Hello! Salut! Hola! Ola! Halo! Shalom! Marhaba!

Flight TLV-SAW on board Pegasus's Boeing 737-800: chttp://flight-report.com/en/report-11106.html
The Airside of Sabiha Gocken Airport:

We'd got a small delay on our flight:

Our plane (Airbus A320(WL), TC-DCC) arrived from a domestic flight from Mersin, Turkey, Plane changed from 737-800 to a brand new A320 with Sharklets!!! This is my 1st flight on board Airbus A320 with sharklets!

Safety instructions were published on the tray table again, instead on a card:

The seat pitch was better than the 737-800:

For comapring, here is the seat pitch on the 737-800:

The tray table was dirty for a 1 year old plane:

A full house for today's flight:
