Beware!! Turkish Airline is a mess

I just wanted to give you all a heads-up before you plan on travelling to Nepal by Turkish Airlines. I just came from Nepal by TA spending more than 70 hours in airport/planes as a result of delays/cancelled flights. Although those delays and cancellation were not coded on the passenger's itinerary, they were implicitly a part of TA's regular flight schedule. This was by far the most excruciating journey and the most humiliating travel experience ever with a Nepali passport. I had similar experience in Qatar airport, but the Qatar airlines made every possible efforts to help me out. This time with TA, we were more than 80 passengers for the US and most of us were not granted transit visa or provided hotel. We had to literally wander from place to place for food vouchers(regretted later for doing so) and  had to live in a crammed lounge room with more 30 people. Those authorities at the airport do not understand English at all, hence became even more difficult accessing information while in transit. One of the officers even gave me a smirk as I handed him my Nepali passport for transit visa. I hope Nepali authority would do something for the sake of thousands of Nepalese travelling through this route.
