Dec 29, 2021 at 11:49 comment added Jason Starr If the quotient of the K3 surface is irrational, then you are done (but I guess the construction -- whatever it is -- precludes this case). If the quotient is rational, then your threefold fibers over that rational surface with geometric fibers that are rational curves. Since the involution on the projective line also has fixed points, this projection to the rational surface has a section. For a threefold that is a conic bundle over a rational surface and admits a section, the threefold is rational (in fact the base change to the generic point of the surface is rational).
