Contact Air France if you have a flight scheduled this weekend.

From ap:

“Air France warned on Wednesday of significant disruptions to flights during a four-day French pilots strike set to start Friday.

The carrier said the walkout was called to protest the French Parliament’s coming discussion of a broad reform bill that could extend the retirement age for pilots to 65 from 60.

Air France said it expected nearly half of its 833 scheduled mid- and long-range flights Friday to be canceled, and possibly more long-distance flights later.”
