Asking this because I found numerous FT posts on different threads about this topic but most seem to be from at least a year ago and even then seem to have been triggered for travellers who had at least a 24 hour stay in Turkey (not layover).

I have a 13 hour layover next month on the way to the Maldives from US on Turkish Airlines business class. And flying back to the US on Qatar Airways business class (so 2 separate 1 way award bookings made on separate programs, UAL and AA) Thanks
