Australia is critically dependant on air travel to keep the gears of commerce lubricated, and Qantas is the country’s key airline. That forced the government to step in and force flights back into the air.

While Qantas jets again took wing Monday, it’s going to take a couple of days to sort out schedules.

If you’ve been caught in the middle, between Qantas and the people who work for it, you can get a full refund. Stranded? The airline’s website says you can apply for compensation via its Accommodations and Incidental Expenses claim form.

Meanwhile, over at Air France flight attendants went out on strike, forcing the cancellation of some 20 percent of the French flag carrier’s departures. Short- and medium-haul flights took the biggest hit, but a number of long-hauls were also axed. Cancelled for today, Monday, Oct. 3:

  • AF072, a Paris flight to Los Angeles.
  • AF069, the return Los Angeles flight to Paris.
  • AF026, a Paris flight to Washington, DC.
  • AF027, the return Washington, DC flight to Paris.
  • AF682, a Paris flight to Atlanta.
  • AF681, the return Atlanta flight to Paris.

Air France is currently showing just two long-haul cancellations affecting the United States on Tues., Nov. 1: AF682/681 again, the Paris – Atlanta round-trip.

Air France is allowing affected fliers to change their travel free of charge through Dec. 9, regardless of the fare paid.

The final piece of the weekend breakdown fell into place Saturday when a heavy, wet late autumn snow plopped down upon the northeast, affecting flights form New England to Maryland.

I bet that title got your attention didn’t it? Most people do not realize just how much the airline mark up ticket prices, and you can in fact travel first class even when you are on a budget. In this article I am going to share with you how to take advantage of budget airline travel and still get great airline tickets.

1. The first thing that will help your case is being willing to fly at times when most people do not want to. when flights are scheduled at odd times they typically do not fill to capacity. You can take advantage of this by negotiating directly with the airlines for the unoccupied seats. This is a fast and effective way to get great prices on airline tickets and travel first class on a budget.

2. Another method that is not very well known is to contact the airlines directly. Most people simply blow this tip off, because they do not know how to proper utilize it. The key to contacting the airlines directly is to do it at the right time. You want to make sure that you call right at midnight, because this is when the systems (and thus the travel specials) are updated for the next day. Savvy airline travelers have been using this method for years to travel first class for less, and now you can too.

3. Get to know someone within the travel industry. An ex-airline employee is ideal for this, because they often times give secrets away to friends or family. If you are looking for budget airline travel tips then their is no better person to consult then an ex-airline employee. You can travel first class for less if you know the same tips that I learned!
