Their auto reply bot told us that our visas were delayed by 3 days we were flying in less than 12 hours. We had already downloaded them. Celeste from customer support quickly sorted the issue via WhatsApp explaining the problem with the automated system. She personally checked with the Egyptian government site and confirmed that the visas were valid. Even attached a new set of pdfs yo the chat. Thankyou Celeste!
