This is routing I've settled on, thanks!
This is an odd one. According to Expert Mode, what’s happening is that United.com is pulling up a Y fare for your outbound, because the inventory they’re seeing on the SunExpress flight is Y9 and then 0 for every other bucket. I was able to get a sub-$900 price by changing the origin to EWR, in which case it came up with a seat in A on an earlier arrival into Izmir. So, if you’d like to get yourself to Newark…

This feels like the kind of married segment nonsense that Lufthansa likes to do. Given that SunExpress is a LH/TK venture, perhaps they apply the same level of inventory control.
