Great session this morning with top talents from https://t.co/Wm1BSt3Ihw! Was fun to share real life stories about tech, Africa and the early days of @instadeepai. @KaliTessera also discussed our #Mava research work. Thank you @emrevarol for inviting us! #A2SV

@qrsupport It has been more than 8 hours, still no one is helping with the case, this is an absolute shit-show. Thank you @qatarairways. It was the first time I choose you, and will be the last time for sure.

[Emre Varol @emrevarol]

@qatarairways I am not accepted for boarding since my flight lands at 23:40, and my visa starts at 00:00. Reason: What if the flight arrives earlier. I was kept waiting over 45 mins and finally suggested to call the customer service. No one at the airport to talk to...

[Emre Varol @emrevarol]

@qrsupport I could have gotten a new e-visa if I was informed, rather than keeping me waited for over 40 mins. And again, what if the flight arrives earlier is not a valid or logical reason to deny boarding. Not having a professional except an hostess at the airport is absolute non-sense.

[Emre Varol @emrevarol]

@qrsupport ^

[Emre Varol @emrevarol]

And the case is treated as a no-show, and I am asked to pay $180, already losing 2 days. What a shit-show. An hostess is trying to reach a supervisor for 45 mins, there is no one to talk to. Simply unbelievable. I could have gotten a new e-visa in the meantime.
