The numbers in Turkey would suggest it will likely be an amber list country when travel resumes. So 10 days' self-isolation and 3 PCR tests is something to factor in to the equation.

Don’t forget, most airlines have COVID rules allowing for cancellation and refund, or at worse, credit for a future flight.

In the US you can get a full refund for any airfare when cancelled within 24 hours of booking. Not sure its the same in UK/EU? but if it is, book the flight around 11pm the night before the game and you can cancel for free if the worst happens.

Edit : just noticed this for BA

Everyone I know who's been to Istanbul says it's a terrific town. One of the few big cities in the world that I'd like to visit that I've never been to. Ever since seeing Topkapi when I was about ten or something, dreamt of going there. And getting up on to the roof. And getting that diamond encrusted dagger.

Excellent City. Been a few times. The Golden Horn is amazing, as a the Blue Mosque and Ayasofia.

I booked my plane tickets a couple of months ago and booked my hotel today.
It is all redundable.
I dont think the match will be there, anyway.
UEFA will want to play it somewhere they can get fans in the ground an ther is a stadium that has had fans in it (I was one of them) a few days ago and they can charge a pretty penny.

Barring that, I am sure Daniel Levy will be happy to let people in for £300 a pop.

I am fully vaxxed and my bookings are based on the principle that I would rather have something I dont need than need something I dont have.

To clarify on this one. If you book your flight now with BA, you get a full refund if you cancel less than 24 hours after you booked the flight.
IF you cancel the flight after that, they give you a fare voucher to the value of the cost of your book.
So if you are going to fly with BA elsewhere, you wont lose out.

Fortuantly as in a Holliday resort the police were not doing spot checks
