Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are functioning mosques and they can be closed to visitors for any reason, even without pre-notice (for a high-level state visit, for example)

Nobody can skip the line at either of the mosques although our guides make it easier and more efficient because they do it every day.

Istanbul has notoriously bad traffic. Give more time to get to the meeting spot than you may have planned
