Looking at flights with connections from Istanbul to Dalaman
It only allows for one hour ( Do you think this will be a bit tight ) could anyone advise me on the fast track i.e. How this works, can you pay before we go, and costs

Done the Stansted via Istanbul route with Pegasus many times & always caught the connection. Yes, it's tight & I've sometimes had to be a bit pushy at passport control!
Here's my experience from last year

Yes, we've done the same Stansted to Dalaman trip. It gets a bit tense when you've taken off late from Stansted but we have always made it and legging it quickly through international and into domestic is usually pretty straightforward with (sometimes!) Pegasus staff helping you on your way. The only time we have missed a connection was the reverse trip from Dalaman to Stansted where we just could not get through a crush of people at passport control in Istanbul and had to wait for 6 hours.

Stortman if you was to miss connection for flight on either leg do you have to pay for new flight or does PEGASUS get you on the next available flight
Also what happened to your baggage??

I travel stansted to Dalaman via Istanbul several times a year and in my experience you need at least and hour and a half between flights, even if they are on time, as Istanbul is always busy.
We missed our connection couple of weeks ago and Pegasus just booked on onto the next flight two hours later. I guess this would depend how full the flight was.
Never used fast track but their queues are often very long too. It's difficult to book from uk as when I recently tried it did not accept uk cards. You can buy at airport but if your short of time it's impossible.

They will put you on the next available flight. If its the following day they will provide free hotel accommodation. It's happened to us a couple of times in each case our luggage arrived with us at Dalaman with no problem.

Yes Fishman they do put you on next flight. We had option of going to hotel for 6-7 hours or staying at airport. They paid for a lunch although no alcohol!
