Title: Pegasus flight Gatwick to Dalaman via Istanbul
Post by: suziq on January 17, 2016, 10:43:19 PM: Can anybody who has arrived in Dalaman via Istanbul from Gatwick on a Pegasus flight tell me

1. Does the luggage go all the way through or do we have to pick it up in Istanbul?

2. if we buy duty free in Gatwick will we have problems getting through security in Istanbul?

Many thanks. This is all new arriving in the winter for the first time.
