughing at that lol
Come on United Polaris eye mask 13:40! They’re so comfortable and unique, definitely my favorite! Are we going to see a transoceanic Polaris review any time soon?
Hey there! Pegasus is a good option in short or domestic flights (1h-1.5h) however their timing is absolutely the worst! One time me and my grandmother were traveling to out hometown during Ramadan. The gates opened half an hour late but the worst is we hat to sit and wait inside of the plane for 3 hours. When I asked for water to give my granny who had high blood pressure and diabetes the crew said they can’t give us free anything. Most Turkish airline companies advertise themselves using Turkish hospitality well the biggest part of the Turkish hospitality is to respect and care for the elders. Anyway after that incident I decided not to use Pegasus anymore and I’m still behind my decision.
Never thought having military aircraft flying overhead would be such a treat. In Phoenix Arizona we constantly have f35s and f16s flying overhead each day, most people think it's annoyingly loud
How do you do all of the graphics!?!?! They look so nice!!! Really inspired by all of your videos! Keep up the amazing work! Voice overs are awesome and so is your content! watched the whole video to support. really disappointed they did nothing to help...
Nice vid! Where do you get your music from, btw?
NZ crew checking in
My experience with Pegasus was good. The crew were nice and took care of the passengers well.
Pegasus is known for underpaying the staff and low engagement among them. Considering the issues with the runway at SAW and a few recent incidents, I would avoid.
the uterus plush is cute.
Ooooohhh dear
He doesn't visits a lounge. That's a must for me. Even without priority passes I'm calling me through to find out which one to buy into...
Wouldn't do for JFK wingtips though...
At 7:38, you say that Turkish don’t fly to Sabiha Gokcen, but at 5:35, the departure board does show a Turkish flight to Sabiha Gokcen about an hour after your flight
Yes good catch! Turkish flies to both SAW and IST, the flight I was looking at goes to IST.
I think Pegasus is a very descent low cost airline. You should give them another shot to Europe maybe.
Covfeet-20 is coming
I flew with Pegasus and it was actually pretty good. You don’t have the best legroom, but it’s a low cost airline. The price is a bit too high for me because I can fly with the same legroom for a lower price to turkey. I’m flying with Corendon and sunexpress this summer. I’m curious how it gonna be
Random comment but maybe one day you can review an ANA flight I hear good things about it also love you AC vids and all your vids in total!!!!!!! ;)
