Long weekend in Istanbul at end of May - Turkey on Govt Red List

Is turkish airlines good, its cheap enough from London at the moment...

Very good airline mate. Before the pandemic they were expanding globally through a combination of low fares and good service. New airport in Istanbul too. Great city so enjoy.

Note - some restaurants don't serve alcohol. Plenty of snacky places available.
 
Athletic reporting the FA are in discussions with UEFA to move the game to UK - Shapps revealed: “The FA are in discussions with UEFA over this. We are very open to hosting the final.”

They go on to say they understand the EFL would cede Wembley for the CL final and move the play-off final to another date.

Can't wait for the Guardian headline: "Oil rich City kick EFL out of Wembley".
 
With so many seemingly insurmountable issues over holding the existing final in Istanbul, and also alternatives such as Wembly, why not just shift the date of the final, put it back to later in the summer in Istanbul? A time when Covid should be less of an issue everywhere. at the same time book Wembley as a back up location. That way, Istanbul, Turkey and UEFA gets the final as planned, date apart. Fans will have their chance to attend in their thousands, hopefully unencumbered by impracticable regulations.

There would be no time because of the European Championships.
