For now, it it's still 7h+ for J and 10h+ for Y. They haven't updated their website yet so for all pax intending to transfer 7h-9h on J and 10h-12h on Y should e-mail faster as they could to get a confirmation mail and keep it for their records. It's commonly seen that you could get different answers for the same question from Turkish Airlines which one could be misleading.

The increase in the hours to qualify could mean that there would be more sleeping rooms in the new Exclusive Lounge and the new Business Lounge. However, this means that no sleeping room for Elite Plus when flying Y in the new airport unless TK understands their mistake to allow Elite's and Elite Plus's to the same lounge in the near future.
