Qantas Airways’ $100 ticket sale Monday for flights between Los Angeles and Australia overwhelmed the airline’s website, leaving many travelers staring at an error page rather than the booking site. The airline apologized for the tech glitch during the sale that kicked off events planned to mark its 100th year of operations. Despite the problems, the airline will move forward with a second sale Tuesday, this time for airfares from San Francisco to Melbourne or Brisbane. The sale ends when round-trip tickets — 50 to Melbourne, 50 to Brisbane — sell out. Keep on trying.”AdvertisementAt 4 p.m., Qantas announced the 100 super-discounted tickets had sold out.
