I've booked hotels with free cancellations in all 12 potential capital cities for all matchdays 

Are you serious? 


Why not? It only takes a few minutes and doesn't cost anything. Can save yourself upwards of 70% of the cost or get somewhere nicer to stay.

If flights are cheap I do it for them too.

Definitely worth doing it for expensive cities like Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki anyway.

I get the logic if there is at least a bit of an idea when and where we might play. But the match can fall on any day of the week, say you want 2 nights accommodation, that would be a spreadsheet full of bookings trying to cover all bases 
Ffs, I cba with that. LOL

Think I'll wait until the new year before I start booking anything. I've often found that air fares tend to settle down after the initial rush which comes with the fixtures announcement. 
I think TBH anyone rushing to book games later on today is mad. We have no idea how the world will be in June. Certainly Hotels with free accommodation, but flights are a different matter. Plenty of lads on here got stung for flights during the first wave of covid. Lesson learned. Like booking a concert and paying up front for it to take place in June, and then June comes round and it's deferred until 2023. Ticketmaster have your money, same as Ryanair etc. will. Most of the teams in the group are easy access, except for Armenia & Albania. Ukraine via Amsterdam or Brussels same for Moscow.

Kiev for a weekend just in time for the Russian invasion will be a welcome distraction from covid.

Friday
Last nations league draw was done around 5pm too and fixtures were announced about 10 that night. For the Euro 2020 qualifiers they were announced late that evening after the draw on the Sunday morning and for World Cup Qualifiers draw was in the evening time and fixtures next day. Since the groups are only small it might be possible that they would be announced late tomorrow night but the fact the delegates can’t meet it could be slower.

I think they use computers now rather than the 4 FA’s agreeing?

It's a mix I think, they'd still need to input variables into the software, which could take a while too. But FA's don't get to lobby or horse trade anymore, you're correct there.
