Pegasus Airlines lost my brain-computer interface – ignored 10 days

On Sep 2, during a transfer at Istanbul SAW, Pegasus Airlines lost my checked baggage.

It contained: – OpenBCI brain-computer interface – Legacy engine with 30+ years of research and personal archives

I contacted Pegasus multiple times — email, WhatsApp, forms — no human response.

I’m outside Turkey, unable to visit the airport.

This isn’t regular luggage — it’s scientific and personal infrastructure. Still no reply.

    I can’t help in any way, but I’m just curious why you decided to transfer it as a luggage and not as a carry on? Why it didn’t have something like an apple tag inside it and why it wasn’t ensured and didn’t have a backup? Did you research Pegasus before the flight to see if it has a good service?

    Can it be a chance that customs didn’t allow your luggage to be transferred?

    That truly sucks.

    At the same time, you only had one copy of 30 years of research and you put it in checked luggage??

    I hope you recover it. I also hope this inspires a backup plan.

    I think you 'd be better served making social media post(s) and linking to them here so people can upvote/promote/share/like. If they get enough engagement then your are more likely that someone higher up in Pegasus cares and does something.

    Good luck with the lost luggage.

    That being said, I’m interested in your use case for the BCI? From browsing the available literature, it looks like it may be able to track certain parameters, but to what end?
