In addition, the only way to travel from Turkey to the USA with no-quarantine on arrival is either to fly TK, or make a detour and fly QR or EK with horrible connection times ( except for QR IST-JFK ). That's why most people would choose the former option.

We'll all see how the situation evolves but IMO, TK would always have loads close to 100% on USA routes for this summer.
these are all very good points. I will book our return flights soon and fortunately award space is still wide open. I think I shouldn’t postpone the bookings after seeing your insights.
