From my experience, you can add ORD to the list. I was looking for space several months out and couldn't find anything. This was using the ANA website.

TK follows an "all or nothing" system, releasing award seats.

For some days you see 9 seats available for award tickets on most flights (9 is the maximum amount of seats the system displays), then for weeks flights are zeroed out.

Yes it looks like most of the sfo award space is gone, at least compared to when the route was first announced

What date you exactly looking a ticket for ?
There's no such thing pulling award tkt from US. It must be a high-demand time period.

I am looking for award seats during the last week of Feb or 1st week of Mar but I can't find any award seat on Turkish airline from any US airport to IST. I was searching on United.com.
